Put black beauties on the 4-94 fretless. Much more to my liking, but I think I need to put some bow into the neck...it's almost completely flat when I "fret" 1st fret and 12 and push down on 7. A little less relief (or more, not sure what the term is), drop the saddles a bit and it will be killer with new strings.
 
Hey guys,

It's been a while; but... a few months ago I was in the studio recording with my decade and chi-sonic DJ...

a few tunes are up at: myspace.com/oneaccordncu

It'd be cool to get a few bass players' take on the tracks/tones/etc. This is a first for me, so I'm open to any critique you have.

As far as the bass breakdown:

What Are You Waiting For: Decade
All I Have: DJ
Sing To You: Decade
Thin Place: Fender MIJ 62 RI
Sweet Sufficiency: DJ
More Than I Hoped For: Decade... I think.

Everything was recorded direct through my REDDI.

:D
 
I have a very special Lakland 55-94 that was built by Ed Reynolds whom from what I have read is one of the best Luthier's in the business and one of Lakland's top consultant's. It is signed and dated 2006 by him on the inside backplate of the control cavity. Alder Body with Matching Headstock, Daphine Blue Nitro Finish including the back of the Neck, Bartolini Pickups and Preamp. I just put the Black Abalone screwless Pickguard on it which looks pretty cool. I was initially going to put a White or Vintage White Pearl Pickguard on it. What do you guys think? It sounds and plays fantastic. I am new to the forum and this is my first post. Hopefully I will learn more as I go.

Great music bro! Adding your myspace page to favorites. :)

Wow, very nice! Congrats on picking that one up. Ed Reynolds is, by all accounts, excellent. He refretted the Fender '57 reissue Precision I later bought, and it plays like a dream. Carl Pedigo, Lakland's head luthier, has seen and admired the fretwork of the bass--Ed is definitely one of his big influences. Oh, and welcome to TB!:)

Looks great!

Thanks so much. I talked with ED and he told me he built 2 of these Basses. One Daphine Blue (the one I have) and one Seafoam Green. It's definitely unique. The Nitro finish is a nice touch. I put the Black Abalone PG on it which has some blue & grey in it that looks cool. Do you think a White or Vintage White Pearl would look better? I need some opinions. If anyone knows more about this let me know. It's definitely a fantastic Bass. I'm just leaning how to post and reply.
