Lakland Owners Group #23

Not open for further replies.
It has been over a year and the wait will continue into September. But, I'm not complaining (anymore). Besides my to-die-for fretless, I have something else to help me out...

and yes it was "custom" order. Well, it's nothing fancy and was supposed to be a standard USDJ. One thing led to another and it has humbucking chi-sonics and a j-retro. The issue has been getting the neck done

Got pics of the new DJ????
 
My tone was soo good, my little girl was ready to jam....she told me last night that she wants a lakland. This is where she was pointing out that I was playing the wrong thing.

Too cute!
 
fix the site so i don't have to login every single time i want to go there.

OK...here we might have the same problem. If I click on a link in an email to view the latest post to a thread I sub'd to...most of the time it shows that I'm not logged in. What I have to do is hit refresh or go to the home page, and then back to the thread.

If this the same problem you are having?
 
Fretless 55-02 arrived today, and......



I still suck at fretless!!!! It's been a long time since I've owned one and actively played, so I'm sure I'll get back to where I was before, which wasn't much. I think I might send this one off too Chicago for some special care. Some of the notes pinch a bit too much in certain spots. I used to sand my previous fretless basses with a radiused block, but since this is a compound radius board, I'm afraid to mess with it.
 
Hey guys,

Im in need of a 5 banger. I have looked at EBMM SR5, Fender, Schecter, etc. and am yet to try a Lakland.

They are usually had for cheaper, or close to the above basses.

I play mostly funk, R&B, hip hop, blues, jazz, etc.

What Im wondering is, should I take a look into the 55 series, or whatever you offer up!

Im a jazz bass guy, so a thin neck is all my thing.

I know it probably sounds stupid, but I thought I would ask you guys instead of starting a new thread.

When I got my Fretless JO5 from Dennis, he had sent it in to Lakland to get leveled. When it got to me...it was AMAZING. I never should have sold it, although I needed a P more than a FL. That is why I am wanting to get another FL lakie!!!! By the way, I suck at fretless too

Sounds like you are looking for a 55-02. I just got mine and it kills! GReat active EQ for the funk/R&B thing....can do almost any tone from Jazz, to P, to Musicman that you want. Good luck in your search.
 
If your a J bass guy, I'd try the JO and DJ...but you can't go wrong with a 55 series either!
