The GroovyPlucker Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) [attachment=47099:P1010205.JPG][attachment=47100:P1010203.JPG][attachment=47101:692395339_5PCwY_L.jp g] Time has come to move the Lakland DJ5 to another home [Sorry Dave_Bass I know this is breaking your heart]. Dave is the guy from whom I bought it from on this very forum, and was he who fitted the Nordstrand and Scratchplate, I added the Audere at a cost of around £200, inclusive of fitting. Words can't describe how beautiful this Bass is to look at, and to hold, anyone who's had one will know what I mean, only reason I'm letting it go is because it's not a Fender, and after all these years, I know now in my heart of hearts I am a Fender Man. I have this baby on ebay too, currently at £965, which is what I'm looking for it. This is a quality Bass, which is now discontinued, although a few online retailers seem to advertise their last stocks at around the £1100-1300 bracket, and this Bass is in near perfect condition. As for Trades, I want to sell this to finance my Schroeder Cabs [Am also selling my Fully Flightcased Ashdown 1x15, 2x10 Cab]. Need lightweight cabs, and ideally after 2x12, and 2x15 cabs at 8ohms, these cabs are about 800w handling, so can take one to small gigs, and deafen the singer at bigger nights [well it'll knock his EGO off course for a while, possibly]. Not really looking a 4x12, but if someone comes up with one maybe, also prefer Rhino Hide to that bleedin carpet stuff, but do want lightweight, powerful cabs. Comes with all the original parts to revert it back to Original. Edited April 19, 2010 by The GroovyPlucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-T-P Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Can you just clarify... Dave had fitted Nordstand J and P pick-ups and added a push-pull volume pot. You've added the Audere. Are both pick-ups in the bass still Nordstrands and then you still have the original two pick-ups (presumably Laklands) and the passive controls and control plate and white scratchplate. Thanks.

(I know the bass is sold, I'm just getting interested in this pickup/preamp combo) Andy[/quote] Hi, It depends what you're used to, I'm just Fender mad, and know how Active Fenders sound, and this combo don't sound like that. The Pickups are great and the Audere's fab. The one thing I would say is that it still retains the sound of the DJ5, and enhances it. You can get a lot of variety from pickup selection and toggle switching, just couldn't get that Fender bite that I love. Not sure if that answers any of you're questions, but as always, it's in the ears and fingers of the beholder. Have only ever tried Nordstrand and Seymour Duncan's as replacement pickups and have to say I couldn't find too much difference with them, as for the Audere, it's a great piece of kit, was in two minds whether to go DJretro or Audere, as both get similar reviews. Again, pickups and preamps are different in every bass and between every player, but I would try this combo again in a Jazz Bass scenario The GroovyPlucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
