Hi, apologies if this isn't the best place on the forum to post this.  I'm keen to spread the word that a couple of my basses were stolen.  I believed they were in long term storage after Covid abruptly stopped the tour I was working on, but they've never resurfaced.

If you come across these anywhere (shops, reverb, eBay, here etc) I would be grateful if you could let me know any more information: (pics attached)

Fender USA Marcus Miller V - Serial US11044594

Fender Squier Jazz V   - Serial ICS13109068

I used them on the tour for the show Thriller Live.  Long story, but we (company and me) believed they'd been lost in amongst multiple long term storage sites after Covid shut down the tour and west end production in March 2020. After a long methodical process going through all the possible shipping containers, 2 years later, we are now at a loss and believe these instruments were stolen at some point in the last 2-3 years.

Would love to be reunited with them some day.

Regards,

Johnny

PS - also missing: a pedal board with Microsynth, EBS octave, chorus and TU-3 tuner 😞

Some info on the pickups  ?

I believe they were custom made for Overwater in 2005 when I commissioned the build (possibly by John East).  If you're interested I could contact Chris May and find out from their order records. 🙂

I promise as soon as anyone tries it, it's gone! 

Still available! 😀

Yep - me too..

Mine had a lovely neck on it as I recall and sounded just like a Jazz bass should.. Looked the business too, just like this one! 

Anyway, that's enough of my reminiscing..

Thanks! Yeah, incredible bass. Have accumulated too many 5 strings so need to sell this but it's such fun to play and record with.

Excellent condition Lakland DJ5 in Lake Placid Blue.  Bought in 2016 from Stompbox in North London and gigged pretty rarely.  Mainly recorded, hence excellent condition, (one small nick on the headstock).

NB - I kept this bass passive, did not install any preamps etc, stock pickups.  Sounds amazing! 

£900 plus postage.

Specs:

"The Skyline Series Darryl Jones Signature Model DJ-5 features the same “updated classic” tone as our DJ-4, but is combined with the legendary Lakland 35” scale – the reason all Lakland 5s have such fabulous bottom tone. When you talk about clarity, tautness and tone in regards to the low B, you’re talking about our passion! Graphite reinforcement bars are added for tonal stability and the dual vintage voiced single coil Lakland pickups are hand fabricated and wound with exact tolerances in our Chicago shop.

Looks, ergonomics, playability, and that big bottom tone make this one of Lakland’s most popular and longstanding models."
