LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #26

[Mr Matt]

Well, I have found one and I am thinking about putting my JO5 up to try to nab it. This one is 3TB with Barts in it. Any of your have barts?

Barts in Inca, absolutely kills! Do it, 3tb w/barts can't go wrong there!

 

[Honk'n_down-low]

regardless of what you choose to do about the pickups, you wont find a better playing or more comfortable 5 string bass for the money.
check out Link Removed and pm nubs for your log #

I'll check it out - thanks!

OK...looks like the JO5 is going up in the classifieds soon!

 

[MarkusBass]

Nice dude!

Well, I posted here for advice a few weeks back and I read a bunch of other posts in the 5501 mod thread etc...

My goal was to get my first 5 String. Funds being limited and wanting a quality bass. I was look at either a MIM Fender Jazz 5 String or the Lakland 5501. I had played a friend's Lakland some time ago and was impressed with it.

So this morning - I popped in to see what was in the Classifieds and there was a 5501 with a case for really good price. So after some discussion with the owner - I decided this was going to be my intro to both the World of 5 Strings and Lakland. I am looking at adding the Nordy's to this - but only if I can't live with it stock.

Here's pic from the For Sale thread. Thanks to Terry (Buffordbass). I will naturally report back after we get acquainted.

Thanks for posting that picture. I have a Pearl White DJ5 with Rosewood board, and I've been thinking about a tort guard. Part of me really likes the white guard, but part of me wants to mix it up a bit.

i absolutely love the armstrongs, but let me know if you want to sell those, im looking for a pair for my fretless.

i have a set of lakland jazz pups and some basslines i could give you plus cash

Or maybe Terry could trade me the entire Scheff for my black/maple DS'd Skyline Glaub.

You're going to love the HB!

or that

 

[bamabass]

or that

Or someone could buy my JO5 from the classifieds and then I can get my hollowbody!

 

[denchiq]

That was you I was bidding against???

daym!

 

[bamabass]

This is the target

 

[denchiq]

Ouch! Let's hope it stayed in the family...especially at that price!

if it was a member of the fam we'll find out soon

 

[denchiq]

OK...this is one instance where I can see gold hardware.

This gonna be one barocque luthe then.

 

[GregC]

or that

Heh, just throwing that out there spur of the moment, my friend. I really should sell it outright, GAS is a terrible thing!

 

[GregC]

This is the target

Go get it, Aaron! HB's are great. One day, I'll own one.

 

[bamabass]

Im trying...JO5 has gotta go first...this thing popped up kinda fast on me and since I just got a Mesa Walkabout Scout and Extension cab...fundage is low

 

[denchiq]

... and THAT would be the wrong one to throw rocks?!?!??!?
Mr. TTB and black pickguard .....

it's TTB BWB. Nevertheless, it did occur to me that our community has much to teach young doctors about Laklandoholism, GAS, OCD... Did you notice we don't have women here? They probably are living real lives at this time

 

[denchiq]

... and I am so completely surprised that you let the profile picture stay since the 55-02 had no guard... kinda naked, as it were...

HeeHee....I mean I am not that bad...does my bass rig match...err...nevermind

My doctor says thats part of the recovery

My recovery is screwed as soon as I find a Hollowbody in 3TB

I love you guys

[bamabass]

I love you guys
