Lakland Owners Group #69

Found a US JO bass in a local shop. It may be the best bass I have ever played. One small concern, it has no serial number that I can find. Also no model name on the headstock. Is this normal?

The necks on US Laklands are generally easily identified from the grain of the wood. The serial number would normally be on the side of the headstock - can't be removed without noticing. I don't know about replacement necks though. But, even on a replacement neck the "Made in the USA" stamp should be at the back of the headstock.
 
Sorry to jump on a different topic.
I recently got a Skyline JO4 with rosewood fretboard and thinking of putting either TI flats, Rotosound Swing 66 or DR Sunbeams. Any other suggestion or personal experience with any of these specific sets on a JO?
Yup
I have two suggestions. I have TI flats on my JO and love it. What also is really nice on a JO are La bella 1/4 rounds

Just paid for my Lakland, y'all.
Might get it by the end of the week!

And Doug, we all want to see the frumpy shorts enlightenment photo again...


Argh! cannot seem to find it on my home PC!

I did some searching and found references to the FS in various LOG posts ....it sure was fun to review some posts from 2012 to 2013! So much has happened....but NO Frumpy Shorts picture :(:spam::lock:

I guess it has become extinct like the Doude Wave and Bigfoot.....

I do have this form 2016 but not the same...
