Here is my 09 US Duck Dunn in metallic green. Bought from a fellow TBer mid last year.

The neck feels amazing and stable. It's a wonderful bass to play. Very even note definition and a solid fundamental.

I wasn't so fond of the original pearl pickguard so I replaced it with tort. To me the pearl guard accentuated the inlays and binding, which is fine, but it also made the green unappealing. IMO the tort guard has richened up the green and brought out the colour and detail in the neck wood. Really pleased that a simple fix has transformed the look of this bass.

Before...


After...

Well...finally, it's time. I've owned this bass for months and it has made me into a pure, straight-up Lakhead! Apparently it comes with a history: sold to me by nautipaul, who bought it from kevdel, who purchased it from original owner Hollow Man who commissioned our good man Carl Pedigo to build this 34" scale 55-94 (54-94?) in beautiful "Carribean Burst" with passive electronics. It came with standard Lakland Pickups, but I went to the factory on Berteau and Carl installed some wonderful single coil version of those pickups, and....I had him change the nut so now it sports an E-high C tuning. I've had many wonderful instruments, (and owned a 44-02, skyline JO, and a 44-94) but this is tops. There is no going to anyone else for me. This is scary to say, but I'm almost ready to sell the wonderful collection I have and just have 4 or 5 Lakies! Cheers guys! Oh, and can I get a number? Luke.

PS for those that are curious...she does have a name. "Ramona" ;-) Here's a small sample of a show we did at the Double Door in Chicago http://youtu.be/Tkjr9AC3Mmw
