Lakland Skyline J-Sonic ...

[EssentialTension]

...in Aztec Gold

Oof! Are those chi-sonic pickups, or something?

[EssentialTension]

Yep, single coil Chisonics.

Hmm not bad. About time they did something new with the Skylines - i'm just not sure about that colour.

Each to their own, of course, but I rather like the colour ... but probably a new pickguard.

[discreet]

So different colour, different pick guard, different board and we're sorted.

[EssentialTension]

Even in that colour with that fretboard and that pickguard ... they will sell quite a few.

[Machines]

If they do a custom version with block inlays and a matching headstock it'd be a bit nicer.

That looks tasty!! I have to say I have become a Lakland convert after getting my 55-02 and I really don't need the temptation to get a 5 string Jazz. They do it with Tort pickguard as well.

Perhaps with an anodised gold scratch plate and gold hardware or is that too much of the Midas touch! 😃

That's an option on the US model but then you can have any colour finish too.

No doubt one could get a tort guard for the Skyline version if preferred.

Definitely a step too far.

[Treb]

Nice! They should make a DJ-Sonic too...

I imagine if you go US, then a DJ-Sonic would be available.

Si

[Harrythebassdawg]

does anyone know if it's possible to get hold of chi-sonic pickups in the uk?

[CameronJ]

I think there was a green Jazz body loaded with Chi Sonics on sale here not too long ago...it may still be available!

[CameronJ]

Here it is. I think it's still for sale: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/301150-sage-green-fender-bitsa-loaded-jazz-body-chi-sonics-price-dropped-again/page__fromsearch__1

Buy it, nab the pups, sell the body on unloaded?
