I typically tend to go through each bass I have with a fine tooth comb and clean them up to Factory New Condition. I'll have my work cut out for me on this one off Copper 44-94 as it is already Uber-Clean and looks to have come direct from Lakland TLC shop - there's literally nothing to do or polish.

I have a few things up my sleeve and already in the works.

(I apologize for the poor quality photos)

The lighting wasn't the best, they do compliment each other quite nicely in person.

Indeed they do!

You obviously miss a lot of the action at the LOG site.

Cannot see it...my Mcafee "site advisor" still does not like the LOG site from when it was having issues before. And blocks it.
So I maybe can Disable that or something at some point?

The 4-String neck width simply feels right to me.

Why do I crave a mint candy after viewing this?

I like it!

**Mrfstop** · #**874** 11-21-2012, 08:51 PM

Ok, well....ummmm.......
I WAS going to hold off till it arrived to share.
But I just paid it off and it ships out on Monday.
So since it IS now paid for it IS mine

So I cannot hold off till it arrives Thursday or Friday to post pics.

This is my first brandy new US Lakland purchase.
Kinda bet is will not be my last

I have had my eye on this beauty for over a year now.
I LOVELOVELOVE me some Buckeye Burl!
And had been drooling over the pics monthly on BC.

I finally decided enough was enough!
So to preserve my sanity and mental state I listed and sold two of my basses and added a bit O cash.
The result will most likely end up being my favorite bass of all time I am guessing.
Hope these 44-94's are all they are cracked up to be

Here she is
