I take that as a compliment - my punk rock roots are showing! I was probably thinking Paul Simonon at the time, but close enough.
And Greg - Evan and I have an ongoing 3-way with JO #26 (Tracy? Stacy? Spacey? ) so she goes back to him when he's ready.
Then? I'll be Gassing for a hollowbody with CHi's and Maple Neck Decade, but we'll see what happens. Its hard to let any of them go.
awww... hopefully I didn't insult your treasured cultural background
Sid Viciuos Lakland is a pun by itselfand a heck of a sneer at punk rock altogether
I'm gonna have to get all righteous on ya, Denis. Punk gave stale old rock a much-needed kick in the rear. Sid was just a sideshow.awww... hopefully I didn't insult your treasured cultural background
you bet!
hey MrMe,
your sig:
"Under 21 #14"
needs be updated:
"Under 14. # for life"
Chrome that Shiz up! Boyeeeee!
Nooooooooooooo!!!!
Those knobs are perfect for the HB!
Sounds very good. I assume it would be ebony fingerboard? Stealth that packs a punch I reckon.

I have nothing against punk rock really. In fact, my first band was a punk rock band. My blood bro' is still playing punk - not the 70-ies style but still...
What seemed funny to me was the refined adoring attitude of Lakland co. to basses, all the scrutiny and attention to detail vs. the... you know... punk attitude
I think the very idea of getting a perfect, refined and expensive collector's item of a bass, ideal to the core, is just what punk is aimed at... no?
BTW, I've just watched a Foo Fighters vid on the A1TV channel. They do use a black/bwb/maple BG. But that isn't THE punk is it?
I'm not Phat Daddy
, but since he and I were among the few discussing this....I can honestly say w/ 100% certainty that a 6 string version of the 55-94 would be my first NEW Lakland. So far, all of my Laklands have been purchased USED for under 2K each. But for a 6er, I'd sell my Spector, a rig (or 2), some lower end basses, and maybe even one of my Laklands (it'd HURT though) to fund the purchase.
But, I'd prefer 19mm spacing, like all the other Laklands.

+1
If lakland came out with a 6 string version of the 55-94, it would be number one on my buy list. Unfortunately, because it would be a US version and would probably run $4500-$5000 retail it may take some time to be able to afford one. On the other hand, it would be cool if they came out with it in a skyline first and made it a bit more affordable for most of the bass buying public. a 66-02 if it came in around the 2K mark would be ordered by me the day it was announced.
That strategy, regardless of the reason they did it, seemed to work relatively well for the DJ.
Haha. Thanks so much for the kind words bro. I'm very happy with it. And it's nice to know that if I ever do need to sell it that I have someone willing to buy it.
