Musicman20 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) So....Im thinking JO5...now the rosewood/maple debate! I personally think the maple looks a tiny bit better....ive no idea if it has any massive effect on the tone with a low B etc. Pics: [url="http://www.doctorbass.net/imagftp/Lakland-JO5-3TSRW.jpg"]http://www.doctorbass.net/imagftp/Lakland-JO5-3TSRW.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.doctorbass.net/imagftp/Lakland-JO5-3TSMaple.jpg"]http://www.doctorbass.net/imagftp/Lakland-JO5-3TSMaple.jpg[/url] Edited September 30, 2009 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well guys, I’ve taken the plunge! Just ordered a new Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn 5, in 3 Tone Sunburst with a rosewood board. It comes with the Aged White plate, and I’ve also ordered a spare Tort plate to make the rosewood look even nicer. After many emails, and some excellent customer service, Dan @ Lakland has reserved me their lowest weight JO5 in that spec. I have to say, their responses are so quick, and they answer anything! I’ve gone through the Bass Merchant once again, and Darren has been extremely patient and helpful with my masses of emails! Also, to top it off, I have a new Aguilar Tone Hammer coming through the post. The pre-amp, brilliant dirt and fantastic DI will give me everything I need, and will add that little ‘ummmph’ to my passive basses if they need it. GAS for basses? Not anymore, apart from possibly selling my MIJ P Bass and getting another USA P 08/09 in Olympic white/tort guard/rosewood board. I am still after the Shuttle 9.0…definitely. Then Im done!

How long till the JO5 arrives..?[/quote] Probably looking at a fair wait....just builds the excitement The shipment to the UK is in 3-4 weeks, then shipping, then checking it over, getting it to BM, then me picking it up. Probably heading into December...but then its like an early Xmas present I'll get some pics up when it arrives. I received my Aguilar Tone Hammer on Friday....brilliant bit of kit. I figured thats best for me instead of an onboard, plus I really like using DI's at gigs were the bass cabs are hopeless.
