LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #26

[MarkusBass]

I like the lower horn. It certainly looks shorter if you put a 94 against a MMSR but, as it is, somehow the guys managed to make the shape very organic. To say nothing of the higher frets access - it's perfect! Better access to the 22th fret than my former neck-through 24-fret Ibby!

I like it too. It's unusual in a good way.

Today will be a DARK day, BLACK in fact, it's in the STARs. But, that doesn't mean it will BE bAD 4 me. In fact, this day will rank EXTRA high on my greatness SCALE. It will almost be as sweet as my fifth b-day back in '76.

 

[MarkusBass]

bout time someone bought that damn thing.

Exactly! I'm proud to say I helped!

 

[MarkusBass]

I see that Lakland has removed the PDF from the website which had the pickups height onfo on it, I guess because it had DJ references in it.

Can anyone tell me what the factory pickups height is for DJ and DJ5 basses is?

Thanks.

It's back up

Kickass! I played that bass 2 or 3 different times, it's a great one and deserves to be played. It should be a very good fit for your music, too. I'm betting you'll love the DS, congrats!

What'd you get, Aaron? I like Mesa a lot, I have a Walkabout combo.

 

[DanTheMan2112]

Do the Skyline bodies ship to the U.S. already routed? I know you can get different pickups for an additional charge, but what about a 44-01 or 44-02 with a passive J-type setup?

If nobody is sure, I'll give them a call.
Thanks!

Now we have the same thing...I should have the matching extension in the not too distant future as well

Speaking of things posted on the Lakland site, any word on a DJ announcement?

 

[JEDI BASS]

Here's my current Lakland lineup (along with a non-Lakland that I was too lazy to move)...

Love that collection, especially the DJ5!

That's a Pentabuzz in the back right?

Nice! That's a great amp, with the Scout cab(s) or another cab entirely. And the combo packs a lot of punch by itself!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Awesome Jedi

Thanks. Waiting for the brown truck. Keep turning around and looking out my living rm window every time I hear a vehicle , I should still be in bed. 3.5hrs sleep won't get it. Couch feels comfy.... hmm, maybe I can nap here and leave a "knock LONG and LOUD" note on the door for the UPS guy...

I'm sympathetic to your troubles and all... but lets try and keep things on topic here, thanks.

bout time someone bought that damn thing.

I'll sell it to you if I don't bond with it.

CONGRATS! I played that at the GTG, and then I saw it the other day, and that DS takes it over the top!

Cool It'll be my first DS experience. I can't wait!!

LOL..that is funny...I am jealous

Well, it's no 3T burst ya know .

 

[JEDI BASS]

Markus was a BIG help in getting the 4-76 deal to go thru.



Thanks again my friend.


OH, UPS IS HERE

 

[Eublet]

Thanks. Waiting for the brown truck. Keep turning around and looking out my living rm window every time I hear a vehicle , .

Haha, that was me yesterday waiting on the DJ to arrive. Fortunately we had our first cool weather day on the coast yesterday, so instead of working from the home office I moved to a front bedroom and opened a window so I could hear the truck coming and not miss my doorbell, which isn't working that great.

Nice! That's a great amp, with the Scout cab(s) or another cab entirely. And the combo packs a lot of punch by itself!

Definitely! A local player here has a walkabout and it sounds great. Very warm with just the right touch of vintage without sounding muddy at all. I haven't played a Lakland through it, but I bet it's a sure winner.

They come in pre-routed. I'd say the only way to do that would be a US.
