Steff Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, Recently acquired this awesome DJ5, looks and plays absolutely amazing. Had it’s frets stoned, action is nice and low. Indonesia made. However since I’m not that keen on passive basses, I’ve dropped in a John East J-tone and a pair of Bartolini Pickups. It does sound amazing - video from last night below - and with the two shelf filters on the preamp you can open up the sound a lot, I just prefer it a bit more scooped. https://www.facebook.com/508511155/posts/10155938902881156/ However it now sounds too close to my 55-94 to justify keeping it. Only flaw I can see is a few dents at the top of the headstock (not on the paint but at the ceiling hitting end ) will try to take a photo of that too I’m looking to trade it for a 5 string Lakland precision or a Sandberg P or a Ken Taylor Basic, any other trades - try me. Price: £1000 with the John East and Bartolinis £800 with the original pickups and wiring I’m based in West London but I travel a lot so could meet. This is collection / meet only, I won’t post. Thanks Steff Now sold! Edited February 22, 2019 by Steff Sold 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Don't do it Stefan! As you know, I have a DJ5 (with an East) and, err, shall we say, 'more than one' 55-94! They have certain similarities, but they're really not the same - you need them BOTH! :-)) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
