Lakland Owners Group #23

As usual, I come to my lakland cohorts for some sound advice. I am really needing a P5, and I know that A.) I do not have the fund for a US and B.) A skyline P5 is not going to happen.....I have an opportunity to possibly trade my Glaub for a new fender P5 (in the same color..lol). I can't believe I am thinking about trading my Glaub. I love that thing, but just wish it had a low B. Am I making a mistake???? Talk some sense into me.

Skyline might happen next year and until that, there's tons of music and a bunch of Lakies you may want to hunt for

If you really really really need a P5 right now you could have a P installed into a Lakland J. The necks are the same anyway. And lately there was a burst Skyline JO5 PJ for sale in the Classifieds.
Or else, do the same to a 55-01.




P.S. and the lettar may happen to myself if no Skyline P5 appears in the market.

Im thinking i might also go this route with my DJ5 once i can afford it.

Does anyone know if i can get a Fralin P in a 5 string version? I really loved the tone my Duck Dunn had.
If i do this i will be able to sell my Fender P5 without worrying about loosing the P tone.
 
well, here are the pics with the new p/g. It's not mounted yet but I like it, I think it's a keeper.

Aaron, that is a sweet family. Your OCD makes for a great family portrait!!

Dont do it Aaron!!
1. You love the glaub and it is your only 4 banger
2. The Skyline BG WILL eventually happen and make you throw rocks at a Fender
3. You have other 5's to pacify you until the Skyline happens
4. Get a Genz 112 Neox for your baby Eden
 
Not sure, but I can tell you the Nordstrand NP5 sounds pretty killer!

Thanks. Something to look at when the time comes. I guess there are a few options out there but i really liked the Fralin tone.

Second question to anyone.
Im pretty certain i will get a Black PG from Jeannie's to go on my Black sparkle DJ5 when it arrives. Ive had Black before and while i love the overall look im not over keen on the shiny look. I see Roger can do a Matt one so my question is does anyone have one or would like to comment on Matt Vs gloss?
Im a bit worried it might show scratches more.
 
hello part 23 :O

What part did I come in on....(memory lane)

it really don't matter! just as long as you are interloping.....too bad you cannot fully partake of our lifestyle yet (for those of you in Rio Linda - I mean YOU NEED A LAKIE!!!!)

HELL TO THE YEH FOR PART 23! will have to catch up on the rest of 22 some other time....I have too many pages to check on here....
