Lakland Owners Group #69

No, the bushing diameter on the standard US sets are too large. I ordered mine from BBG and they had Hipshot send the correct size bushings. You could always go direct and talk with Jason at Hipshot about sending a tuner set for Skylines.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I have a set of ultralights for sale and someone asked me if they would fit, I didn't think they would.
 
I finally got the black pickguard from Lakland. Perfect fit, as expected. This DJ5 has become my #1 bass.
My favorite pickup combination so far is a Lakland Hanson at the Neck, and a Nordstrand at the Bridge. Great blend of 60’s growl at the bridge & 70’s clarity at the neck, but the only issue is that I get some hum now. Not a grounding issue, just the 60 cycle hum noise, even with both on full. I may end up switching back to a matched pair. The bass is simply awesome.

Gorgeous bass.....slick, clean and understated....love it. I have never tried other pups in my DJ5s but I'd love to find an older one with the Aeros in it.....
