Club Dark Star

[MarkusBass]

It's actually for sale in the classifieds. I've talked to him about it...he says it sounds fantastic.

Now I don't see it up there. Maybe Matt changed his mind.

There's also a Lakland Hollowbody with dual DarkStars in classifieds.
If I were a 4 string player, I'd hit either of those, but, I have enough 4 strings I don't play already

That one is giving me GAS so bad it hurts. I offered my DPLEII in trade for it but he doesn't like narrow necks. SHUCKS!!

 

[Chef]

Yeah: totally love that bass.
Not enough to buy another 4 string to gather dust though.

 

[MarkusBass]

I love it too! If I didn't already have a HB comin', I'd be all over it!

I have a DS'd Skyline HB in CAR. Took it to practice last week for the first time and it is absolutely perfect for certain songs--so thumpy and creamy-sounding with JO flats. Not goin' nowhere!

I'm really glad he's ok and producing again.

That's great news, I'm really glad to hear Fred's back in action! I have two Laklands with Dark Stars and love'em. I hope those who haven't had a chance to experience them now get the opportunity.

I hope all keeps going well with Fred, but in the meantime I've already ordered some Darkstars.

1974 Precision; pup installed on the body by Butch Ammons of Bayou Cables; came to me thru Nolabass with no neck, I slapped a nice fat maple C-neck on it.
Snarly!
I reversed the pickup from when Nola had it, and the poles now face the neck for mo-phatter-ness.

By Odin's Beard that is a beautiful P !!

just great, something else to get me Jones'n for more bass projects...

 

[Chef]

Hey, at least now with pickups actually available, you can do it!
Highly recommended.

 

[spade2you]

Keep us posted on when y'all get them.

 

[BackToTheGroove]

Thanks Brotha'!
BTW, here are some sound clips for anyone who wants to hear how it sounds. Invalid Link Removed

What or who was laying down the drum track? Skyline sounds great!

 

[BackToTheGroove]

I can make you one as long as...

The most beautiful Longhorn I've ever seen. Sorry to highjack the DS thread Chef, but a quick bump for this extraordinary bass is warranted... Cripes, just listen to this thing's sound clips! Link Removed

 

[Rodent]

That's all really great news.

This is GREAT news indeed!

I hope his absence was cause he finally finished development on the 5 string DarkStar.

still holding my breath for the day these become available

all the best,

R

'53 body in sea foam green, red tort guard, figured maple neck; 1.5" at the nut; 7.5" radius neck.

 

[edwinhurwitz]

OK, I've got a different take on this. I've now got a pair of Dark Stars that I took from my Starfire when I installed the Alembics and now I'm looking for a bass in which to install them. Any ideas?

TIA

In a Ric 4001

 

[Chef]

Wow, look at that "drill route!"
Who knew!

I bet that worked well in that bass.
