LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #26

They both look good! ....thats the hard decision.

Can I order a Skyline with a tort plate??!

FYI...my 09 Fender Jazz is maple...

I do tend to go towards maple boards....but I didnt know what a B sounds like on a maple board? Too bright or nice n snappy?

if you already have maple, go with RW for variety....

as for tort guards, you need to order those from Roger at Jeannies pickguards....you can find him at http://home.comcast.net/~pickguards/

also, if you are a supporting LOG member (i.e. paying member at: Link Removed) you can get a nice discount...

Ebonal

Even Skylines are real ebony....no Ebonal here....

Yeah, just like you and Markus alternate between rosewood and maple for variety.

 

[E-Mac]

in Doug's defense, he does have an awesome bass with a maple board that he was trying to switch to rosewood... wait a minute

 

[G On Bass]

NICE Gus...REALLY nice....

PS - watch the mail box.....

I heard. Thanks! That's really nice of you to just GIVE me your new BG5. I can't wait to put some 'White Stripes' or 'The Doors' stickers on it!

Seriously, though. I'm stoked to have won some Bass Emporium swag! Becoming a supporting member at laklandowners.com is probably the best $26 I've ever spent!

You decide...but all the cool kids play Maple!

Still cant decide on maple or rosewood with my JO5 Skyline im about to order!

Any suggestions?????

 

[denchiq]

yes.....actually My 55-07 has the same arrangement (i.e. no seperate battery cavity)....

wish i had some spare $$$$ $1250 with a GREAT looking deluxwe top and what looks like an ebony neck...

look slike something Mattygbass may like....

They should really think about the battery compartment. The best placement would probably be in proximity of the preamp compartment, but there should be an easier clip.
The other day I was hurrying to a rehearsal and just before I left, when everything was set ready and I had only 15 minutes left, I realized the bass I was taking had a weak battery (I had been playing the other one). Man! Taking the battery out of the clip is a trick BUT unscrewing and getting the cover out of the routing on the other bass is something... and then screwing it back on...

what are the other elements tho? I think maple is sexy on natural/black pg but rosewwod is classy on burst/tort pg or black/whatever pickguard and so on...

 

[denchiq]

Just got my new pickguard from Jeannie Pickguards and installed it on my DJ4. I think it looks pretty sexy

I had to speak with Roger at Jeannies about getting the fit right and he was very helpful and provided great customer service.

perfect match! *applause*

 

[denchiq]

ROSEWOOD!!!!!

yuppp......+10000

MAPLE.

NICE Gus...REALLY nice...

how's that Doug? "REALLY nice Gus but +10000 to rosewood"?

 

[denchiq]

Yeah, just like you and Markus alternate between rosewood and maple for variety.

I thought just the same

 

[JEDI BASS]

You decide...but all the cool kids play Maple!

Haha. Maple rules!!

 

[p0werslav3]

How about maple from the 1st-->11th fret and rosewood the rest of the way. You'd be a trend setter

 

[mattygbass]

heres a rare 55-76 on ebay, right now its pretty cheap but im sure the price will rise quite a bit.

I'd consider a maple board if the body was the right color, for sure!
