  1. Hi,

    Which is more versatile? I really like the Delano pickups, but I like Lakland's, too. I still haven't tried the BaseX, though :crying:.

    Define "versatile", and what type of music will you most likely play on it? I haven't tried a Human Base, but I know it's hard to go wrong with a 55-02 :)
     
  3. Panda, panda, panda - You're obsessed with these Human Base's :D

    Don't worry, I may not be into them as much, but I've been having lengthy dreams and talks with Chris Stambaugh about a Glockenklang preamp and 3 Delano pups myself :D

    That's tonight, just wait till tomorrow.:rolleyes:
     
  5. Ahem, to his defense - 2 nights now :D
     
  6. It's actually been a week ;-). It's the Delano's and the body shape that's having me come back.

    I might not like it if I find another bass that sounds as good as it :atoz:

    What about build quality, the Human has great build quality like how deep the bolt-on neck goes into the body cavity, the zero fret, I guess the overall quality of fit and finish. I have played both, could have bought either, I own the Human:hyper:

    I'd say human base anyday, anytime, if lakland is the alternative.
    I have not tried the us made human base instruments though.
    The original german made ones are absolutely first rate.

  11. The only bass that gives me more GAS is the model they're working on

  17. Well, I've found my way into three people's sigs in two nights, and I'm considering ordering a bass with Delano's and a Glockenklang pre, it sounds so gooood. I feel your pain brothaman.
