BTW, what does this expression exactly mean: "masturbate" or "have nasty little secrets" or...?

Being open with your sexual preference for the same sex.

Being open with your sexual preference for the same sex.

And now back to basses!

 

[Luke.Walton]

And now back to basses!

Ahaha lol, +1

 

[blondmix3]

I have got to ask, why did you get rid of it?

Well, like you said, if they made it in a fiver.....

 

[blondmix3]

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

Beautiful!!!

 

[blondmix3]

What do you guys think? I think the chrome knobs add. And they have position markers so I don't loose any functionality.

Thanks Dude!

Yeah, that Decade sounds great in the mix brother! From one church musician to another - great band! (Now if we could just get your camera crew to give us more shots of the Lakland we'd pay more attention to the sermon! )

Thanks so much man! And I agree, there should be more shots of the Lakland! ~just kidding~

 

[blondmix3]

yeh well....you are in for a SURPRISE my friend...I LOVE being married to a low maintenance woman.....she shops at Target and Kohls and is happy....I actually buy more clothes than she does on an annual basis!!!

am I "weird"?????

I was just mentioning to her we have a dyslexic family...she was out raking the leaves and I was in the kitchen cooking...we have a monthly thing with church where we go to differnet houses for a meal...one house cooks the main dish, one family brings the veggie, one teh sald, one the dessert etc.....4 couples in all....it is our turn for the main dish and I was trying something new (always!!!)

she admits I am a better cook than she is but she is a better baker!

I repeat...am I "weird"?????


any other Lakie fans like to cook???? I really enjoy it...

Yes Dougie, you are weird. But not for any of the above reasons, lol. We love ya man!

Hey Guys.
Well,stage one is complete.
Got this back on Sat and took it straight off to a gig. It sounded great and im happy i went ahead with it. While its not a Fender P it has a much thicker tone and its close enough.
Ive got the bridge pup on a push pull knob to take it out of circuit when not using it and this works well.

I really love the look of it now as well. I was going for a tort PG but black looks great. The pics really dont do it justice. I found it difficult to get any decent, reflection free shots tonight.

While this was going to be the end of it i now find the bridge pup is picking up a lot of RF noise. While i didn't expect to use it i found the two pups together made a nice tone. I believe this is the norm for a single coil pup although i never noticed it before.
So i guess ill now look in to getting a humbucking pup to go in the bridge position.
Also thought about a MM pup instead but not sure i want any more routing done.

Pretty killer Dave! Great job! I've been considering doing that with Radioactive Oatmeal....

 

[blondmix3]

not "really" a sig bass....but a non-Geddy...kinda like the non-AC....

black JO..black guard...5 banger...BEM maple neck with ebony blocks and no binding...

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (although I'd probably still prefer the non-AC fiver).

 

[Surprise Panda!]

Oh...I forgot to say "Ear Muffs" for you kids! Sorry!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I dig it

 

[Surprise Panda!]

Also, has there been a statement by Lakland about Darryl Jones?

 

[JEDI BASS]

Newest addition to my good ol' Lakland collection!

The mahogany makes the 3TB look like tobacco burst, which my 55-94 has and I love.

Your Decade is just all kinds of sweet! I think I like it best of any I've seen!

I really want to join this club!
I'm GASing hard for a Decade right now.
Too bad I'm only fifteen and have no job....

At first I wanted to reply in such manner as:
- Do you have the devotion as to post 120 posts in a row all in one thread?
- Do you have the guts to catch "the Lakland cold" and skip your work as long as it takes the Big Brown (or White) Truck to finally get to your adress?
- Do you feel the strength to restrain yourself from "real" life and spend weeks drooling at the monitor?




...but then I realized you were 15 and had no job. Well, probably I better put it that way:

- Do you wish to remain 15 and have no real job for the rest of your life?

they look cool. Only the VTC (sorry! I know! ) seems different. Not the curvature of the dome, but the finish looks different too.
Now you need shiny fretboard markers. Or maybe LEDs with shiny rings - I think Alembic and Warwick do this

 

[denchiq]

Thanks for letting it slip! Its a great bass, much more punch with the CHi's than the standard SC J-bass imo.

Sorry Evan - I traded the White PG to Markus for a cool black pearloid which will get on there someday too. (Guess I only have 3 pg's for it, overstated before).

Here's a pic of the other one that's not everyone's cup of tea:

prob'ly not my choice... but a great match nevertheless!

hmmmm...here is question for my LOG buddies....I know in this market flipping houses is not a smart move for most. What about basses? I stumbled across a great deal on a black sparkle DJ4. It is in great shape, and a killer price. I do not need it since I have my non-ACDJ coming tuesday, but if the price is really that good, should I grab it and try to flip it?

well... I do


Then again, if I make the family grow, should this be considered usury?
