To be fair, we haven’t seen the DJ5 in question to pass judgment on it Si

Yeah, this really has nothing to do with Lakland quality in my eyes, just someone’s preference with how the natural wood looks,which is fine of course. That said, I reckon this is something that Lakland themselves would sell as ‘B-stock’, wonder why GuitarGuitar didn’t mark it down?! In any case, looks like it’s been sorted, although I’d much rather have a Lakkie than a Fender, my DJ5 is REALLY good! Si

Looks like that Blazer has had a rough paint job though, headstock has lost the decal as a result. Think the J pickup might also be wonky?! Could just be the photo angle. Si

?? Si

I've got my hands on an OC-5, so I'll be doing a bass comparison with my OC-2's asap Si

Incorrect 😂 Si

Keep it exactly how it is. And then order a custom from someone like Moollon, Olinto or Limelight to address your want for a Sea Foam over Sunburst curiosity. Simples Si

Unless Paul has swapped his out (I doubt it), the pickups will likely be the stock Lundgren/Stenback single coils. Si

Definitely Lakland all the way, they make excellent basses, even the Skylines. I have a Skyline DJ5, a US custom 44-94 and if I could buy back my old Skyline 55-01, I would! Si

Decided to take a little family shot. There’s another ‘project’ Precision that needs to be added to this when it’s finished, soon hopefully, waiting on tuners. Anyway, L-R: 70’s Camel Journey 2020 Moollon P Classic IV 1971 Fender Precision Si

Can't wait to see this one finished! Si

I was having a severe GAS attack for one of these the other night! I think I’m over it.....I think. They’re crap right? 😅 Si

No plans on that front, although never say never Lol Si

So last week saw a bit of an unplanned flurry of bass purchases, well....two Firstly a 70'a MIJ Camel Journey Bass from @MoJo. Very cool, trans-white/blonde finish, maple rock machine. DiMarzio Model P (which I've always liked). Effectively just another Precision for my arsenal: Secondly, on Saturday I picked up Lakland Skyline DJ5 from The Gallery. I wanted another 5 string, and regretted selling my Lakland 55-01 a year or so ago. So with my Elrick covering the active 5 string duties, and remembering that I loved the Skyline DJ4 when I had it briefly a couple of years ago, plumped for this. Colour is Pearl White, which is actually another little tip-of-the-hat to my first ever bass, an Encore Precision, also in Pearl White: And that's me done for at least 6 months........I think Si

I had a set of White Gold Tapes on my Lakland 55-01 when I had it, absolutely loved them! Really loved the tension actually, didn’t sound brilliant acoustically (like that matters), but live/recorded tone was brilliant. Si

Ok....after shifting some stuff around that I’ve wanted to sell (and buy of course), I’m in for the next 6 months haha. Basically I’ve said that I won’t buy any basses or amps until AT LEAST April 2021. I’ve no intention of buying pedals, but might buy a DIY kit. Wish me luck lol Si

Thanks, but I’m not really taking on anything other than personal projects at the mo 😊 Si

Poop, would have been way more fun as a momentary thing. Oh well Si

Is the sub-only footswitch latching or momentary? Si

Brilliant, thanks for your help. Yeah I’m fine rewiring the 3PDT in whatever config (there’s a few variations it seems), it was just making sure I had the PCB going to the right places ☺️. Cheers Si

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, from tracing the PCB, I think I’ve discerned the following: Grey (input?) -> 22nf -> 10k - 470k etc White (ground?)-> 10uf cap -> 22k res & IC Black (output?)-> vol pot middle lug -> other lugs going to IC & diodes etc The input cap value threw me a bit as it’s a different value to that schem (10nf), this cap is a 2A223J, so pretty sure it’s 22nf Any further thoughts @paul_5 ? Cheers Si
