NancyJohnson Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 [color=#000000]I have my Lakland Skyline DJ5 up for sale - £900 shipped. [/color] [color=#000000]It's finished in b[/color][color=#000000]lack sparkle, maple neck/rosewood board/with pearl blocks. Dunlop straplocks (I’ll supply the strap fittings at well), OHSC. Pretty much minty barring a tiny circular surface chip (c.2mm across - see last photo). The pickguard is a replacement Jeannies, great fit, no additional holes (I have the original three ply white pickguard somewhere which I'll dig out if a buyer wants it). I don't know whether the pickups are Aeros, Fralins or Lakland (if someone would care to enlighten me, I'd be please to check).[/color] [color=#000000]Soundwise, I’m obviously going to say it’s huge, aren’t I? You know these basses well enough. I used it on two of my recent recordings which you can find here: [/color][url="http://www.nancyjohnson.co.uk/"][color=#0000FF]www.nancyjohnson.co.uk[/color][/url][color=#000000] ([i]Staying In[/i] was clean/straight into the recorder and [i]The Boy Just Loves (Being a Girl) [/i]was through a Sansamp BDDI).[/color] [color=#000000]Why am I selling? Twofold. I guess primarily I’m really just not playing five stringers at all and haven't done so in some time - I moved on a Bongo 5HH a couple of months back - plus, I have my eye on a NR Gibson Thunderbird reissue due at the end of October.[/color] [color=#000000]It's a beautiful bass. Any questions, give me a shout.[/color] [color=#000000]Cheers[/color] [color=#000000]P[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewie Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have an identical bass to yours (even down to the pickguard!) and absolutely love mine - a great neck and it sounds incredible. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GroovyPlucker Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 [quote name='rapscallion' timestamp='1348759038' post='1817826'] I've been considering 5 strings for a while now... and this would be the way to do it [/quote] This was one of my first ventures into the 5 string world and i was spoilt by that awesome, beautiful, smooth neck, amongst other things, the americans sure know how to do a bass neck, mmmmmmmmmmm, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 For the uninitiated, IMHO the Aero pick-ups in these basses were/are astoundingly good. Massive output from them and cut through a band mix like nothing I've ever heard before. I doubt I'd ever let my DJ5 go unless financial ruin was imminent.
