Lakland Owners Group #22

[JEDI BASS]

I think a little black and white w/ shark tooth inlays would look good on that wall Markus . And, I KNOW it would pair well w/ the Ampeg rig.

Thanks! No...it's not tube. But it is very warm and punchy!

[basspraiser]

Saw that last night and thought of Dougie right away.
He sure missed the boat on that one

SURE DID!!!!:scowl:

 

[basspraiser]

well, considering he missed a great one I'd showed him for just under $2000...

ye...ye....ye.....rub it in!!!

 

[basspraiser]

....now do I go for a hollowbody of 44-01 fretless next?

tough choice!!!! I vote fretless!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

Thanks! I must say...it sounds so sweet, thick and delicious!

nice and flamey!!! I should have looked closer at it!!!

how do the CHIs sound with the ebony?

I am also doing the Praise and Worship thing at church (that is really where my heart is musically). We do everything from Israel to Lincoln Brewster to Tomlin to The Jesus Movement stuff.

same here...right now my only gig is Sunday mornings (and Thursday evening practice)....my crazy (and sometimes un predictable) work travel schedule (and a busy family) makes anything else impossible right now....

I'll join the party. Here are my two Laklands. Both from around 1998-2000 (pre-skyline):

Serial Number 401.
494 Ash (w/flame top), rosewood.
This is the first (and as far as I know only) Lakland with a matching SUNBURST headstock. The maple neck (which you can't see in the pics) and inlays were subtly dyed amber, too, to add to the overall warmth of color on this bass. Notice this is before the output jack got moved to the side and also (right) before a logo was put on the bridge.

Serial Number BH X01 (not a production bass - my initials (BH) + X (prototype) + 01
494(fretless) Alder, ebony w/PUPLEHEART fret markers
This is an odd little beast. The body was made in the transition from the output on the front to the output on the side. It had both holes drilled. To accomodate this, instead of a blend control for the pickups, they each have their own volume. Also the toggle switch for the MM pickup is not the standard wiring (S-H-S). Instead it's S-H(series)-H(parallel), giving you varying degrees of grrrrrowl.

This is by far the thinnest neck on any Lakland I've played (and being the QC guy there for a few years, I've played hundreds) and is an absolute joy to play.

The knobs are in my shop somewhere. Last time I had this bass out, I was fixing a short in the preamp. I must've forgotten to put the knobs back on.
