Sneak peek at a little something from Leo last week...
Proper photos to come when I'm actually home long enough to do it, but first impressions compared to the 44-64 PJ that just left:
This one is 3 pounds heavier, tipping the scales at 12-12.5 lbs. She's a beast.
The playability is the same- superb Plek'd neck, no setup needed out of the box.
The EMGs seem a bit more aggressive? Haven't really gotten to PLAY yet, so unsure.
I'm trying to love the black hardware. Never been a fan, but willing to give it a shot for a while. I know it's blasphemous, but I'm dying to do everything chrome, and throw a white pearl guard on it to match the blocks, lol.
Love the color and the grain. Absolutely beautiful.

Looks great

I’m not a big fan of purple, but this shade with the black guard and hardware is eye-catching. I used to not like burgundy mist either, until I got one and it’s really grown on me. Hope you enjoy!

Yes! Swap all that black out for chrome and pearl! It will look great!

My GZ is heavy too. But, I think it’s only 10 something, IIRC.

I used not to buy green basses. At one point last week I owned three of them. (now 2, surf green and emerald metallic green).

GMAN...you do live in Cali.... The green party is "in" there...( PS..... Not getting political...ok... Maybe a bit... But it makes sense... I'm not saying I do or don't support them... Just commenting.....)

Surf Green (G&L Tribute Fallout)

7 basses.... pfft… amateur! ;-D

I kid... I kid. I need help w/ my bass collecting/hoarding, honestly.

How do you like that Acinonyx? I've seen a youtube review on it.

 

[blondmix3]

I'll get back into collecting basses once I'm not paying for dance lessons and goalkeeper gloves!

Although there's always plenty of other non-bass things to spend money on... especially since we started doing our taxes together and my wife knows how much I really make now

7 is down several from my peak, including selling my DB and EUB.

I used to not like black basses. But when I saw a great price on an almost new black 55-94 with rosewood fb I pulled the trigger. Lol. Now it's been my most gigged one.

SICK!!!!

 

[blondmix3]

Complete awesomeness!

 

[bassbully]

Picked this up on CL today a 2008 DJ5 in black sparkle finish. The bass is mint and sounds and plays amazing like my two other Laklands. I was told the early DJ5s had Aero pups is that true?
