Lakland Owners Group #60

[Mrfstop]

Thanks Gary.
It was a toss up...
Try something new?
Like the DR Sunbeams or Fatbeams?
Or go with what I already like...the DR nickle Low Riders.

Since the price was so cheap, I dove into something new.
Time will tell how long they stay on the bass...hahaha

Not sure what they're going to be like on a Lakland, but then again, I like Cobalts on my Lakland P-bass, so what do I know? really?

That's the worst, waiting for a new toy to arrive. I just got mine yesterday and I couldn't even find time to play it with the work I had to get done! Awful

Okay, I'm in.

I finally got to put the JO through one of my rigs and WOW! The stacked knob setup gives a jazz bass a totally different level of control. I can't find anything bad about this bass. The only thing that needed adjusting was the truss and it took a slight tweak. The intonation was perfect out of the box. It complimented my Duck Dunn and 44-02's so well. I think I finally have all of my tonal ranges covered. I'm totally satisfied.

yep bills take priority over toys ( basses ) ....so work comes first and playing comes in between it all...
But at least they are there when ya CAN make the time

[Mrfstop]

Ordered these to slap on the new buckeye burl 44-94 when it arrives Friday

Been wanting to try these out....
They were cheap! Only $22.00 shipped on ebay... from a place I buy from. Nice price!
Has anyone used these before? They sound interesting from the description DR hands out.

I am using these on my DJ4 at the moment. Lots of "steel string grind" punch and very easy to make em' bark. I like them. Very modern sounding.

A lot like Marcus Miller sounds actually... ahem...

I am waiting for someone.....anyone in this group to develop a bad gambling,drug,women,alcohol problem and be forced to fire sale something wonderous at a price that I can afford.. Pick a vice, any vice, other than collecting Laklands.

MarkusBass, that sir, is taunting !

Mrs Zoomie is out of town. Rehearsal cancelled last night as one of the guys is sicker than a dog. Decided to wag my butt solo with the pooch. Didn't want to fire up the B-15N and the only cab I had at the house was this little 210.

I just can't cough up my fur ball on the tort. It has to go.

Thanks dude!

I mean whatever was on the bongo BFR was on there when it came to me...felt pretty good the way it was so I left them on it...I know they were pretty much as new and not played.

I never tried these MarCus Miller strings before...

Ha! Yeah...I like them too!

Thanks.......
Most of my basses have Nickles on them, so this might be a nice change of pace on the 44-94.
I like punch and bark in a bass...lol

Quick question... did Lakland ever in the past have a special run of 55-02 with 17.5mm spacing? I know that Ernieball has made rare Stingrays with Sterling necks but they have never made a 19mm.

I'd LOVE a Lakland in 17.5mm spacing

[MarkusBass]

I'm not 100% positive they didn't, but I'm 99.2587%.

As of a few moments ago*, the elusive Chi-Sonic (CS, in both single coil and humbucking configurations) Pickup upgrade options are still listed on the Lakland website:

I don't recall them ever being listed as 44-07 or 55-07 with their separate page on the Lakland site, though I may be mistaking with that detail.

*Note - Subject to change soon...

I've tried a Stringray 5. I have big hands, I think I'd have to shave down my fingers for that one.
