I've tried a couple things.... the MASSIVE link in my signature, the initial unveiling of the finished BG5 proto was LOG only, as well as trying to reference it in conversations here as I can..... It seems like we are creatures of habit, and we just need to WILL ourselves to post there. And on a possibly related note, it tends to run slow for me (page loading, etc.)

Yes good effort & I have tried similar, posting my Laklands for sale there first with LOG discounts, the Link Removed & such.

Love the Link Removed on your sig!

And unfortunately, the LOG runs much slower than TB for me as well. :hmm:

Hello everyone---I've been away for several months (well, not away away, just not at the site). Lovin' my Decade. For those who forget (I had to do it), a picture:

Love that one! Does that have a matching headstock? Looks like it, just not sure.

Okay I have a question for all you Lakland gurus ;)

I was watching a review on lakland.com under multimedia -video gallery - LH3 44 Demo QT

Based off that review, the 44-02 (along with the 4-94, 55-94 and 55-02) comes very close to a Fender Jazz, Precision and MM Stingray.

Has anyone done any hands-on compairisons of the different basses as demo'd in this video? How close does one of the mentioned Laklands (mainly the 44-02) really come to the "holy trinity" :cool:

I'm planning on getting a 44-02 and I'm pretty pumped that it could offer that kind of versitility.

Not sure if a 44-02 can totally cure my recent GAS for a MM Stingray SLO special though :eek:

Howdy sir - my name is Ian and I'm the LH-3 demo guy. I've posted my thoughts on this before, so I won't go on and on. But it's funny, I was just talking to Markus about this (he hipped me to your question) and I was telling him that BOTH Dan and I were nervous in making that video. Holy Trinity indeed! A lot to live up to and a lot of skepticism to hurdle . . . or at least sidestep.

And in all honesty, with VERY LITTLE knob fiddling, those vintage tones jumped out of that bass. Most surprising to me were the jazz bass sounds. Also, I found the P bass sound to be wonderful. Dan informed me that the neck pickup in the LH-3 rig is a split coil (like the stock Fender P design) housed in a single coil shell. So basically, that LH-3 neck pickup is a P pickup in disguise! :ninja:

Less compelling were the Stingray tones. In retrospect, I wish I would have taken a little more time dialing those in because I feel like we would have NAILED it. That said, it's tricky to get a slap sound that is super close with the different fingerboard wood - the Stinger was maple and the 4-94 rosewood. I think, if you really wanted to do that bright pre-EB Stingray sound, a maple board on a Lakland would be a no-brainer.

SO - hope that helps. Will the Lakland cure your gas for the Stingray? Oh geez - I don't know. But I'll bet you this - side by side, you'd go with the Lakland. If you just got the Lakland and didn't do a direct comparison, you'd pine away for the Stingray!! The grass is always greener, right?!

Awesome, thanks Ian. That was a great video review you did.

From what I saw on the video the tones were extremely close. I'll end up buying a 44-02 for sure. I like the ablility to have that versitility.

I appreciate the response,

Jeff
