Hey guys, long time since I posted here, but I loiter and enjoy the fireworks ;) Bought UK-based magazine 'Bass Magazine' and saw this on page 1. I quote: NuSonic pickup units, replicas of Hagstroms classic Bi-Sonic pickup, are being made by luthier Lawrence Born. Made entirely by hand in...

THAT is beautiful. There's something really appealing about an absolute workhorse p-bass. Precisions should be natural, black, or three-tone burst IMO. I often wondered why the Glaub isn't available as a natural Skyline bass. It would fit the 'well-built, no-nonsense, no-fuss workhorse' ethos...

Same here, 'cept mine was a Fury. Ummmm.... 1)both play Laklands 2)both started on Peaveys 3)both play in church 4)both wear shorts ... *gasp* are you my father?! BTW: hello everybody! SoundSupport lives!

I have a DJ. It does absolutely everything I could ask it to. Get one, live long and prosper. I'm probably going to get it really well shielded at some point, though. Hums like a b****. Just out of interest, it's a skyline with the serial number 08047028. Which I think means it may be the...

Hello, just checking in. Haven't spoken to you all in yonks. I come back, and what do I find? The LOG has turned into the Hollowbody Appreciation Society. But I agree that a stealth hollowbody would look AMAZING. Do it. Wear it, a sharp suit, and sunglasses, and ladies will remove their clothing...

Standard-gauge Rotosound Steel Roundwounds here. I'm a traditionalist - Darryl Jones with Rotos is the bomb!

I was playing that yesterday! BIG fan of Leonard Cohen, Roscoe Beck's an amazing bass player - you know that he arranges all Leonard's music? And for those who have never heard the song, and don't know what we're talking about, here's the best live version: You're welcome. On topic...

Oh, that's EASY. Darryl Jones/Joe Osborn/44-94: they go with everything. :D Bob Glaub/Duck Dunn: Steak and chips. But REALLY nice steak and chips (or fries, for our american cousins!). Bob Glaub with PJ config: Steak and chips, with pepper sauce. Hollowbody: Irish stew. Old-fashioned but...

Invalid Link Removed You're welcome ;) Cheers, SoundSupport

What makes me choose the Glockenklang? Three things: 1) Not as expensive as you might think. The three band is £140, I believe. 2) Never heard of anybody matching Lakland pickups with them. Aguilar, Audere and Bartolini yes, but never Glockenklang. 3) Human Base put them in their factory-spec...

Ok, Ok, I'll pitch in with my dream Lakie: It would be a 55-AJ, but with twin Chi-buckers, so it's basically a 55-07 with the jazz body shape. Then, ebony fingerboard, quartersawn maple neck. Quilted maple top, in blueburst, matching headstock (without the quilt). Abalone dot markers on the...

(Sorta) Linking in with the just-released status of the 2012 range... Piddling about on the internet, I discovered that the ESP-made Shoreline series (remember them?) still exists. Something really weird though - the Darryl Jones (which they still call the 44-75) has the modified body shape...

Thanks to my fine Lakland bass, I got #999 problems... But my pitch ain't one!!

Are you selling the Lakland with the black bridge or the original chrome?

Having reconditioned a 12000 ton ex-car ferry in my gap year (very long story), where I was a painter and carpet layer, I can assure you that there ARE paints out there that peel off in very even, very thick strips when heat is applied. That said, the heat needs to be pretty extreme - a heatgun...
