EBS_freak Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) [size=3][b]Lakland Daryl Jones Skyline Series 5 string[/b][/size] [b]Neck[/b] :[indent]35" scale, maple neck with block inlays, white pearl matching headstock, hipshot licensed tuners[/indent][b]Body[/b] : [indent]white pearl finish, customised DJ control plate to cater for new electronics, standard Lakland hardware[/indent][b]Electronics[/b] :[indent]Bill Lawrence Pickups (not stock) and EBS Electronics (not stock)[/indent] Some guys really like this sort of stuff so I thought I would share. It's nothing out of the ordinary - it's just a really nice jazz that nails the Marcus thing spot on.

Machines Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Nice - a white pearloid pickguard and it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have seen/played this bass and its great. Considering the cost it's a match for a light of high end basses. The EBS preamp is pretty good too. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to change this eventually for a 55-02dlx natural trans I think... but it will do for now!

silverfoxnik Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Very nice! You don't often see Bill Lawrence p/ups on a Lakland; what are they like? My Roscoe Beck 5 has Bill Lawrence designed p/ups and they sound great IMO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 That's gorgeous! I'm plotting my perfect J-type for when the lottery win comes, and it's not far off that - but I fancy black blocks/binding/scratchplate against the white body/maple neck, think it'd be lovely!! Oh, and one less string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that they are the best by any means though. They kick the Nordstrands that were in it previously though... I found the Nordstrand stuff to be particularly dull sounding. These Bill Lawrence ones are very lively and go both deep and high. I originally wanted to put some barts in there but at the time, bartolini didn't make them in the required dimensions... they do now though - typical!

SkinnyMike Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thats a fantastic bass you've got there! i love white basses and this is one of the nicest IMO. I got a lakland jo5 with Lindsey fralins in it but im thinking about swapping them out for some Bartolinis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that they do them in the right size now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyMike Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nop I haven't changed them to the Barts yet. I would still love to but I just haven't got the time or money atm. Do you still have the Lakland? If so get some Barts in there and give me some sound clips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I keep saying it, white is the ultimate colour for a stage bass. You wait til you see the strap that I have order for it from the States. Its going to be bling as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
