Floyd Pepper Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Hi, Here's the bass that converted me to Lakland. It's a 2006 Lakland DJ4 in Lake Placid Blue with maple block neck, Aero pick ups and it has the J East retro installed. I bought this from OBBM last summer and enjoyed it so much that I bought another one in a Natural finish which is the one that I'm keeping. It has a white pearl finish scratchplate fitted but it will also come with the original matt white one and it comes in a GTI hardcase. Excellent condition apart from the chip on the top of the headstock which I understand was accidently done where the previous owner before OBBM dropped the lid of the hardcase on the end of it. I would prefer collection (near J13 M25) or willing to meet in a reasonable distance. £SOLD for this one.

Floyd Pepper Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 All pm's replied to. I didn't mention above but I'm not after a trade for this (unless anyone can tempt me with a Marcus Miller Jazz) Cheers, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivery is not out of the question. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Me again, how do they differ from a Fender Jazz? Is it the sound or build quality or maybe the playability? Damn it I wasn't going to buy any more bass's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the sound or build quality or maybe the playability? Damn it I wasn't going to buy any more bass's [/quote] Well this is always a subjective thing but personally, I would say that the physical aspects (a great neck and a slightly smaller, more contoured Jazz Body) make it a bass that you really want to pick up and play. As for the sound, I would say that the combination of the Aero pick ups and J east Retro preamp make this a bright sounding Jazz. I've used this in my covers band as it gives you the versatility to have a Jazz sound but you can add a little rockier edge to it when required. Others may have more A/B experience with this and other Jazz basses but all I know is that I'm still keeping my other one as my main Jazz Bass 'cause it sounds so good and it makes me play more bass. As for build quality, I've never found Lakland lacking in any area. Go on, you know it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
