Musicman20 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 With the Lakland DJ5, when did they start PLEK'n and change to Lakland pickups? Also, are the Aero pickups classed as better, or worse? Obviously difficult to answer....as its subjective. But which is the authentic DJ sound? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) They changed to 'pleking' fairly recently. My DJ4 has Lakland pickups and I love em'! I think the only way to get an authentic DJ sound is to get Daryll to come and play your bass. Edited November 21, 2009 by Hutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks[/quote] Lakland got the PLEK machine before November 2008 (when my Decade was plekked) but maybe not long before - I think it was referenced on their website from October 2008. The Lakland pickups were announced on [url="http://www.lakland.com/pr_lh3.htm"]October 4th 2006[/url]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Plek'd? Fret dressing machine? I thought at least some Lakkies had Lindy Fralin before Lakland pups? My BG did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 You could email Dan Lakin with any questions. He's usually very prompt and helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If you are looking to date the bass and it's a Skyline then the first two numbers of the serial (e.g. 08*******) are the year. And at least sometimes the second pair are the month.
