They look exactly like my 2021 Skyline tuners, and my 2021 US Hipshot tuners on my Carlo say “Hipshot USA”. All my US 55-94s have had smaller post tuners, as seen in the pic of my latest one with black hardware.

mi carlo....
I do remember a delay in receiving the bass because I ordered a B string detuner from an outlet I won't name. (it stayed lost in transit, actually, it had a tracking number for six weeks and sat there). I suspect when I bought it, they went out trying to find one lol....

Such a cool bass!!
Thanks brother! I should not have loaned it to you, it seems to have sparked your need for a five string? lol...
Hot damn. That CP bass is fire.
That was an old man moment for me. I had them reversed in my head. I though the licensed had that marked on them and the USA had no additional marking. As you pointed out it's the reverse.
Wellllll…. I didn’t have a single 5er among my (embarrassingly- way too large) collection. And, I’ve been wanting a pre-2K 55-94 replacement for the bass I named Traci. I still don’t have any desire to gig a 5 string though.
John says she'll get built up today!
So that’s where the funk is. Who knew?
what, you mean in the pocket? The funk lives in the pocket…
Don't beat yourself up, some import Hipshot tuners used to have LIC engraved on them. See here:

I feel a ton better now. That is exactly how I was remembering it. I didn't realize they had changed things around and just assumed my entire memory was false.
We had a bit cooler overcast day so I decided to take advantage and update some shots of my basses. Here’s my US Glaub with jazz profile neck.
That's a beauty! They nailed the 60's burst on that!
I really would like another 44-64 US again, had a couple previously, but not quite settled no one.

Thanks! This was my first Lakland which I gravitated towards due to the jazz neck. At the time there wasn't anything "another bass company" had on the market that I was looking for so I took the plunge. I haven't been disappointed and she as been with me the past 12 years. I can't say that for several different high end basses that I have owned.

On another note, have any Lakland owners owned, or currently own, a Lakland with a factory Nitro finish?
I know they do it as a custom option, but wanted to see if there were any in the wild.
Cheers

Still loving my Skyline 44-60 fretless!
Question about DJ Skylines - I know the control plate is a different shape than a stock Jazz.
Is the cavity also shaped different?
And do "drop-in-plate Jazz preamps" besides the East DJ-Retro fit OK?
Thanks!
