And here's a pic of my Lakland family as of today:

Picked this bad boy up! At first I was scared of the scale and width of the neck but after playing it for the first time I fell right in love with it! In other news, looks like I'm selling my Ray35 hehe.

Hey everybody, just ordered my 3rd Lakland which is a black and maple 55-02. Very excited for it to arrive! My big concern is the massive neck. The only 5 string I have is a stingray 5 and sometimes I feel cramped after playing for a while (I can't tell if it's cause it's a 5 stringer and it's...

Is the pickguard drilled on?

Cannot believe I missed this!

May be interested in that MIK, can someone remind me, does it have the reinforced graphite like in the current 55-02's?

any love for Chi Sonics on their 44-01? I'm thinking of upgrading but I'd love to see how it looks and sounds on it!

I'd probably look at it, but my goal is to give business to a Talkbasser who can build me the bass to my exact specs

May be going with GAMMA Basses with Joey, any other suggestions?

Hm you may be right, unless they just disassemble the neck from the body (at least that's what I heard)

I was more looking in the lines of fender style design, nothing too over-the-top. Just wondering if someone here does Warmoth builds or something similar

Hey thanks for responding, so how much of it do you do by yourself? Can you message me some pricing you may have?

Hi fellow Talkbassists, Its been a while since I've posted anything (mainly because I've been extremely happy with my Lakland basses), but I'm in the market again for a relatively affordable custom bass built with fender style parts. I know Dan Atkinson had built something similar to what I'm...
