dave_bass5 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Good luck selling this. My DJ5 was the best looking and playing bass ive ever owned but i could never warm to its tone. Even when i changed it to a PJ.
Laurence Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 Yh they are very nice basses! I couldn't believe that Lakland had discontinued the line as well
dave_bass5 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, one of the best looking basses in the Lakland catalogue IMO. I never really liked Jazz basses back then but i got mine because i love the look of the blocks and inlay and the matching headstock. They are coming out with a replacement though, but of course it wont be called a DJ.
Rumple Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Lovely lovely looking bass, I was on the look out for one of these in sparkly black for ages, got inpatient and spent the money on a JO5 instead recently R.
Laurence Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 These basses do seem to be a bit of a rarity, although they were mass produced......
Laurence Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 I'm also interested in trades so PM me if you have anything to offer! I'm interested in Musicman and Wal at the moment (I'm after the Mick Karn tone :wub: ) but I may be open to other offers!

Laurence Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 Have had three offers but the bass is still available!
Laurence Posted July 11, 2010 Author Posted July 11, 2010 Still available (PM me with your offers!)....
Laurence Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Bass is back up for sale! Edited July 28, 2010 by Laurence
Bassman101 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I always loved the way those musicman style bridges looked on a J bass.
