That's as close as I could get to famous
 
The fact that they're posting on a bass player's forum on a Saturday night instead of being out with, you know, women, may explain the edginess :D

Their edginess might also be explained by the stresses of time travel that they must have endured to be able to post on a Saturday night when it's only Friday.

And here's another:

Not just my bass, but actually MY BASS - I own it now. There's actually a promo pic with Duck Dunn holding it too.

Jim ......SWEET!!!! the prototype DD! Love it!!!

PS - let's see.....I think the fact that the basses are named a "Bob Glaub" and a "Darryl Jones" is fairly self- explainatory....

For a list of those who play other Laklands, check here:

Filip "Heinrich" Halucha from the Polish band Vesania (as well as Orion from Behemoth) owns a Spector Rex Brown Pro 5 string. I saw one in Guitar Satan (wanting a Spector 5 string) just like his and I had to get it! :hyper: Love it to death!!

You can see Heinrich playing it in this video:

What do you do when you find a big pile of rocks? Why, get your most black metal axe, a couple friends, and take pictures on it!! :bassist:

I also have an '83 Ibanez Destroyer bass that I got, inspired by the guitars that Dave and Adrian play in the Iron Maiden "Beast Over Hammersmith" footage :)
 
These guys:



both have Gibson RD Artists, like mine. That's quite a spectrum right there--Suicidal Tendencies to Flock of Seagulls. As George Carlin might say, somewhere between those two points the truth lies.
