LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #28

[basspraiser]

Thanks. Its nice isnt it ;-)
Its turned out well. The Black PG seems to make the sparkle black look a bit lighter, i like that look.
The tone is a bit fuller thna my P5, a bit less in the mid dept but thats great a si play through Schroeder cabs and these are quite mid heavy so this evens it out and adds a bit more low end while still having that P thump.
I was surprised about the noise as well. It wasn't there before the pup change but my knowledge about this sort of thing is very limited so i just have to go with what others say.
No idea why it does it but its definitely RF noise and not earth hum etc. Its dead quiet at home in to the PC.
I guess if i had got a proper PJ set it might not happen but i thought i would be ok. Its not a big deal putting in a humbucking Jazz though.
The noise is there with or without the neck pup, it seems to go away if i back the bridge pup off to about half, although maybe thats just me not being able to hear it.
Its mainly the neck pup i want to use so for now i can live with not having the bridge on if its too loud. It might also be better at certain venues. We only play with a Vocal PA so its not like it will be coming out of a huge PA rig, i can keep it in check.

Thanks to everyone for the great comments, makes it worth while.

Dave:

I cannot stop looking at it.....love the stealthy all black look ....and the PJ makes it even more sexy to me...

I would definitely e-mail [email protected] and see what he says....this should not be ocurring....

HAHA, yeah I like some whines occasionally and dark beers all the time

I like most any beer I cannot see through...either due to darkness or "fogginess" as I call it (i.e like Blue Moon, Fat Tire etc...)

"Our Luthier who art in Chicago...bass be to your name...your Lakie come....your CHI be done on earth as it is in Bassland...give us this Decade our daily Hollow Body and forgive us our wrong notes as we forgive those who play Fenders (and other "big name" basses)...and lead not into the wrong key, but deliver us from unwanted feedback. For thine is the LH3, the CHI-power and the rolling thunda' for ever and ever....Amen"

[fergbassplayer]

Daphne Blue is just like your old JO..it's a Fender color....I'm talking a Re-finish on an existing Lakkie

Is the Daphne Blue a Lakland? Any photos? We haven't seen that color on a Lakland yet.

Tuscaloosa and Starkville are thriving metropolises compared to my little corner of the dirt plot

Got to play a jazz gig today with the JS4 - great feeling neck!

I love this bass. Great snag!

I saw more than a few other killer basses in this thread, but I didn't want to quote them all. Great DJPJ, Dave! Try to hang on to this one for a while.

No...on the Decade.

 

[GregC]

I really dig real people BBQ foods, pulled pork samitches, ribs, gourmet burgers, marinated prawn/scallop skewers & pancetta chicken are among the family favorites.

I also am know in these parts as the soup nazi of the norhtwest.

Very nice, Matt! At some point, we should have a GTG at Bass Northwest.

I had a longtime girlfriend who was a chef. Man oh man, I didn't mind doing the dishes after her meals!

 

[GregC]

I like most of his stuff.

Hey Markus, I know of a great city for Wright fans to visit.

Oh man, that is sweet. It looks super vintage, even though it isn't. That's one of the reasons I like the Decade

 

[Royce Hayes]

Dumb question, but how's the sound of mahogany/Dark-stars? Great-looking. Looks like some of the old Gibson thunderbirds.

Ferg, I've never seen daphne blue in person (though I like it in pics), but I believe ice blue's different--a darker blue, and yet shinier.

Which bass are you thinking about refinishing, so can I give you grief?

Ouch! We may go back for the Florida/Bama game next year, though.

I've done it once, it was a few years ago. Very cool! I think there's another house in the south suburbs as well.
