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...

Only six posts? Maaan, I need to get back in the game. I have the same problem as Black Bart sometimes - more than once I've felt my G-string slip. (Badum-TISH) But it only happens to me around the 7th fret, and it's always been down to overexcited/sloppy technique. Annoying though. On the...

Interesting thread. Someone made the point about the Skylines being better value for money. I think so too, but they're also better value for money for Lakland! Somewhere there is an interview where the guys at Lakland revealed that due to the long manufacture time and labour costs of the US...

Every nauseating crapwood guitar, eh? Even though I now play a Lakland Darryl Jones, which is a solid Lake Placid Blue, I had a Peavey Fury for years. Lovely instrument, versatile, decent tone, looked like it was worth more than it actually cost. The lakie's a pro-grade instrument for sure, but...

Love it! Really smooth playing, lotta position changes for your left hand but you make it look easy - you clearly know your stuff! Also, LOVED the fact that as the song went on your head moved to the beat more and more - that was fun to watch! I'm the same, too. It can be quite funny in...

Tell me, does anyone know if those STUNNING flame-top 44/55-02s will be avaliable as a fretless? I've never been entirely clear on the options list for the limited edition basses...never seen a chi-sonic LE lakland either, now I come to think about it... It would require delving into the...

wow, look at that! You're a poet, and you didn't even realise. :ninja: Cheers, SoundSupport

Well, this thread is a cheerful, happy place... Just my two cents, but at a large music store here in Scotland, they stopped carrying Gibsons because EVERY SINGLE ONE had serious flaws in the finish, or their in-house luthiers had to spend too much time getting them set up properly before...

Just listened to 'Over' - really nice, atmospheric, and great bass dynamics there! You've really mastered the fretless! Hmmm...needs to be a 55-94 though, methinks! Cheers, SoundSupport

BTW, on the "harp in heaven" thing - I forgot to say - a LAKLAND harp, natch. quick google search tells me that a concert harp has 47 strings, so it would be a Lakland 4772-θ! Where 47 = number of strings, 72 = scale (concert harps are 6ft tall, can't find string length) and...

Been playing bass in church for 10 years. And I'm a theology student, so hear me when I say: KARMA AIN'T GOT NO HOME IN THIS RELIGION, BUDDY! And you can't have screwed up as badly as I did this morning: bass intro (fast 12-bar blues) to the children's song. And I forgot the tempo. And the...

Realized I've NEVER shown you guys my bass, and what with the re-release of the DJ, and the fact we haven't seen one in a while, here's a nice Lake Placid Blue 4-stringer to whet your appetites... Cheers, SoundSupport

Sie sprechen Deutsch? Ich studiere Deutsch! (Meistens spiele ich Bassgitarre, aber manchmal muss ich zur Vorlesungen gehen...schade...:ninja:) Laters, SoundSupport

This is EXACTLY how the chi-sonics were invented (in my mind)... I like to imagine this is how Carl Pedigo looks when the camera's aren't around, too...

Found a video with the sweet silver dj being played by the man himself - bass and bassist in the flesh... Darryl Jones "The Munch" promo - YouTube I have no idea what he's talking about - too distracted by the bass... markus, you know these things I think - is that inca silver? It looks...

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/lakland-w-curly-mango-spalted-maple-tops-777639/ You're welcome :)

:eek: :confused: :eek: $5,400, according to the website. :hyper: :bassist: :)

Invalid Link Removed ...But it's an amazing look, and one I'd considered for a Bob Glaub! NOYCE! (as doude would say...)

Hey peeps. It's been months, possibly years, nay decades, since I've posted on here... Just wanted to give you all a heads up: I'm playing at a church worship service out here in scotland which will be availiable online after on Uplift Radio - Positive Thinking Online RadioUplift Radio, so...

Markus? I've realised that you find drink colours inspirational, and now I know your secret. I know how you came up with Markus Orange:Link Removed

I'm now officially renaming the Cherry Sunburst colourscheme the 'Tequila Sunrise'!

Uhmmm...about to show my ignorance here, but what's Mai Tai? It suggests a type of tea, but that could be my britishness shining through... Although Teaburst does sound appropriate for that colourscheme... Anyway markus... I WANT!

Yeah, but to be fair, given the price difference, I'd kinda expect the Glockenklang to sound better! They're not really rivals, are they?! I suppose the real rival to Glockenklang is TecAmp or TC Electronics- I'm struggling to think of an american rival. (you know, for that super hi-fi...

I guess that your definition of 'vintage' is going to be personal. For me, vintage has always meant a smooth, polite sound. Something that blends in to an overall mix. For this, I'm thinking my Darryl Jones with both pickups on full, and the tone control around about a quarter to a half. For...

I quite agree. It's a tragedy, considering how many truly stunning Laklands they have. They also have some of the last new Darryl Jones skline basses out there, I think. 1300 euros, if my memory serves me correctly. And they also have a 3-tone burst US DJ as well. And a burgundy mist US JO. And...
