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)

Very cool Gordon!

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

Not to worry Dan, I'm sure it will be all that and a bag of chips as you say. Seriously, I love my US 44-94, weight, comfort, sound, etc. Just a superb piece of bass goodness.

On another note, I just received a package from Lakland today, a complete set of black hardware, hmmm... what could that be for?

How 'bout a Silver US JS17 Silver w/Ebony Fretted with BEM Dots and possibly going to change existing PG for Matte Black PG as part of the stealthy Black hardware upgrade?

Yeah that thing is going to be beyond words...
looking forward to pics of THAT when it is completed!! YOWZA!

Wow, you did it! Good on you!

Though it was really the only option

I have to say yet again that, whereas my appreciation for skylines is uh... spotty, I do love the US Lakland magic and hope to board that boat someday.

Thanks man!!
HAD to do it...could not drool at the pics any longer..

I had 2 skylines for a short time..both were cool basses and for $$700 - 800 or so used and super clean...great bang for the buck.

But having owned both...it is night and day difference between the skylines and US laklands.
I am a big fan of the Laklands I now own...Thanking Markus for initially talking me into buying that first one...lol

+1

The Skylines are great, but the US models are much muchier

I have a question that I could not answer from the Lakland site - do they still make the 44-07? I did not see it listed anywhere but keep seeing it around here and frankly have really started a lust fest for one.
Thanks,
gab

**Mrfstop** · #**893** 11-22-2012, 09:26 AM

Well Doude , Greg or Markus might answer this best...
But from what I understand..
They were a limited run of 44-94 basses that had Chisonics in them instead of the normal pickups of that time...Which might have been barts?????

I know I own one...and Gordon owns one.
Do not know of any others that I have seen posted recently???
Gordons and mine are back to back serial numbers! Like brother 44-07's!! Very cool!

Not sure about his?
But mine has Chisonic humbuckers...
I like the chi buckers better than the singles personally.

Gab124 · #**894** 11-22-2012, 09:52 AM

Well that is unfortunate

So, do we flip a coin to see which one of you needs to sell me their 07?

JK I really like the way they look and after watching Ed Fridland review one for LOG I really started gassing.
Thanks for the info much appreciated,

hahahah
Well ya never know with me man.
I am always on the edge of doing something nuts in the name of GAS!

But I did tell myself the 44-07 was a lifer...
I think I might be REALLY hard pressed to let go of it ever.

And speaking for Gordon...I already made a play at the Mai Tai /ebony 44-07 of his several times and got nowhere fast...
I think it is safe to say his is a lifer too. lol.

But keep putting it out there..... here and on the LOG site ya want one.
I bet ya will find one before ya know it...

There must be a dozen or so of them floating around I would think?

They don't make that model anymore. Chisonic humbuckering pickups are discontinued. Dan...you need to try singles in standard J positions! And the Vintage ones are killer too!

All I had to compare is the US Decade with Chi singles VS the US 44-07 with Chi buckers...
The Chi buckers won out to my ears.

But that is clearly apple n oranges...
I mean the Decade was passive and the 44-07 active...
So it is not a fair way to judge I guess.
