Guest subaudio Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) OK, I'm considering selling this as I have a tour coming up and still have stuff I need and this just isn't getting used at all due to me playing double bass these days, in very good condition and includes a Warwick gig bag, would prefer you to collect, or meet halfaway within reasonable travelling distance, happy for you to try it out, I am based in Islington, central London. £750 Edited October 16, 2008 by subaudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm not a potential buyer, but I'd love to see some pictures. It would really help the sale, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I would imagine so for £750- if not, I'll take it (no joke ) I had a JO5 before and it was one of the best constructed and sounding basses I've ever had the misfortune (stupidity?) to let go. I just couldn't get on with the 35" scale sadly. Edited October 14, 2008 by Old Horse Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess things might have changed in three years though. Im tempted and live at old st but i really want to have a look at a DJ5 first so i wont commit just yet.

Bigwan Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Lakland have discontinued quite a few Skyline colours in their time. CAR was available on all skyline 44/55 models once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Have a bump for a great bass guitar. I got a blue JO5 in a 3 way exchange with Thunderthumbs and i have to say its quite possibly the best bass i have played with the Fralin PU's. Solid B, lovely neck, amazing tones, Pots that actually work smoothly up and down!, i bloody loves it! It whips my 75 reissue fender by miles! I tried a DH and yeah similar but the Fralins on the JO does it for me. A fantastic jazz bass, imo better than fender, and i shall pick up this appreciation post with the new buyer......

P-T-P Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yup, CAR was definitely an early Skyline colour, there's even a few DJ4's in CAR. I used to own a JO5 in CAR, lovely bass and one I wish I'd not let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest subaudio Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Cheers guys, it is a very sweet bass, and I'm sure one I will regret selling but it's just not getting played since I took up double bass, in fact I had forgotten that it is in candy apple red [u]sparkle[/u] finish, I have taken some pics and will post tonight.

You dont really see the sparkle in the pics but in the flesh its lovely (in a cabaret sort of way :-) I notice there seems to be a lot more JO5's around than DJ5's. Any idea's why?
