Lakland Owners Group #23

[GregC]

Here is my USA Glaub...Very traditional which is interesting since I don't normally like Tburst finishes. I am mainly a 5 string guy but I don't seem to miss it on the Glaub.
And my other Lakland

Very nice! I'm normally not a 'burst guy, either, but it just works sometimes. Actually, same goes for that buckeye top--that one looks great with the contrast of the chrome Lakland bridge.

 

[J. Crawford]

Yum.. buckeye.

 

[bamabass]

I think I remember hearing that it was refinished

I think I just died a little bit inside....that bass was the contrbuting factor to my 3TB/BWB OCD. Now I must use much strategery to find out how to get a Decade neck....

 

[blondmix3]

This is all bringing back memories. Designing a LOG bass is like herding cats!

Yeah.... I'll just go hide. Sorry for doing this to everyone. I honestly couldn't care less about the color or the pickup, I just want a black-blocked maple fiver....
Once again, sorry guys!

 

[blondmix3]

I can totally understand that. I'm very happy with my herd right now, and the LOG bass is likely to come only as a fiver (I stick to fours). What's your US Glaub look like?

I haven't posted mine yet in part 23, so...

I've said it before, but....
MAAAAAANNNNNNN, that's a hella-hot defective bass!!!!!

+1 it's minus 20%

No worries, Randy! We all have to get our GAS on 'round here, right?

Heh. Thanks, guys!

 

[buffordbass]

I already did....I was told that a decade neck would fit on a Glaub or a JO4....!

That is GREAT information.
Thank you sir.......

 

[bamabass]

That is GREAT information.
Thank you sir.......

Terry, if you DARE show up with a DECADE NECK ON A GLAUB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now would I do something like that?!?!??

 

[J. Crawford]

Hey guys,

Im just wondering, other than the body shape, what makes the DJ5 more expensive used than a JO5? I could get a steal on either, but the JO5 is about $150 cheaper.

Blocks and binding.

 

[J. Crawford]

Blocks and binding.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. Nice, my ignorance is bliss.

I'm pretty sure the bound/blocked necks on the DJ's is what makes them more expensive.

 

[GregC]

And matching headstock.

 

[J. Crawford]

And matching headstock.

And again, duh..

Hm.. whatever I get, I plan to get it refin'd in most likely Marcus Orange! Killa!

 

[Bigoo7e]

My concern with swapping out the preamp is that I love how the basses sound already, whether the LH3 colors the tone or not. I don't want to change it.

I've also thought about just putting the treble control in the cavity, and putting a PTC in it's place. I never boost treble, so I'd just set it flat, wrap it in a little foam and tuck it away inside. A PTC would be all I would need for controlling top end when I want to darken things up, especially on the fretless.

Well it's upto you, you can always get the orignal preamp back in the bass. I would consider that before going to the extreme by putting the treble knob and pot hanging inside of the control cavity. It's your bass you can do what you want with it, but if the original Lakland preamp does not have a passive tone option and has to be wired in then I wouldn't want to do that personally. I would just go with a preamp that already had that option and when you go to sell it you would give the buyer the option of which preamp they wanted in the bass before or after the sale... just my two cents.

Peace,

There you go!

 

[bassmanbigs]

The more I check out the Markus Orange the more I like it.

I'm really diggin blonemix3's Glaub in the Orange.

I think I'm getting a bad case of G.A.S. fellas.

 

[Surprise Panda!]

I'm pretty sure the bound/blocked necks on the DJ's is what makes them more expensive.

But one million times more
