So I had to go (drive) to Indianapolis today for a short project and had an interesting Lakland day:

1) Dropped J4's (HaPpYfAcE's) bass of at Lakland...had to be one of my fastest trips there! I was running late due to (TERRIBLE) Chicago Traffic so it was go in, drop it off and leave...no-one from Lakland "office staff" was there anyways (yet)....did not check out the back for fear of being weigh laid and being even more late!!!

2) got confirmation that my fretless has been paid for (yippeeee!) - see earlier post

3) auditioned a nice but mojo'd 55-94 fretless with Barts and flats....nice and light and the neck was uber sweet but something about it just did not make me swoon so...I passed.

on my way home tomorrow I am stopping by Lakland for a more lieserly visit ....want to talk to Leo and Carl about a few things (:ninja::ninja:) now that I have some cash from the sale of 2 basses....and I will try out the -76 to see what I think so I can report on how it compares to Ferg's....

all in all a good day!!!

PS - nice day for a drive (5 hours) as well and my client was prepared for me (a rarity!) so my time on site went very well overall!

I heard of someone else (TBer bdeaux) ordering one that way not long ago. I hope to do that when I get a US Glaub myself.

Actually, the first Lakland I ever played was a 'burst Glaub with a DS, at Bass Club Chicago! Very nice.

great pic, but the black binding / white letters make me think of a headstone...

Looks like a Joe Osborne--it's got the full-size body and dots (rather than blocks or binding). Also, it's got VVT controls, which means it's probably a Skyline--US JOs normally come with stacked pots. (I haven't seen a good shot of the headstock yet.) It does sound very good!

do active US JO5s also come with stacked pots? I thought they come with 3 or 4 knobs

I was only talking about changing the Chi HH with a SS switch into a Chi HS with coil tapping on bridge similar to the 94 series.
