The last girl (and only one really :() to notice and be turned on by my finger ability, ended up spending the night w/ me. That was.... wow... 18 yrs ago LOL. I never got a ph number, or REAL age from her.

Saw her waiting for the school bus one mornin while I was on my way to college. :eek: I never drove that route again!

I think because it's so different from anything else they make. And having handled a number of them (mainly Skylines), they really are beautiful instruments with fantastic build quality.

obviously more work involved. While CNC machinery is only cutting wood in batches (of 6, I think), needing no adjustment or allocation of wood pieces really, the HB body needs more attention and handwork

he he

The last one who noticed mine is still with me. Ironically, she could've been with me like 15 years earlier. She was going to school though so it didn't happen (but if only I knew it would! :D).

There's a ninth between my thumb and pinkie (on grand piano keyboard). Who's next?

9.5 inches from tip of thumb to tip of pinkie, but what's that supposed to mean? Seriously. I can guess, of course :D.


But that chick from years ago, she was impressed by my hand ability, not size. Said she could tell a lot about a man by the way he used his hands LOL. It was a pickup line, she was in heat and I was backward and shy.... it worked haha. What a dork I was :rollno:

what's tpb?



Guys, I am totally loosing control over my GAS discharge. I currently only have money to buy one US Lakie OR two Skylines - and I foresee I won't have another chance for at least a year :crying::crying::crying:
I want a passive JO5 and a fretless 55.
I would love me a PJ5, could even sacrifice a JO, but there's yet no sign that the B3 Boomer will happen

Would love 2 US Lakies but can't have 'em... what should I do?


Answer quick or I can't be responsible for myself

yeah, ability does count... the other side is, every time she talks about how powerful and able my hands are, I suspect she's driving me to do her massage :D



although it never ends there...

me too... What I also like about them is, a Lakland 5 string set is worth $25 (although I do have to think about shipment). a GHS set is worth about $40 in this country - and it's them who make Lakland strings.
Hmmm, never thought about that - I could get Lakland strings in bulks, chip off an extra inch and sell 'em as GHS. And keep the change AND the extra inches (someone recently said they did count! ;-) )

I used to order a few packs of Lakland strings in one go a couple of years ago and i saved a fortune. Plus they are good strings.
I think the gauges of the Boomers are slightly different to the Laklands but not by much. Also the set i got werent long enough to string through body like the Lakalnds.

One thing that's bugging me is in the past the Lakland's came with a tapered B string. Anyone know if they have stopped this? Certainly the Boomers aren't tapered.
