If you ever come to SF we will go in reverse order...we might not have time to talk about Basses :D
We do that here all the time!


Had a great time last night. Had calzones and stouts w/ Aaron and his coworker who's also a musician (poor guy barely got a word in).

Got to see his basses, LPB definitely IS more striking in person! And, that non-ACDJ is super cool- light, small and sexy. And the Glaub neck felt great, unlike all the Fen**r P necks that have always seemed to feel too big.

We had no time for strippers and spooning though, I had to work. My dachshund was SO disappointed.
 
new thread, old pics, same stable:

I never get tired of looking at those girls....
 
I'm anxiously awaiting the pictures of the 55-01 to P5 conversion...

Update: They are still waiting on the pickup to be delivered from Nordstrand. They thought they might see it yesterday, but no dice. The LOG Style #4 pickguard (made locally) is done and I was told that it looks awesome. I having a bone nut installed while they wait for the pickup....

If the pickup comes in today, maybe I'll get it by tomorrow?
 
Welp, think I may be selling my '78 Ibanez to help fund my next Lakland purchase...

Having owned up to 7 basses at any given time in the last year and a half, I recently sold and shipped my last non-Lakland bass. So now I have 3 Lakies (JO5CS, DJ5CS and 55-0P) and an electric upright. No other brands.

I didn't do it consciously or deliberately, but I don't keep what I don't play. Nothing else feels close to the Lakies, so after a day or so, those basses would just sit. And sit.

I could have had a US Lakland built with what I've spent on shipping charges to figure this out.:spit:
 
Well my only hesitation is that it would leave me with my fretless P as my only backup for my 44-02D. That isn't really a problem per se, but does make the situation a bit more uncomfortable. And damn does that old Ibby sound gooood.

Luckily I've yet to NEED a backup for a show, but I always bring one regardless.

You know, Bartolini has been making some pretty nice, symetrical P bass pups for a while now, probly has some on stock too ;-)

I like old Ibbys!
