well, i know Dan knows more about it than me...lol. Here is a crazy idea....if the finish is an issue, why not work a special deal where they will do a run of 30...UNFINISHED, and then maybe work out some kind of special pricing with someone (like Pat Wilkins) to do finishing for the people who buy them. It may raise the price to the end user slightly, but it would then be a truly custom BG5. I am just really wanting a BG5 right now...lol

That's not a bad idea, in fact it's actually quite good. Well I think it's good.
In what colour?
:hiding:

Sometime I'll get better family pics, and try to figure out how to get the flake to actually look as good as it does in person. Marty Bell did both finishes, and both are EXQUISITE!

I like that much more than the single pic of it unassembled. I still don't think I could pull it off.
Did you say you are looking for a neck with a maple board, that will look even better.

Luke.

Dude, I'm on the list. Doug got it down to the One.
 
GOT IT! yes...they all sound very different......but looking like might be nice.....the chrome is a nice touch.....Dan was going to eliminate the chrome and go all black but I guess he changed his mind because the only un-stealth (i.e. not hidden under another cover) have chrome surrounds...glad they do...they add JUST the right amount of bling....

this MAY intrest you:

Link Removed

Yep, it did, thanks.

Luke.
 
well....SORT of.....we have 4 monitor channels (a mix of floor wedges and "hot spots" which are stand mounted and rather small (read no bass response))

The drummer and I share a channel (each with our own wedge though) so we can get "sort of" what we want.....just enough of the guitarist, piano and singers to know where we are and then mostly us.....:D (well...sometimes it works out that way!)

PS - are you trying to outpost Markus and ME????? huh????? keep it up....you are doing a good job!:);)

Ah ok, that makes sense. At least you don't have to lug an amp around.

And I don't think I'll be able to outpost you two. Not for a while anyway.

Luke.
 
I agree...and I agree with your previous comment about the Lakie burst having a little more yellow...I like it just a little better...

someday I will get a 55-94 or 55-02 with a MM style pickguard...someday....on my "short" list of about 10+ Lakies I desperately need "right now"....unfortnately, the list keeps getting longer and the pocket book lighter!!!

Yeah I don't think I've seen a Lakie finish I didn't like (in photos I mean). There are some that I wouldn't have, but they are still good looking. You know what I mean?

"C'mon honey, I really need these new basses...for uh, uh...for church." :p I'm sure the economy will pull it's socks up pretty soon.

yeh - well how about the time I got my minivan caught in a ditch backing out of a friend's driveway....was about midnight after the superbowl last year....just got the van a week or two earlier....that night it snowed like 6-8 inches....cut too wide trying to avoid another car parked in his driveway and got caght in a "hidden" (well - snow covered) ditch....only 1 wheel had ANY traction and the more I tried to "rock it" the deeper it went and the more it tipped....my wife got so worried that she got out of the car with the kids (we were tipping towards the passenger side).....we tried for about a hlaf hour and then had to call AAA.....oh well....no jeep story but funny/dumb all the same.....

sorry - Lakie CHI - yeh!!!!

Haha, to both topics.

Luke.
