Lakland Skyline quality

[basspraiser]

my complaint has gone. seems my problem is more the user than the bass.

that is usually my problem....I am not worthy of the basses I play!!!!

 

[Billy Low]

....it is not the "nicest" place in town but it ALWAYS feels like home when you visit...even if it is the first time!!!

Hey, we've swept the floor a couple of times this year, oh yeah, and we now have Nag Champa and Patchouli simmering oils and candles around the shop...for optimum ambience (hrumph, my idea)!!!!

I'll have you know that the environs are the secret to the "mojo" in the Lakland basses. Oops! I let the cat out of the bag.

That doesn't seem like too much of an oddball though the PJ might make it take a little longer because it is a different route and is a bit of custom order. I stick by my original statement, I would definitely get a refund from the dealer if you can't continue to wait. I know if given the chance Dan and Crew will take care of you! Have you talked to Brian or John or anybody directly at Lakland? I am not insinuating anything at all, but I do know of at least one dealer who would get deposits and never place the order...I would confirm with Lakland that they actually have it and get their take on the delay...Good Luck and let us know how it turns out.

Peace,

T

Thanks all of you for your feed back
John Pirruccello e mailed me and gave me a delivery date
Everything is fine and I am looking forward to playing my new Lakland.

Yeah I'm sure that the fine gents at Lakland are really busy getting this shipment prepped. I'm anxiously awaiting John or Brian to contact me regarding getting my Decade to me. From what I've heard already I will not be disappointed with what we chose for specs or the quality of the product!

Dayuuum! Is that from the new Indonesian shipment? GAS gas pedal to the max.

Hmmmm.. how tightly does the neck fit in the pocket? If you take any requests, I'd kill to see a closeup of that neck. Please?

 

[VinOnBass]

hello, Im new to TB!

Hope some of you could answer my question.

If I were to buy DJ4 Skyline series, when would be the best time to buy? I would want the "upgraded, better quality" lakland that was posted.

thanks!

Hahaha, oh man!
You pose a very interesting question, Vin. Check out the official Lakland thread here because I asked the exact same thing. However, which answer you accept is solely up to you.

 

[JAUQO III-X]

And for those who seem to have an issue with basses made in Indonesia,on the back of the headstock in plain view is made in Indonesia

You pose a very interesting question, Vin. Check out the official Lakland thread here because I asked the exact same thing. However, which answer you accept is solely up to you.

If you ordered one today, there is a very good chance that you will get a made in Indonesia Lakland Skyline.

But for the record there are a very few of the made in Korea Skylines still available.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

Barkless... i kinda hate you right now.

that looks beautiful and i can only hope that mine will look half as good.
i just want it here!

oh, and Happy Last-Holiday-Before-Christmas, everyone!

 

[VinOnBass]

haha! in simple terms, Indo or Korea made..which is better?

 

[ghoulbug]

haha! in simple terms, Indo or Korea made..which is better?

Check out the LOG thread! In simple terms, it's "nobody knows for sure yet."
I myself, however, have decided to ignore all those Korean skylines already in stock all over the world, and instead wait for an Indonesian one to be available. Hopefully, I won't be kicking myself in the future for this gamble!

If you ordered one today, there is a very good chance that you will get a made in Indonesia Lakland Skyline.

So the Indonesian Skylines are already shipping?
Barklessdog wasn't getting a special VIP pass at getting one early? Yay!

EDIT: Bass Central just told me that the "new ones" are expected at the Lakland factory at around Xmas.
With the sloooow shipping during holidays, I guess it'll be hard to get that special Christmas feeling with this one...

 

[ZoomBoy]

John why must you tease me so badly! Arrrghhh!

Just waiting on the call from Lakland now!

Jeff

 

[ZoomBoy]

For the record this will be my 3rd Skyline. The quality has been there on the ones I've had so far. As far as the VIP treatment goes BD, myself and others are the ones who spec'd this run out so we are getting the first 10 or so. No favoritism at all.

[VinOnBass]

Alright, I shall gamble on this too. =)

Hope to get a my lakland DJ4 that will totally put my Fender Jazz aside.
haha!
