New Laklands... including a PJ Skyline w/blocks!

[wateroftyne]

Hi all

Just popped up on Lakland's FB page. The PJ with blocks is a beauty.

[gary mac]

Got to agree

[Raslee]

That PJ is gorgeous....hmmm, best get saving

[Sibob]

The Antique White 44-01 looks great too!

+1 - I'd have to have the blocks neck on it though

[NJE]

Oh dear, that PJ could be dangerous to the bank balance. I have been looking for a PJ Precision with a chunky neck for a while, I just hope its not a J profile neck as they have put blocks and binding on it.

Edit: just realised it is in fact a J taper neck, what a shame, too slim for me.

My favourite of the lot I think!

No 5er as PJ?
That's disappointing...

+1 on the white with maple board... sooooo nice!

To be honest, the Skylines look better than the US models...

I agree with this - I really like the DJ's too, nice they've brought back that colour combo!

The 44-64 p/j is a beauty though, isn't it?

Would love that white on a 55-02!

[krispn]

The dual J looks like the old scheff model could yield some nice tones with the pick up placement

[Jono Bolton]

I like the 44-64 US Classic. Am I the only one that doesn't like block necks? I think they look a bit tacky. IMO, of course.

Those are the "14" models though remember, they are the same as normal USA models but in a limited range of colours and no options to keep the prices down, saves about five hundred quid on the 55 14 against the 55 94 which is the USA version of the 55 02, confused yet?!

[Markolinni]

The DJ5 and the 55-02 for this table please

That DJ5 colors is one of my favorite (simple and yet perfect) jazz finishes "marks", and the 55-02 is (to me) the best alternative burst, along wth the Tobacco burst, to the 3TSB that i don't like.. its to mehh.. (my opinion).

[stingrayPete1977]

Needs a tort plate IMO?

[White Cloud]

Fantastic...I love Lakland Skyline basses. The PJ is a winner in my view.

Either that or it's a standardised version of Ben Kenneys bass

The pickup placement does look very close to the Scheff model. If you popped in a couple of Kent Armstrong lipsticks then would it be a Scheff without a preamp?

That natural DJ is the same as what was the ACDJ a few years back which was a limited run of 30. I had one and it was fitted with Chisonic pickups, sounded great but was heavy.

[leroydiamond]

I have real GAS for a USA Darryl Jones

[rungles]

Very nice!!
