Hi Rufus Welcome from a very Oldie.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='44647' date='Aug 12 2007, 11:15 PM']Beautiful! Are you bringing her to the Bash on Saturday - would love to hear how she sounds? Nik P.S. any chance of ordering some leads and collecting Saturday.....??[/quote] Yes and yes.

I've finally got the recently acquired Lakland Daryll Jones 4-string ready for action. New scratchplate, new strings, J-Retro and she's ready to gig.
-
Bought his Lakland DJ4. Absolutely no issues. Very nice chap delivered it on his way home from work.

I think you'll find that because on EH pedals the chassis connectedto 0v (-) and on Boss it's connected to +9v(+), you need to totally isolate the socket from the chassis. I make and sell adaptor cables and I have a few odd ones that were cut slightly too short. If you want one f.o.c. then pm me.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='40946' date='Aug 3 2007, 03:45 PM']Dave Best of luck this weekend. I can't make it unfortunately. Is the DJ 4 string being taken for a walk tonight? Will definitely see you on the 24th though. Nick[/quote] Thanks. Most certainly is. Used it on Sunday and there were several comments about the tone so I must be doing something right.

Second Time Around have 2 gigs this weekend. Friday 3rd August at the Running Horse, London Road, Bracknell. Saturday 4th at the Crown and Cushion, Haslemere, Surrey. Both new venues for us.

I know it's not black and I know it's not a maple board but who cares. Just to keep the gas fueled:

I could be interested in the Ashbory if you decide to sell.

[quote name='beerdragon' post='39005' date='Jul 30 2007, 03:29 PM']The seller of this Stingray describes it as a one off, not being up on ray's what makes it a one off? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/musicman-stingray-bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ270149331506QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/musicman-stingray-ba...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url][/quote] I can't see that it's any different to any other. The colour is Blue Dawn I think. Black into Blue with a sparkly coat.

The best Fender Jazz is a Lakland.

[quote name='paul, the' post='38447' date='Jul 29 2007, 12:57 PM']Has anyone compared them to a vintage Gibson? Or is it just that some people don't like the muddy tone? What would you do it with it ('project') if you were to acquire one obbm? paul?[/quote] Maybe fit a Dark Star, maybe use it. We're a 60s/70s covers band so it fits, muddy tone and all. I once had an EB0 which was nice to play as I have smallish hands. At the sort of price they are going for it would make an alternative bit of fun to Squier Vintage modified, and it's not a Fender.

Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones Signature Bass (4 string)
obbm replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='paul, the' post='38417' date='Jul 29 2007, 12:26 PM']Yeeeaarrrghhh! Congrats on your purchase obbm, I am most pleased for you. Let me know if you ever want to sells it. How much does she weigh by the way? Cheers, paul, the.[/quote] Thanks. I shall have to buy some scales or a spring balance before I can give you the weight. I have no method of weighing anything. -
As you quite rightly say, priceless.
-
Anyone own or have owned one of these? Any comments/opinions/experiences? They look like they would make a good cheap project bass.

Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones Signature Bass (4 string)
obbm replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='paul, the' post='38329' date='Jul 29 2007, 01:54 AM'] I still think about this bass. I would have bought it had it been Fralin equipped.[/quote] When I took it apart to fit the J-Retro I could find no identifying marks on the pick-ups so I emailed Lakland to ask the difference between Aeros and Laklands own. [quote]You can tell by looking at the leads. The Aero pickups have black and white lead wires. The Laklands have red and black, and green and black.[/quote] The Aeros in my DJ5 are plastic covered but this DJ4 has cloth covered wires so back again. [quote]The cloth covered wires are on the Lindy Fralin pickups. The plastic coated wires are the Aeros. There have been times when the Aeros were hard to come by. We would sometimes install the Lindy Fralins if there was a pinch. We wouldn't go the other way however (Aeros for Fralins). We feel that the Fralins sound better than the Aeros.[/quote] So there you go it's a DJ4 factory fitted with Lindy Fralins, hardly to the published spec but I'm well pleased. For future reference it might well be worth having a look inside to check before buying a Daryll Jones. paul,the - Sorry -

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='37670' date='Jul 27 2007, 09:31 AM']Which ones are you bringing to the bash?[/quote] Probably the DJ4, DJ5, Duck Dunn, Stingray 5 with Status Neck & East pre-amp and maybe the 1980 Stingray. A bit of a load but it's not far. -

[quote name='bassninja' post='35500' date='Jul 22 2007, 11:39 AM']Anybody else play Bognor Rox event over the weekend?[/quote] Did Bognor Live in 2002. Halfway through the third number on the main stage the heavens opened, the audience disappeared and we eventually finished the set with the sound crew zipped in their tent, the stage crew on stage with us and the 2 security guys in waterproofs standing out front in case someone rushed the stage. We did hear applause from somewhere but couldn't see where. In 2003 on the second stage we couldn't get down to the stupid sound level set by some jobsworth in the district council so they faded us down. The unamplified drum kit was over their limit. We walked off, had a big row with the organisers, the mayor and the police. Put all the kit back in the cars and went home. What a waste of a beautiful afternoon. I'm not sure I ever want to go to Bognor again.

OK so I've just sold a bass and need to send it to the North-west. What is the best way? BTW it needs to be insured for over £1000.

[quote name='ped' post='36902' date='Jul 25 2007, 03:29 PM']I am back home now and except from not having a voice and being quite stiff I should be ok for the bash. Looking forward to it immensely - Will probably bring a light amount of gear to be honest, the Bacchus 24 5er perhaps.[/quote] Glad to hear that you got through it OK.

[quote name='Chezz55' post='36836' date='Jul 25 2007, 12:50 PM']No gig in the diary for the 18th and I'd be interested in coming along (subject to the infinite perversities of life, the universe and everything of course). I'm a newbie when it comes to 'Bass Bashes'. Do I need to confirm or otherwise my attendance and who's the best person to contact for more info and answers to my dumb questions? Chris.[/quote] It's always nice to know who is coming but not essential. pm me if you want info.

Nice pedal-board loom Belated Happy Birthday.

The head may well be able to work down to 2-ohms however it will generate a lot more heat. Another thing you might want to condiser is that the 4-ohm cab will probably be louder than the 8-ohm and tend to dominate. Much better to have two cabs of the same impedance and the same spl/watt if you can manage it.
