I agree with this. Also, Musicman, the '06 should have Aero pickups, which--from what I know--are a bit more aggressive than the Lakland pickups.
I cant access Carl's new website (damn work firewall)....so whats the story behind Carl leaving?? I am assuming it is an ammicable departure. Also, is Carl opening a repair shop or will he be building custom basses.
The LOG board has the full story. It's going to be a repair shop; he may do some custom work down the road.
ETA: It is definitely an amicable departure. In fact, Carl is still going to be working from his bench in Lakland's shop.
Here are a few more photos.
Headstock
Fretboard
Back of the headstock (note the first year use of just Crafted in and not Designed in). I removed the sticker and you can see the neck tinted with age. Now I have a small pale patch where the sticker was. I guess that will get better with time
Another body shot

Thanks, Markus. I have a tort guard from my Natural Ash JO that I sold. I'm going to put it on the Burg Mist for a while. Then I think they'll really look good together. Just wanted to get a pic of them like this first.
Wow! Gorgeous pair! I'm REALLY digging the look of that Decade SHAWTY (forgive me--my daughter is playing hip hop at the moment, it's infecting my brain!)
What's the name of that blue?
I cant access the LOG board either....it's considered a social networking site. The firewall prevents that. Oddly enough, I can access TB
I will check out the LOG on an unrestricted network after work. I am pleased to hear the split was ammicable. One more thing, is Carl's shop going to be in the city or the burbs'. I do not know if Carl is a city dweller or lives in the burbs'. I am both sad and pleased at the same time to hear about Carl. I am pleased to see him go so he can branch out and do his own thing. He is talented tech who brings a great deal to the table for Lakalnd. I am sure he will be extremely succesful on his own and I wish him the best of luck.
However, everytime I have gone to the shop my interactions with Carl have been nothing short of a positive experience. He is part of the equation that accounts for the excellent customer service rap' people rave about when rergading Lakland. For that, I am sad to see him leave. I hope Lakland finds a good replacement. I know he will still be there....but for how long??
