Lakland Owners Group #22

[MarkusBass]

Sweet! Especially the part about Markus' Silver Surfer fretless I'll look for the photo!

I had to make a trip to Indiana today and so I went by Lakland on theway...only had a short time so - did not play much but here is my (short) update:

dropped off the fretless to be coated and Blondie to be looked over....Dan was amazed that the only damage she took was the knocked in button! He had a few meetings so he left soon after I got there...

they still have BG502 there which Leo says Dan may want to keep....BUT: there are 2 US decade 5 bangers up for grabs (1 red and 1 white)....

there is also a 3 tone US DJ which may be up for grabs....

call Leo if you want info on the above....

saw Markus' Silver Surfer fretless....OMG!!!! that is sweet (did not have time to play it - darn!)

there is a REALLY sweet (and VERY early) hand built (by Carl) 4-94 with Barts....and get this - it has a dark wooden stripe down the middle of the neck!!! a collector's item for sure! It MAY end up for sale the color is very light -either natural or maybe a very light blonde....if I was primarily a 4 banger guy I would have pursued it further...

saw Jauqo's latest (the brown deluxe with the 3 single coil CHis - MARKUS - PLEASE POST A PIC OR 2!!!).....it was there for a set up.....that is one sweet bass!!!!

saw 4 blue trans quilted bodies getting ready for final assembly - that quilted blue has got to be one of my favorite Lakland colors!!! one even had lipsticks in it!!!!

Leo said to keep an eye open on the LOG site for an updated "belm" report.....they guys spent a full day and went through every Skyline they had and identified the "Blems"...if you want an -02 or a Decade this may be the time to think a about it (I'm just sayin.....)

as I was alomst ready to leave in comes Carl and Bill Dickins.....I said hi to both and shook Mr. Dicken's hand and then they "dissapeared" for some government work (who knows??? NOT ME!!!)

that is about all....now the wait for my "repaired" basses begins!!!!

 

[MarkusBass]

Niiiiiice!!!!! changed dungeon chairs huh???

Yep! Steppin' up!

 

[MarkusBass]

oooohhhh!! I am putting up my Black n'Maple Stingray tonight...to fund something new...that 4-94 would be suhweeet!

What-cha gettin'?

 

[MarkusBass]

Yeh - I SAW that today......looks sweet! there is another one "just like it" in the blem rack...hmmmmmmm

how would that be with a P/J set up??????

Awesome of course!

 

[MarkusBass]

man, I'd love to have that DJ4 if it looks like this:

my favorite color scheme for sure.
And that BG5 sounded ridiculously good at the LOG Event... I wish my pockets were deeper, but I have something up my sleeve I think.

LOVE it on the DJ too!

One of these babies is coming my way! Can't wait to hear the Laklands through it!

Here's a Lakland through it now!

 

[HaPpYfAcE]

Leo asked me to ask you if you are going to buy anything.....he says you have asked about several....if you want one he wants to "hold" it for you...

yep, i've been asking, but still haven't gotten any updated pics or anything. i'll wait til he posts the list. i'm really considering one of the decade 5's, but not sure that i'm ready to pay what the asking price is.

that's neat, i've been considering one of those...it'd only be about half (or less) as much as the tc 210 rig i have right now, lol.

maybe it's time to sell the tc stuff. let me know what you think of that one!

That setup looks cool, Markus! I'm wondering how many watts the amp puts out at 8 ohms--Ampeg's site lists the 4-ohm rating, but the cab is 8 ohms.

8 ohms = 150 watts

Running two matching cabs would be cool and give you the 200 watts.

 

[MarkusBass]

Will do! I really stoked on the driven sound he was getting in the video. I saw it in person at NAMM, and loved the look. I liked the TC stuff too!

I like my little ampeg 12" solid-state combo, but if I were to go ampeg again, I'd do the tube thing.

 

[Brim]

Can't get over the "miniature" look! Looks kinda goofy.

Jealousy

YEp! Me too. If I were to get an Ampeg big rig, it would be tubes all the way. This little dude sounds prettt tubish for what it's worth.

But it make me look like Magilla Gorilla, so that's fun.

I don't need no sticking big rig to feel manly! Does make the package look bigger though

 

[MarkusBass]

Jealousy

I got a really good deal on it too. Sorry Panda

 

[Brim]

Here's my 500w 2x10

 

[MarkusBass]

cool man! I've go a few other more powerful rigs, like an GK MB2(500watts) and two Epifani UL112's but practicing in the living room...it's way too much. I think this little dude will be just right.

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Hey Doug,the bass was not there for a set up(I do my own set ups).

I dropped it of because I'm doing some testing on the pickups.
