WOW! A Sick LEJ5!

That's definitely a nice one. I wouldn't mind owning one, but the $$ just ain't there right now.
I love Dan Lutz's demo of his LEJ on Youtube.

I feel you man. I was super impressed with the LEJs I played when I visited the Low End shop. I also felt that Brian Barrett was a super nice and down to earth guy. I think my Fender will have to do, but if I can see my way clear, I would love one of those sizzly basses.
I don't think it's possible to describe a LEJ as anything but 'sick'.
Edit: On a side note, that doesn't look 'purple' to me. More blue.

This six totally blew my mind. It has slap tone for days, and I usually don't like P/J slap tones.
I'm with ya on the PJ slap tones. Usually not my thing.
I love the LEJ's that look traditional. For some reason, the ones with exotic tops just really haven't done it for me.
Very nice. I've always enjoyed checking out the different colours and pickguard/hardware/wood variations in the LEJ basses. I feel like a kid drawn to candy.
Surprised no one's gotten hot about this one ... yet.
It needs more strings.

Nice instruments, one and all. But I find their website awkward and time consuming, so it's unlikely I'll be buying anything from 'em.
Thanks - I filmed those and edited them together.
Not sure why I am telling you this...I just thought it would be an interesting fun-fact. Is it?

Out of all of the players I've watched his chops just kill.
The majority of bass manufacturer websites suck. In fact the majority of websites on the whole internet suck. Gonna boycott them all? Ok with me, it's your loss!
Depends on a few things - primarily the woods you choose, whether your bridge is brass or aluminum, & whether the knobs are brass.
I recall him having a 6-string at 8 lbs once. One of my 6-strings is under 10 lbs, and one just over 10 lbs (with brass bridge and knobs which add at least a pound right there).
I also bought a DJ5 off Brian which is only around 8.5 lbs but a lot of people say their Skyline/DJ basses are much heavier - around 10 lbs - which shows there can be a lot of variance even among "identical" mass-produced basses.
As for the website, I find it to be refreshingly simple and easy to navigate.
