AHHH DUDE!!! ****gagging here****
Did you really just post that pic in our hallowed LOG thread??
I don't know what to think of you anymore! Why.... maybe I don't know who you are anymore!!!
I was a little (OK - very) shocked as well....
Oh, so that's YOU in the pic aye? And don't flatter yourself! Doude my sneak a peak, but not me bucko!
JK Doug(hit him when he's not around--my method hehehe)
NOW WAIT A BLINKING MINUTE!!!! How did I get drawn into this?????
JJ- you and I are fellow Booty fans.......now you're throwing me under the bus?????
I think the preamp might be part of the problem-the fact that there is one, I mean. I've always seemed to get better results with passive basses. I'm a little OCD, so I prefer a "set and forget" approach. I like to run the preamp flat for the most part, but I find that my bass is too dark sounding that way. With the treble control dimed there's too much and any other setting seems like not quite enough. I love the look and playability (neck) of this bass but the sound isn't quite doing it for me.
Dan:
there are also setting inside of teh cavity where you can change the midpoints with DRAMATIC effects on teh sound.....
you can find the settings here:

try changing the midpoints and I think you might find a sound you like....
if not, maybe an active bass is not for you...
sorry for the roller coaster my friend....thoughts and prayers going your way....
Yeah! I submitted a track for the LOG CD, but I'm hoping this other one gets finished in time to replace it. MUCH groovier bassline, plus it will be a representation of the BG5 on the recording
get it done soon.....I REALLY want to hear it!!!
finalizing the cuts as we speak...wantr to get this printed before the end of the year...
Haha, thanks for the help
.I think I will give the Fralin a go. Gonna put a chrome pup covet on it too.
Ah...thanks for the support! I mean...we have orange Laklands! That's the qualifier right there!
Thanks man. Some of it is good, some of it is bad, I suppose all of it is necessary....
Sorry bro, I was tired and trying to redirect the attack LOL.
I'm ashamed of myself!
well looks like things are getting squared away with my new Lakie....just received my JO5 and (due to a manufacturing defect apparently) the truss rod was begun to creep out of the back of neck (breaking through the neck) at the headstock. It's due to oversanding at the factory. Got in contact with Kirk and they are standing behind their product and replacing the neck! The bass is '02, I'm the third owner, and they're still going to help me out! I couldn't believe it. I got to say, this kind of CS just doesn't happen anymore. I was actually expecting, and would have totally accepted, for them to say ",we'll sell you a new neck at a discounted price." I have had a very similar experience with another major bass manufacturer (who shall remain nameless, but the letters of the company might have a G and an L in it) a few years back regarding a wanky neck that was poorly manufactured. Their response was we'll "sell" you a new neck. Totally acceptable cause I bought it used and the warranty didn't transfer. No big. But Lakland definitely goes above and beyond with their product.
Lakland rocks!!! that story isn't suprising to me one bit. lakland stands behind their product like no other company.
