Thats funny - it has happened me too. I personally find it hard to do it my self...Not that there is anything wrong with it!



Doh, just saw my 77P there for several hundred more than I sold it to him for. I just assumed he was buying her for himself. I guess I can't complain. We negotiated a price and I was OK w it. Just was shock a minute ago when I saw my old bass up there, that's all.
 
Yeah!!!! I didn even need to go to the LOG for that one- NICE!!!!:hyper:


As some may recall, I recently purchased this bass from Leo at Leosgear.com.

I e-mailed Kirk at Lakland to get as much of a history on it as I could. At his request, I sent him this picture:

Anyone care to guess what happened next?
 
Doug, is it REALLY you?! You mean, you dropped a prototype for a kiss and now you're telling not to worry? :D
To say nothing of converting a prototype... I AM BEIND WORRIED! :D:D:D

Denis:

could not come up with the cash in time....my loss is HIS gain and NOW I hear those are "Sleeper- CHIs"????? yes!!!

nice Cracker Jack surprise - right Gus!!!
 
So here's a couple of pics of my new to me USJO4. A burgundy mist alder/rosewood combo. These are pics from the Low End site. I've been traveling for work and haven't had time to take any of my own. My only amp was out for service when it came two weeks ago so I haven't even had an opportunity to give it a proper run through on my own gear or compare it to my other JO, natural ash/maple. It's with me though. I've been playing it through a Korg PX4D and headphones. The freaky thing about my two JO's is that only one serial # sits between the two. I bought both of them used from two different sellers two or so months apart. One is JO545 and the other JO547. The reason I bought a second one, as if I need a reason, is that i missed out on a burg mist JO when I started looking. Then I came across the ash maple at an insane price and had to get it. Then of course two months later I find another used burg mist JO at the Low End. I sold my DPLEII to make it happen. It turns out the previous owner had a matched pair and brought them in for Brian to sell one at a time. I wonder if the first one i missed out on was # 546. I'll take more pix when i have time maybe next weekend when I return home and finally get to play through my rig. I'm also beginning to toy with the idea that the ash maple JO may have a set of Chis in it's future.

Oh man!!! GREAT score and GREAT story! I really like that color!

if you have 2 JOs - the RULE is one HAS to be CHI'd...or didn't you get the memo????
 
OOOOOHHHH!!! so you talked to Leo?

Man! I will have to try that one before they ship it out....just tell me where to send it/take it!!!:D

talked to him friday, i think i was supposed to call him today to find out if they have the DC's in stock, but i didn't remember til late. maybe i'll still call and leave a voicemail.

i'm hoping they take their time bc i won't be able to pay them until may...got a credit card to pay off and that's gonna happen after i finish buying that certain dj from a certain someone. :ninja:
 
I have no idea if anyone around here would know, but I ordered a Skyline DJ in white/maple back in February, and that color/neck combination ended up being on backorder, and still have no news on when it might get in yet :hmm: The wait was originally estimated at a month, then a month later, I was told three more weeks--meanwhile, I'm going quietly insane from anticipation.

I figure it might be a long shot, but does anyone around here know when the next batch of white Skyline DJ's might come in?

No BUT - you can e-mail [email protected] to find out!!! He should know!

I know last time I was there (3-4 weeks ago) there were boxes and boxes from Indonesia......and one of them said something Like "Lakeland Bob Glaud"...so much for spelling!
 
I´m waiting for my new Lakland...week 3!:crying::help:
noisetree


Week 3????? and you are complaining already!!?? (sorry - could not resist!).....when you ordered it, what time frame was provided? My average wait for Skylines (new) has been 6-7 months....I got my last 2 US ones much faster because they were "in stock" but one of them still took 4-6 weeks due to pickup and pick guard delays!!!
