Pair of Lakkys

[peety]

Got my new Lakland DJ yesterday so i thought i'd post a pic along with my remaining BG

Had 2 BG's before as i had an aversion to Jazz basses due to the size of the body and weight of fender i used to have,

however this is fantastic, smaller body nice and light feeling with a neck to die for ,can't wait to throw some flats on it.

Had a play on a DJ exactly like yours today at GAK in Brighton and sounded fantastic!

I know what you mean Nik,

i have been really impressed with mine, has sort of restored my faith in Jazz basses as i have been playing precisions for a while now but i fear this may replace the BG as my main bass.

Superb gear mate.

My DJ was outstanding, I hope Ray's happy with it. I just couldn't resist another Stingray to replace it. It really doesn't get much better than Lakland IMO.

Cheers for that Russ only found out about Laklands through Basschat and have been a convert ever since my aim is to one day get a US BG in white/maple like the one on the Lakland website, if only they weren't nearly 2 grand eh.

was offered a couple of black/maple DJ's by guys on here at great prices but just didn't fancy another black one and must say it was worth the extra for the blue and i got a good deal at PMT as it happens.

I love the Lake Placid Blue, for me the best colour for a DJ. Stick a white pearl plate on it from Jeannies and your laughing.

Oh, and +1 for a white pearl plate (which is what my JO had on it).

i have had 3 now 2 Bob Glaubs and a Darryl Jones and personally i think they are far superior to Fenders IMHO, however i guess this is all down to personal taste, the build quality, playability and tone on all mine have been superb.

What model have you been offered ?
