Thanks! I'm not real big on stickers but I added the tattered Old Glory this summer for a 4th of July show and I liked the way it looked so decided to keep it.

100% agreed

Last night, with my Carlo. She’s my favorite!

 

[basspraiser]

You look very happy JJ!

 

[ODDBALL]

love it....I've had a few...now have two (1@ fretless with LH3 preamp 1@ chisonic pickup)

Does a LH3 pre fit in the 55-60?

 

[JEDI BASS]

You should hear it and you’d know why! Plus, it looks and plays so beautifully!

Not a stock 55-60.
This one had a cavity in the back... And no pick guard

As always Doug, nice room! Hmmm, who wants to be played today?

Has anyone added a pre to a newer 55-60?

As mentioned up above, I'm running an Audere Pro Jz3 4-band pre on a standard jazz control plate that drops right in.

How does that sound? Are you using the stock pickups?

I am currently running stock pickups as I've been pleased with what the Audere has brought out in them. CAVEAT: I use it live and have not used it for recording purposes (prefer my 55-02 for that) but I routinely get compliments on my tone during shows using just the bass pre, an OVNIFX Smoothie compressor into a DI box.

Relix, the celebration for the newspaper’s 2019 Best of Knoxville winners.

Has anyone noticed that the newer Lakland Skylines are lighter than the old ones? I'm in the market for a Duck Dunn 44-64 when I go back to the US for Christmas and am looking for a boat anchor of 10.5 pounds or more. The new ones are only about 8.5 pounds, while my 2007 Joe Osborne is 11 pounds - love it! It weighs only a pound less than my 1974 Fender Jazz, which aside from sounding great, is also suitable for putting in your trunk of your rear-wheel drive car for traction during snowy weather.

Whoever is complaining about Skylines being heavy, stop it because apparently Lakland listened to you!

My Skyline Duck Dunn is pretty heavy. Not sure of actual weight though. Sadly, I've been having shoulder pain issues and I may have to sell. Really don't want to, because, to me, it's perfection in a bass

My 44-64 is also just above 9lbs and I'm having a new one made that is chambered with Hipshot UL's. If you sell, this would be an option for the proceeds.
