the jo is laklands version of a 60ties jazz whereas the dj is more bases on a 70ties jazz. they are both very good, its all down to personal preference. i own a usa jo osborn 5 string with fralins and bartolini preamp that is fantastic. i used to own a dj5 skyline which also was very good but it was heavy as hell so it had to go again. if you buy one make sure that you get a light one; there are some quite heavy skylines out there. sandmann

pretty cool guy. good chops and lots of songs i like. he also seems to have some humor: look at this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/DavidSinRocks#p/u/21/61jbRjmGBNU"]http://www.youtube.com/user/DavidSinRocks#p/u/21/61jbRjmGBNU[/url] sandmann

gary, i know exactly how you´re feeling but don´t sell the yamaha or the wal for a gas attack. you´ll probably regret it one day. if you don´ want to spend so much money on a vintage fender than you should consider looking for a jv or sq squier. i own 4 old fenders (´74 p, ´75 p and ´76 p and a ´75 j) and 2 squiers (´82 p and a ´84 j). i love them all. most of the gigs are done with the squiers. the are as good and as beautiful as the fenders. they also have nice mojo and are a little bit lighter than my fenders. they just have that sound that we all know and sound just right in the band. regards, sandmann

yes, i own one. fantastic amp! what would you like to know?

i know that problem, mine does the same. i think it´s a constructio bug.

interesting thread ... i own a ´76 p-bass ash/maple and put a seymour duncan antiquity in it. expecnsive but wow, very good ... sandmann

fralin, nordstrand, seymour duncan quarterpounder, .... all very good. but as far as i know cliff williams used to play a musicman stringray with ac/dc, didn´t he? though i like the tone of a good fender p even better for this style of music ... sandmann

congratulations! i am so happy that you bought that hellborg rig, since it made you sell your mesa m6 to me! i am more than pleased with this fantastic piece of equipment, i haven´t touched my db750 since i got it. sandmann

not sure if that has been mentioned before: the road-worn instruments have a nitro-finish which makes them a lot more expensive. on the pictures they look quite nice (especially the dakota red ones ...) imo. i wonder how they look and feel compared to my old and battered ´73 p. sandmann

nice jazz but that must be a mistake on the price tag ... sandmann

i think the agro-preamp is pretty much the same circuit as the distortion-channel on the ag500. sandmann

hello, this is sandmann writing, i am new to this forum. it keeps me away from doing my work at the office .... these basses are fantastic. i wouldn´t mind the 80ties look as long as you do not play in a blues band ... the only reason i sold mine was the narrow string spacing at the bridge which i couldn´t get comfortable with. otherwise the sound of these basses is incredible. regards, sandmann

hello uk-bassplayers, i am new to this forum. very interesting!!! i already aquired a used ´75 p-bass form one of your members ..... your question: i own a ´76 stingray (sn. B0xxxx). string-through design, slim neck (bullet-truss-rod), very heavy ash-body but tone to die for. i use d´addario nickels extra-long. they fit perfectly and sound very good with this bass. regards, sandmann
