LOVE this look!!
 
Hey guys, I went to The Lowend a while back. Brian is a great guy! He let me wonder in on a Saturday. Sign on door said "By Appointment Only" and he was doing some last minute soldering/wiring for the NAMM show. Anyways, he let me have run of the store and all the inventory except a couple of sold items and a gold (museum piece IMO) Ritter.

At that time, his Lakland inventory only consisted of a 55-02, a Sky Hollowbody, and a ultralight-weight black USJO4 w/ blocks n binding IIRC.

I left there GASing for a LEJ (P/J exotic topped USED 35" scale) 6er, custom jobby obviously, priced to move. And it DID move before I had fundage :crying:. He talked w/ me for quite a while about Lakland, Dan's start in the biz and history in Nashville, etc. It was fun!


As far as coming to Knoxville to see one of my gigs... Our drummer is unemployed at the moment, and may have to go back to "over-the-road" driving, or get w/ a cover or touring band to make some money. So, our next gig after today's, is an OCT 23rd show. It may be the last for a bit :hmm:, don't know what lies ahead for Third Obsession.
 
I was just checking serial numbers.

Sexual Chocolate is 11 yrs old this year. Oh, they grow up so fast :crying::bawl:...

anyways, in lieu of birthday gifts, she'd like some MTD SS 135-45s or some GC giftcards would be cool too.

Traci was either born the first year that they made 55s, 1996 or in 2000. I can't tell if the sn starts w/ a 5 or 6 :confused:.

Does anyone know if all the first year 55-94s had the jacks on the front? And/or had the smaller Bart MM pup, that's highly sought after I hear.

I'm guessing Traci's a 2000 and is 9yrs old. She likes to wear DR SS 125-45s and would like a black hipshot Lakie bridge so she'll be all color coordinated n stuff.... she's gettin a fashion sense.
 
Everyone:

I just heard from Leo that his dad had a severe heart attack the other day. if you are awaiting a response form him, it may be a while.

also, we have set up a thread at the LOG site so you can express your thoughts:

I don't understand why they can't make 30 of 'em.

I'm sure they would be sold before they made to the states...

in these tough economic times, we need 25+ downpayments and commitments to be able to "fund" such an endeavor....most companies (including Lakland and others) cannot afford the potential of having alot of stock now a days...

maybe we can get 25+ with the economy improving and a std color???
