Lakland Owners Group #24

[Luke.Walton]

Thanks Doug! I keep here happy without buying things I wanted the chairs!

Whoa! Did you see that? It was just my respect for you flying out the window, lol. At least you make up for it in your basses.

Luke.

 

[Luke.Walton]

Sounds like a very good looking guy!

I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that. Uh, thanks, on his behalf, haha.

Luke.

 

[Luke.Walton]

SO many comments...too many to pick!

I hope your not being dirty again Mr. Markus, we've discussed this.

Luke.

might looke like this.....

DO you guys think a Skyline Decade would take a refinish nicely? Looking at one, and wondering how a 3TB on Mahogany would look.

 

[Luke.Walton]

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

It's true, but I'm just worried about your search history lol. "gay superhero team" or something like it. Plus that gingerbread cookie, that was super suspicious.

Luke.

Wow, 34 hours in and we're over 350 posts! At this rate we'll be at #25 in less than three days....
Meanwhile, over in the Sadowsky thread, they're working really hard on Part 8...

Maybe Roger has to think about contracting Lakland to get a bit of Lakland onwners' affection.
And maybe, Sadowsky owners waste too much time playing their basses.

 

[Luke.Walton]

Luke! You animal!

Yeah, I've surprised myself, but I've learned from the best (you being one of said "best")

Luke.

 

[Luke.Walton]

I can't believe how fast this thread is going. I go play a gig, and there's like five new pages!!!!!

Pssh, stuff gigs, just talk about your basses instead of playing them, saves time.

Luke.

 

[Luke.Walton]

At this rate Luke will take the lead...and I don't nkow if he has a Lakie...YET!!!! C'mon luke....with all these posts, its time to take a plunge!!!! or if you have one....TIME TO POST SOME PICS!!!!!!

Yet is the key word. Remember, by both our countries standards I'm not even an adult, and I've got no dosh at the moment.
As soon as I get enough cash, I will take my first step onto the Lakland road. Trust me, I really want one. Maybe I can imagine really hard that I've got one....yep, it's working...
Oh man, you should see it, its a Skyline BG5 in 3TSB, with a black white black pickguard. Wow, this finish is absolutley flawless...



Luke.

 

[denchiq]

I can play decently, on a lined fretless. But for me, unlined is IMPOSSIBLE!!

really didn't feel too hard for me, but maybe I'm just overestimating my ears
I was thinking using one, very new to me bass, for a show, only dumped the idea because of the modern-ish sound (Zon Sonus 5)

 

[denchiq]

I just got a 55-02 Deluxe model with a clear pickguard. Price was astoundingly low and I'm in love. This is my first Lakland and it wont be my last.

I'm a believer!!!

awesome looks! kudos to you and to the guy who chose a clear PG to protect that beauty

 

[jmcgliss]

Did someone ask for a sunburst Decade?

 

[denchiq]

Thanks! Yeah...it does chug the petrol! But it can do it at any angle

I'm the one with googles on top. Pic from Men's Pastime magazine. Hey, I'm famous!

 

[denchiq]

Did someone ask for a sunburst Decade?

uh-uh.. that's totally wrong. The pg needs to be black )))

 

[jmcgliss]

It's gold ano, dude. And it's not "wrong".

 

[denchiq]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

yeah, I do think that, for many the looks of the chi was probly the decisive factor that repelled them from the LOG LE First Run.

 

[denchiq]

It's gold ano, dude. And it's not "wrong".

I'm kidding, man. The 3 TB Decade question appeared in connection to Aaron's affection to 3-tb basses with black pickguards, that's it.

 

[denchiq]

Oh jeez, thats exactly not what I needed to hear to keep GAS at bay. One thing I am worried about, is that I'm used to the 35" scale on my Cirrus, and when I play the Spector I feel cramped. What are the chances I could score a Lakie 4 in 35"? Actually come to think of it, I've also fallen in love with the oil finish on the neck of my Peavey, much better than any satin or gloss finish I've used, think they'd do that too?

there is a number of USA 45-94s out there, a 45-76 at Leo's, but I haven't seen any 4 string 35" Ps.
And, I do prefer the tung oil finish on mu USA 5-94 to the satin finish on my Shorelines, but the tung oil finish is not akin to that of Warwick kind of treatment. Never tried a Cirrus to compare tho.

 

[denchiq]

Not this

I am lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar though...

is that your take on "9 1/2 Weeks" or something?

 

[denchiq]

So just curious, are there any standard best passive preamps and strings for the DJ5? I'm a big fan of regular ol' dia'darrios but I thought I'd go for some opinions. What say you?

passive preamps???

well, I do know of a single instance of a passive booster in the market, but I'm not sure if you actually meant that
