Looking For My Old Bass...

ocnyup · #1 07-18-2006, 11:11 AM

Okay... don't flame me for putting this in the wrong place, I'm still fairly new here. Let me know if I am going about this the wrong way. Here's what I am looking for...

Lakland USA Joe Osborn
Tobacoo Burst
Lined Fretless (ebony)

I owned and recorded with this bass in and around 2001-2003/4. I (gulp... ugh!) sold it to pay rent. I know... I know!

Now, I am wishing I could find it again.

Did you or anyone you know buy a used Lakland fitting that description in the greater Chicagoland area within the past 5 years? Worse yet, did I sell it to you outright and now I can't remember your name?

It was the best bass I have ever owned, and I would like to know about getting it back. And yes, I know I am opening a huge can of potential worms. But... one's got to try, right?

Anyway... if this rings a bell with anyone. Feel free to contact me via the board.

Thanks.

I know all about missing a bass you used to have. At least yours probably still exists. Mine was destroyed by American Airlines. It was over twenty years ago and I'm still bitter.

Well...I'm less bitter than I was. I don't actually plan the death of any particular baggage handlers anymore. But back in the day I HATED them. HATEDHATEDHATEDhatedhated them...with flames in my face...and and roaring screaming hatred where I sharpen pointy things and and and... *pant pant pant*

I'm better now.

I remembered that, but only because of this reference:

http://stripteasecomic.com/d/20060224.html

I've only recently gotten into webcomics. This is from one of my faves. I like 'Something*Positive' and 'El Goonish Shive' the best, but 'Striptease' and 'Devil's Panties' are both pretty funny.

I keep looking for my favorite 'Devil's Panties' to put up at work, although I'll probably have to hide the name to not freak anyone out. The main character was getting sick for a few days. I think it turned out to be Chicken Pox. But her friend or roomate or whatever, drops by the apartment and noticed the Grim Reaper lounging on the couch, reading People magazine. So she says "Dammit Jen. Go to the doctor.' ANd the Grim Reaper says "No it's okay. I'm just here the goldfish."
