DLB (Dan Lakin Basses) Coming Soon!

[JAUQO III-X]

Ok who wants to come up with a name for Dan's new company.

He can't pay but you never know where it may go.

 

[jsirish]

I don't know how, but I still like DecibaL.

 

[lowendmafia]

There are a lot of colors available and Dan is looking to pre-sell the first 12. The first ones will get to chose any finish they desire.


Bodies – Poly not nitro.

Neck are finished using a gun stock oil same as Lakland USA . Necks and bodies all finished in Korea.

How do we get in on "the first 12?"

Evolution Bass

 

[fourstringbliss]

Phoenix Basses. Rising from the ashes, and all that.

There could be a PBC logo on the headstock and an inlaid

somewhere.

Lakman. I kid, I kid!

 

[HeavyJazz]

Sorry, this made me laugh.

Ha! So true... I could never figure out why the world needs so many Fender builders. I used to be a dealer and every year when the catelogs would come out I would think: "Gee, I wonder how Fender is dressing up the Jazz bass again this year...."

 

[Chef]

Are these all four sting basses?
I'm always open to another fun 5 string done well.

Jauqland?

Lakqo III-X


What do I win?

 

[sigmafloyd]

How about Lakluster?

 

[BobWestbrook]

How about "Judge Bass" (because Dan means in Hebrew "the judge")

 

[Rickett Customs]

B.C. Rich,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BC Rich was pretty much Bernardo Chavez Rico (Aka "Bernie Rico")

Great Lakin Basses. Models include the Huron, Ontario, Superior, etc.

 

[SRFSterling5]

Something simple like DL Basses. No need for a fancy or gimmicky name if the quality is there. When he does another 5 string active bass, Nordstrand pickups and a flexible preamp would do it for me. Sounds like the things he is doing on his new line are some of the things that never made it on the Skylines. My only beef about the current Skylines is the attention to detail in assembly. I had 2 55-02 and now have only 1. The one I got directly through my local dealer had issues with the neck and tuning machines that appeared to be installed by a blind guy. The one through Amazon was perfect. Plus assuming they all get set up at the Chicago factory and you get something with issues, having that Plekked card on it is meaningless. So if Dan steps it up on the QC, he'll do fine.

 

[Johnny Alien]

I think it should just be Lakin Basses or D.Lakin Basses.

 

[SJLee]

I would second on the Lakin name.

 

[Gecko 5]

I would second on the Lakin name.

+1
Or DL/DLB

 

[jsirish]

Dan has said that anything with "LAKIN" in the name is off the table...

 

[josiah goldfish]

De La Basse
DLB
Dan Lakin Bass

Glad to see Dan getting fully back out there, even though he was really never gone. I love Lakland basses and I'm in the crowd that very much appreciates the Skyline gig.

I was in for "Lakin" for the name. But I'll leave that to others. I'm not good with names.


I'm in with others for possible interest in a 5-string version. Not to start a derail, but like the 35" scale of the 55-02 but not the JO5. That's just me.
