peety Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 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.

Rayman Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderthumbs Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Steve, you're right....that DJ's a beaut. Well done that man! Oh, and +1 for a white pearl plate (which is what my JO had on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What model have you been offered ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
