LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #26

[JimB52]

Nice! And, that's the first time I've ever seen a manual.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I've got an earlier one than the eBay bass, and it didn't come with a manual.

 

[JEDI BASS]

Thanks but i cant find them listed on the GHS website. Are these custom strings?

I think I bought like 3 sets at once from a retailer a while back, and never used them... 5 string sets I believe. Should I check and possibly sell em??


Related note: I finally found my box o strings the other day PHEEEWWW, I was sweatin!!!! I've got like 3 sets of MTD SS 5ers, some DR Loriders 5ers, the GHS sets, who knows what else.... I thought I'd never find it after the move. Happy now .

Glad you found them.
I only got the Boomers because Lakland are out of stock for the medium nicks and i needed something quick.
Saying that im going to stick with D'addario XLs for a while. Im actually using a .105 off my HW1 Jazz mixed in with the Boomers at the moment. I just didnt like the .100 Boomer and it was rattling a bit.

who's got a b/m JO5 to put in my hands?

there's one on tpb, but it's 11lbs!! they're having a sale now, too, so it would be a great price. i'm still torn between a JO5 and a black DJ5.

I swore I saw one at the factory a week or two ago in Leo's B-stock rack....

 

[blondmix3]

BTW, the Richmond VA GC store has a really nice used natural JO5 for $649. Didn't really get a chance to play it (it was just me and Stuart, and it's hard to play one handed), but it looked to be in really good shape....

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. I never drove that route again!

So many replies...too many to pick!

 

[3toes]

Was playin some Beatles tunes last night and couldn't help but think... I really wish I had a Hollowbody to play these on

 

[MarkusBass]

Wow...you ARE gassin'!

 

[3toes]

Wow...you ARE gassin'!

Seriously, listen to Dear Prudence and tell me that song wouldn't sound awesome played on the HB

 

[G On Bass]

Seriously, listen to Dear Prudence and tell me that song wouldn't sound awesome played on the HB

Not to mention "The Ballad of John and Yoko"...

Geez, come on!! I used the hole can of worms when I baited that hook, and NUTTIN??? REALLY?? I'm disappointed Markus! :scowl:

 

[JEDI BASS]

Leo says that Carl's parents are ill, so let's keep em in our prayers, send em positive energy, etc.

Didn't the "Dora the Explorer" sneakers tip you off?

Saw her waiting for the school bus one mornin

Was it a short bus?

notice and be turned on by my finger ability

And she didn't think nose picking was gross?

Damn...that sucks...positive energy headed that way!

 

[GregC]

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
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

My suggestion, Dennis: US JO5. What a great jazz bass, you'll love it.

 

[GregC]

what discount?

Get on TPB's email list, Matty. They run sales with discount codes all the time, and you usually get 10-20% off.

Yes on both, no doubt. The HB would be great at capturing the Hofner's deep "bounce", I think.

Oh gosh. Both, wow. I'll keep them in my prayers.
