Interested to hear how that goes ... and what it costs. I think I might order a fretless unlined ebony neck as an alternate for my 55-94D

Based on really complex testing (play a note, bridge up/neck down followed by neck up/bridge down) I don't seem to notice a big disparity between Chis on my JO5. I'll try and run it through Cubase later and see if it shows anything obvious on the meters.
for a US Lakland, it might be cheaper to find a used fretless 55-94. A new US Lakland neck is quite expensive.

well i've emailed lakland about my neck issues already and the possibility of ordering all black hardware, but haven't gotten a response yet. i'll give it til tuesday or wednesday before i email someone else over there. 
Shoot. I've never see one available to the UK (on eBay) at that kind of price. In fact I think I've only ever seen 2 fretless 55-94s on eBay in the 3.5 years I've had my fretted 55-94 ... and both of those were lined ... not what I want.
Don't suppose anyone here has an unlined fretless 55-94 neck they want to dispose of ? Or indeed, a neck attached to a body ?

If this is for a Skyline, I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. They would have to make a custom neck for it, and then you might as well buy a US.
Sorry Evan. I learned the hard way, several times, to just go ahead and bid early and high, the max I could live with anyways. Nothing sucks more than wondering if you could have gotten it for 30 more bucks.
In this economy $1600 was high - last year it would have been a steal...man that 4-07 at NAMM has me gassing big time for a MM style bass again....I'm considering a FT Decade for a 4-94
I posted some more detailed pics of the Indonesian Skyline JO5 CS on the Link Removed site under forums>maternity ward. They show neck joints and pickup fits and all that. They are indicative of the Indonesian build quality, so check them out if interested!

I finally got some good pics taken outdoors of my two Laklands, they're being uploaded to Photobucket as I type this. Next I've got to figure out if I can properly follow the instructions posted on this thread and get them posted, which I'm going to have some help with, but I might not have help until tomorrow. At least I've seen forward progress.
Just wanted to let you guys know I'll have (with any amount of luck) quite a few pics up very soon, and I'm not full of crap.
