The LB100 looks great fretless. I saw a black Tony Franklin fretless last weekend and I had a similar GAS attack. 🙂 I’ve always been quite curious about the JB2. I have an L2000 with the 1 5/8 neck and it’s great to play (although the tone can be a bit too distinctive sometimes). Will keep and eye out for what you do regarding selling it (and the neck). I’ve no money of course. If I did, I’d be inclined to put your LB100 maple neck on my L2000 and the L2000’s rosewood/black headstock neck onto the JB2. I can dream.....

Nordstrand's excellent Music Man Stingray replacement/upgrade pickup. They say same spec as Ernie Ball 70s Stingray pickup, less clanky than the modern ones. More here: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/mm4-2-dual-coil I have one in my 2001 Stingray - definitely an upgrade on the original. (I seem to have misplaced one of the screws but I guess you can probably use the ones in your original pickup if you're upgrading. If not, I can try to get one from my tech for you). Retails at £100. Price includes P&P.

I have a hankering for a semi-acoustic bass and have been looking at the long scale Lakland Hollowbody. (I had one of the short scale ones a while ago. I liked it, but came to the conclusion I prefer 34” scale basses). I also like the Laklands because they have nice rounded edges on the body rather than the binding that you’ll often see on semi-acoustic basses. ANYWAY, my question to anyone who has or has tried one of these: how was/is the balance? Pretty much every 34” semi-acoustic bass I’ve tried has neck dive but hoping this one may be different? And/or is there any other semi-acoustics I should be looking at? Cheers!

I just fancied a black one. Understated. 🙂

For the sake of this thread, I would say I'm VERY happy with the bass. Lovely lovely neck. Here it is with my McIntyre and my fretless Fender Precision.

Not sure a Uni Pre and battery would fit in the existing cavity under the plate. It's a PJ so there are 3 knobs and a jack socket in there just now..... That'd be my assumption anyway.
-
On that front actually, I wonder if that might be tricky with a chambered body.....
-
I’ll maybe get it done when I get him to route the body to install a John East preamp. 🙂

Cheers guys. Seems fair. Ive had Chris McIntyre (here in Edinburgh) make me scatchplates too, so that’s another option.
-
So I've managed to get a hold of a lovely Jake, courtesy of another Baaschatter, and I fancy changing the scratchplate. Anyone have any joy sourcing one? I wrote to the <info at public-peace.de> address a couple of times to ask but got no response. Is there a better email address to use? Any ideas other than just getting one custom made?

I've just converted my 2014 Fender American Special Precision to a PJ, so I swapped in a matching pair of Dimarzio pickups. As a result I now have the pickup going spare. I think it's the same pickup they used in the American Standard, and possibly still use, not sure. Great condition, sounds fantastic. As I said, I only took it out so I had a matching PJ set. Price includes P&P.
