Congrats again Denis and Bama on his LPB DJ5, and everyone else that I may have missed :D


Jeez, are we ALL becoming Terrys?? Speaking of which, I've sent him a PM ;).


Now, (as I rub my chin w/ a "pondering" look on my face) did you guys know that Lollar made '51 P pups for 5 strings?

Just got finished playing my old Yam**a fretless 4 banger that I had HG Thor do an epoxy job on.... It was my "poor (married) man's Ped**la" :D

I was considering offering up in trade for a 44-02 in the classifieds.

Anyways, I just can't do it! Harris' work is just too GOOD, and now I hear there's an even longer wait, like 1 yr plus :crying: . As much as I LOVE my Ped**la's superior build quality, pups, everything.... the Thor coating has more sustain and swell. Don't get me wrong, I'd never POSSIBLY screw up the chemistry of my Penta by Thor-isizing it. But....

---BACK ON TOPIC---

I want to send Harris my Lakland 5er fretless neck. So, has anyone else sent him a Lakland neck? Any input from you guys who've had Lakland coat your boards?

I'm bummed as it seems I missed out on an orange finish - that was my first choice. Eh, whatever - just a reason to get another I s'pose... I need one with Chi's anyway.

I had Harris do an epoxy job on a Gary Willis GWB-1 a few years ago. His work is outstanding.

YES IT IS! Only problem is, now I have a cheap bass w/ an INCREDIBLE neck.... It has bad tuners, dinky bridge, stock so-so pups and could use a refin. It has a reversed P pup w/ a NON-typical shape, so any replacement will either need a PG to cover the route or some REAL luthier work :rollno:. It's gonna cost me a small fortune to bring the total package up to par w/ the neck.

Ah, maybe I'll just get a Lakland P/J set and see if I can fit them under the Yam**a covers, that'd be an easier/more affordable compromise, huh? Then, w/ new bridge and tuners.... BAM a LAKLAMATHOR fretless :hyper:.

Oh, just sent Harris the email... I'll be on the list to have this baby coated :hyper:.

To my ears they sound more open, but thicker too. Definitely a wider frequency range. Nice glassy top, deep lows and great midrange growl. Similar to a Darkstar but more mids.

Sounds like a good investment. I've listened to the sound clips on the Lakland website, and there is a noticeable difference, but I'd rather see for myself. I'd imagine they are hard to come by in the used market.

I think your best bet would be finding a Decade, but there was a red Skyline JO on eBay not too long ago.
