OK guys, haven't been on as much the past couple of days because it was NBDX2 (new bass day times two). First arrival was a 55-01 that plays and looks great, that is going to be my backup until the BG5 is here. The REAL reason I've been ummm, predisposed, is I can't stop playing what came the next day.....
a brand new PLEKtastic DJ5 from Beaver at Bass Central. This thing plays and sounds FANTABULOUS!!!!!!

I'm in love with my jazz bass but it does not get any playing time now. My 55-94 really has everything I want but I like having a jazz in my stable.

Now though, ohhhh now, I'm totally excited for this LOG bass. But I'm also thinking I might trade my jazz in for a jo or dj and put some of that cash towards a decade.

What is going on with me?

I'm feeling myself drawn towards the classifieds section. I should take a few days to think about this.

a 55-94, a Lakland Jazz, a Lakland P and a Decade...I'll be just like...just like... just like one of you guys.

HAPPY BASSDAY TO YOU!!!


I've been debating putting a pup cover on my DJ5 and JO5. That looks smooth and classy! Congrats!

So, I took Amber North in for a tune-up Yesterday, so as she'll be ready for the St-Patrick's week slaughter. To-day I get a call about what I *thought* was an imaginary sound issue. Turns out there was some problem with the electronics that wouldn't escape me if I wasn't fresh from a couple of bottles of wine at my sister's birthday supper.

This is the *second* issue I've had with the circuitboard inside that bass, and it's costing me $40 more than the simple seasonal set-up was costing. Argh!

This bass is as hard to love electronically as it is easy to love in the feel and sound department. As soon as I can get my finances together, I think I'll be on the market for a *passive* freaking bass.

Andy, no problem, glad to answer your questions. As for my Sky Decade, I think it's pretty versatile (in part due to the pickup locations). I can get:
*a very smooth version of a P-bass tone with the neck pup solo'd in single-coil mode

*a growly, sort-of J tone (but thicker) with both pups on full in single mode

*a big, nasty growler with the bridge pup solo'd in humbucking mode

*a dub tone (but with some growl) with the neck pup solo'd in humbucking mode

*something between a P and a J (but bigger than both) with both pups on full in humbucking mode

And that's all with rounds! The only thing it might not be great for is slap, mostly due to the placement of the neck pup.

I haven't tried flats yet, but some people love them with the Chi's. The other night, I checked out TBer Aquanova's Youtube clips with her Decade strung with half-rounds--nice old-school funk tone!

That truly does sound like heaven. Hmmmm, maybe after the BG5 I will have to save for a Decade Fiver...... That would be a great trio, DJ5, BG5, and Decade 5!!!!!
