Hello all, may I have a number? Here's my baby. USA Duck Dunn with Abalone inlays. There's a closeup of the inlays in the upper right hand portion of the picture. The photo was taken by Dan at the factory right before I picked it up!!

Cheers,

We were talking, and I told him " I really want an active skyline decade, but I really need a 5er"... and that was the answer I got.

I didn't however know that this was news to anyone besides me. Maybe it will even come in a different color.

You know you want a Markus Turd, Doude.

ALREADY to 31????? and so much good fodder on #30 to quote on yet....not the least of which is the Markus Turd (is "fodder" a nicer word???) Bass.....

It may be growing on me a LITTLE....like the blocked idea and the black headstock with the black guard (OK - coming around slowly!)...not that I would own one but....

Evan - I would be honored if you got a blonde fretless with an ebony neck....that would look awsome!!! the black ebony looks really nice with the blonde color....

Aaron - keep the DJ5 - you can always only play 4 of the strings BUT (as HAWT - and I DO mean HAWT) as that natural DJ4 is you cannot play a low B or C on it to save your live......

 

[MarkusBass]

Sounds like an all around great time! Dan is too cool!

So I down own a lakland (yet, obviously), but I went to Lakland this last week (as well as getting Gino's East with Gregc) when I went to Chicago. Let me say that if you haven't been there, you have to go. Dan was the absolute nicest guy ever. I played a ton of basses while I was there, (US decade, skyline decade with a us fretless neck, 5504, 5507, US Glaub 4 and Skyline Hollow body). Dan would just run to the back and get me whatever I asked for and let me play through whatever amp was available (ampgeg svt-vr and acoustic 360/361). I was absolutely blown away with the service he gave me, and with the quality of the basses. If money was free, I would get a bunch of stuff, but since it's not, I'm going to hold out for a skyline decade 5, which will be out late next year (according to Dan). I figure all you guys know this, but those of you who haven't been there should go if possible. It's truly worth it.

 

[MarkusBass]

Awesome, but remember who has dibs on it....IF...you ever decide to get rid of it.

But isn't it now the wrong color?

 

[MarkusBass]

That sure is a nice one...sorry Evan...BUT - you got to enjoy it for a while...better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all (and all of that Shakespearian stuff!)

But now he knows how good it is

Holy ABALONE! I had no idea they could put sex on a fretboard!

 

[MarkusBass]

Fretless decade was a mwah-machine. With a little grit it was slaying some Geezer lines through the svt-vr and 8x10. I'll post some pics tonight for those who haven't been there yet.

Chi-sonics are probably right up there with the greatest modern bass inventions (despite the fact that they sound pretty vintage). The tone is monstrous.

Considering you live way far out, I wasn't sweating it. Thanks for the thought.

Skyline decade 5 will be epic. I'm going to hole away $100 a month until then. He didn't give me a specific date, but said around December next year.

Overall, I was beyond impressed.

I agree 100% on the Chis! I bet that fretless Decade was unreal!

 

[MarkusBass]

Any of you photoshop whizzes might be able to show what that would look like as blue-translucent? Just to satisfy my own eye-lust

I can do it in a while...it's after the Markus Sparkle Turd P Bass.

I actually dig the mahogany w/ trans-red. But, I really don't care. Awesome news!!

new thread, old pics, same stable:

Love 'em dude!

Bad A$$!

 

[JEDI BASS]

You know you want a Markus Turd, Doude.

Some of us have had enough of your 5h!t already!!

 

[blendermassacre]

I'm pretty sure I saw that neck un attached to your bass. It looked sick. Gotta love abalone.

 

[blendermassacre]

here's some pics of me testing basses. We for some reason didn't get any bass building pics. I think it was because I was too excited.
