DLB (Dan Lakin Basses) Coming Soon!

If you notice that when most bass and bass amp companies announce due dates for product releases they rarely meet those dates.

don't misunderstand, i'm not hating on dlb... my comment was (translation) "you haven't figured out by now these guys never (practically never) make their release dates. couple that with the often sketchy or at a minimum translated/filtered information found here and the answer is 'you'll see it when you see it'".

honestly i expect that's what munji was getting at as well, but maybe not.

Personally I could care less about how how any one feels about any of these companies.

And my statement was in agreement with the fact that it's rare that any of these companies ever make their release dates, some of us have seen over and over how these companies miss the so called release dates and people who are ready to buy move on once the release dates begin to change and never get fulfilled.

I have even brought this to companies attention, don't announce a release date until you actually have stock in the warehouse ready to ship..
 
Very few companies have product ready when announced. Big corporations like Yamaha are notorious for this. One company that did have product when announced at NAMM or where ever was Genz Benz.
 
I think this will qualify as news... Dan finally got the samples he was waiting on and is happy with the necks.

Aaaaaand....I made the payment for my JO! Fiesta Red, matching headstock.

To answer the first question, no, I don't have a delivery date.

Another new feature, Dan said that the bass will have a truss wheel adjust. Personally, that's a big plus!

I don't get why each and every builder doesn't use truss wheels.
