I would agree....the single coils (in the J config) are like the std J's on steroids!!! the double humbuckers are like rolling thunda' (nothing like them in any other bass I have heard!).
lots o' growl from either.....
Greg - IT WAS OVER 70 HERE TODAY AS WELL!!!
Nice to see Luke and Aaron TRYING to keep up....but with Markus on his run (even with a weekend "out of commission") we cannot seem to keep up!!!
these threads make me sad that i don't have the money for another Lakie.
though i just put my F*nder on the block, so once it's gone, i'll have an all Lakland stable. it'll only be 2 basses, but it's still all Lakland!
anybody ever seen a fretless Skyline DD?
2 Lakies are better than 100 Fenders (well, in my opinion anyways!).
a fretless DD.....oooooohhhh....now THAT sounds sweet! I have seen a couple of fretless BGs but not a DD per se...I DID get a quote a while ago about defretting my DJ4 but I do not remember how much......
now that I think about it....maybe they could NOT do it due to the binding.....
Denis:
Leo sent me those pics as well......that is one HAWT HAWT HAWT bass! "Stealthy C" maybe???
Congrats again Denis and Bama on his LPB DJ5, and everyone else that I may have missed
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?
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
hmmmmm......what'cha thinkin' ?????
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"
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. 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 have had Lakland do my board with the acrylic coating and absolutely LOVE it....adds to the mwah factor in my opinion...and you can have it done in WAY less than a year!!!
I would say - "let Lakland do it!" but hey - that's just little ol' me....and what do I know???
so....Julie - a CHI'd BG in Markus Orange? now you're REALLY talking!!!! would it be a 4 or 5?????
get the blocked and bound neck while you are at it (either the RW and abalone or maple and ebony).....BTW - if you "have" to sell your BG current bass to fund this one, ALOT of us would like dibs
I know 1 or 2 DJs that have sold and a few decades and HB's but not many.....people who get them really seem to like them!!!
keep an eye open for a Decade or a newer HB....they will have CHIs....
you are right, they are a GREAT investment!
he would have a very smooshed nose.....he may have a few weeks to wait! dog-gone world market and customs!!!!
My sonic blue US short scale Decade is finished and will be in my hands by this time next week. Behold the awesomeness.
Behold the awesomeness is right!!!
is that the first "official" short scale decade????
very nice......love the color etc as well (OK Markus - the Decade (in certain colors etc) MAY be growing on me))
My 55-01 is on the way outI just don't feel comfortable at all with a 5'er. The sound is great, the fit and finish (particularly the neck) are fantastic, but it's not the bass for me. I hope to get my hands on another (4-string) Lakland soon.
good luck on your search for a Lakie 4 banger (there are several out there right now).....
Greg - IT WAS OVER 70 HERE TODAY AS WELL!!!
Nice to see Luke and Aaron TRYING to keep up....but with Markus on his run (even with a weekend "out of commission") we cannot seem to keep up!!!
I could keep up if I was inclined to, however, I feel that I should tone it down a bit until I get my non-imaginary Lakland
This is my primary work horse. I've loved the tone and feel since day one, however, I've always felt it was a little treble shy. So I ended up adding a brass nut to tighten up the attack and bring some zing to the body. I've also just recently contacted Hanson electronics to purchase a set of LH3 pickups without the pre. I hope they deliver on the "brighter - clearer tone" testimonials I've been reading for a few years now. I would just like the 55-02 to have a bit more presence in the high mid and treble frequencies in a two guitar live situation.
Finally, I'd like a Lakland Owners Group membership, where can I deposit my soul kind Sirs?
I assume by your comments that this is a BART equipped bass? the LH3 system (in my opinion) does have more highs - others will disagree but I think the Lakland pickups paired with the LH3 pre is what you really want....Denis (Denchig) used to have a bart pre with the Lakland pickups (or knew someone who did) so maybe he can comment.
my LH3 equipped 55-02 and 55-07 have plenty of high end!
as for Lakland Owners Group membership: go to: Link Removed and sign up....pure and simple!
we can't take your soul...if we did, you would not be able to play bass anymore...your first born will do...
welcome to the club!
yahoo!!!! I do find it interesting how basses find their way back to certain owners and cities....the beauty of the world wide web!!!
not to taunt you but:
the 4 string was just sold a couple of weeks ago (sorry!). the J is not really an "option" on a Skyline....but they WILL do an aftermarket conversion....best to have them do it so they can match the pickups. I had the red one done a couple of years ago....it kinda became "redundant" when the US BG5 PJ came into the house.
as for a Skyline 5-string Glaub, we have been working on Dan about that....we were trying to get a LOG special edition bass made but could not get the 30+ orders needed to do so....the economy was the driver.....
As of now, we are "on hold" and Dan said we cannot do anything "special" at this time....that MAY change in the future....but the economy would have to make a significant improvement and we would have to prove to Dan that a mass market for a SKYBG5 exisits...we think it does....
I believe there is a lake placid blue BG PJ for sale in the classified now...
take care and good luck!
peace from a fellow worship bassist!
Doug
you are right Denis!!! the CHI surrounds are kinda like a nice grille.......maybe "Bonnie and Clyde" or simply "Blackie"?
