Lakland 55-94 Color ...

I like the natural. Especially with the maple fb.

 

Blue. Looks sexy with the maple fingerboard.

 

I've got a natural, blonde fretboard, even with a plain top it's sexy.

 

HEY!!!



...you lifted those pics from my work website, didn'ja?







I'm all about the blue, I got the blue standard on our website, it's smokin' in person.

 

Gard's blue bass is, indeed, a beaut. But I gotta vote for the natural.. really shows off that top.

 

Huh, I really can't stand a maple FB, w/ a natural body... no color or contrast,,, looks bland to me... Granted, I love a natural body, but its gotta be rosewood.

HOWEVER, if you gotta go w/ a maple fb, that blue looks damn sweet, IMHO....

 

Dave -

If my baby were a deluxe (maple top), I'd agree completely. However, since it's a standard, I think it's a great choice. Like McHack said, the natural/maple is a bit ...blah...to me personally, not enough contrast. But natural/rosewood is killer.

My favorite deluxe combo for a maple is Amber/Maple....SCHWING!...just enough color to set the body off from the fingerboard, but light enough to really show off the quilt.

 

I like the natural.

 

I just got a Tobacco Sunburst 55-94 w/maple fb with a really nice quilt two days ago, but I voted for the blue of those three. I am usually a rosewood FB guy, but I decided to get something different for me.

 

Oh, no doubt. With a non-figured top, blue is clearly the best choice outta those three!

 

Natural, the other colors make that top a little crappy the sumburst on maple top laklands is a good option too.

 

Of the three above.
Blue, or Cherry Sunburst

 

Ditto, it's saweeeeeeeeeet!

I have a natural 55-94 with the maple board so which one do you think I'm going to vote for?

 

Since there was no choice for the Tealburst finish I voted for the natural finish. I am a huge fan of blue but if it is too dark, it would hide the beautiful quilt maple top. As far as the controversy over natual finish with a maple fb, on the Deluxe model Lakland, the color of the natural maple top is darker than the fb.

 

Natural would be my first choice and I have always though lakland does a great cherry burst so that would be my second choice.

 

Saw Tori Amos on TV, her (excellent, btw) bassist was playing the blue Lakland. They say the camera adds ten pounds... whatever, the blue Lakland was hot like a supermodel's @$$.

 

I can't choose...I like 'em all...

 

I hate sunburst. Blue owns them all!!~
