LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #41

[Johnny Alien]

I had an AC & was told the blocks were plastic.

Nice! Honestly at that price point plastic is very nice. Look at the price of the Geddy Lee and that has painted blocks.

 

[MarkusBass]

Thank you!

You got it!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Nice! Honestly at that price point plastic is very nice. Look at the price of the Geddy Lee and that has painted blocks.

Yeah, good point. I remember buying my used DJ5 off eBay for $1000. Of course, it was bought by a guitarist and in unused condition, but still. A new limited edition Lakland for 1K is one heck of a deal!

 

[basspraiser]

I know I know.....but I HAD to....you understand!!!

I cannot wait to hear the CD!!!

I knew you were going to say that! I bought a lotto ticket this week because that's the only way a new bass is going to happen this year... unless I can find an extra grand and something second-hand at some point...

Any other year, the upcoming week's worth of St-Pat's gigs would put me in bass buying land, but this year we've got that CD to pay for...

 

[basspraiser]

Hotness does not have to be "new"......

nice to see the pair.....

BTW - I agree with you on the fretless....hard to put down.

I haven't posted pics lately, even though they are not new

 

[basspraiser]

Called Carl today, wanting to talk details but no answer.

Certainly .


Only during the day, except when I'm shipping basses off like today.... or waiting on UPS to deliver LOL.

1) let me know....MAY be in there on Saturday...will ask if I am there.

2) will see what I can do.

3) what'cha shipping where????

 

[basspraiser]

soo......Shadowfax is coming your way??? sweet!

what happened to the 2 new ones you ordered???? or was that all a dream?

That is a tough one. When I get my neck back, I will have to spend some time with it. I think EVERYONE should have a nice passive P in the arsenal. The question is, will having that P (which is going to be a skyline version of Ivy) going to trump some of the other gas that I have...like say, maybe Shadowfax......hmmmmmmm

 

[basspraiser]

ahh......they will be plastic.....guess the editor did not catch that one...

Hey!!!!

Did every-LOGer get the email about 'em, the one that said the maple fretboard will have ebony blocks?

Is this right?. Cause if that's correct, then it sways me BIG TIME toward snagging one!! I figured they'd have black plastic blocks or something....


EDIT: I should say that I trust John's email info, I'm just in shock kinda because ebony blocked maple is awesome IMO, far classier than black plastic. And what a bargain!!!

 

[basspraiser]

nope.....inlaid plastic....not painted.....the LOG bass will be the same.

The only blocked Skyline necks have been rosewood except for the AC limited run correct?

I always thought those blocks were painted.

 

[bamabass]

soo......Shadowfax is coming your way??? sweet!

what happened to the 2 new ones you ordered???? or was that all a dream?

no dream...still ordered....but the B and B's are not out yet. But Shadowfax may be finding a new home here is Bama....or wherever I may end up with this new work thing.

 

[basspraiser]

See Johnny - Skylines are "good".......Fenders are....well......B@D.......

Nice! Honestly at that price point plastic is very nice. Look at the price of the Geddy Lee and that has painted blocks.

 

[basspraiser]

ah......so this is an interim fix....I hear a move may be in order...where?

[jarrhead]

They didn't have dunlops or DRs.. I just got the thickest set of GHS Boomers I could.

 

[bamabass]

ah......so this is an interim fix....I hear a move may be in order...where?

not quite sure yet....we are prepping for the chicago week coming up, I leave for Dallas tomorrow. Then a few weeks back in Europe....hopefully settling down in Chicago or Columbus, OH. Still a lot of things in process.

 

[bamabass]

Also, any loggers in the Dallas area, I will be in town this week anyone wants to try to hook up. Terry is gone and can't get together unfortunately. I will be in Dallas and heading down to the Temple, TX area. PM me!

Ah...bummer...well.. Boomers will work!

 

[fergbassplayer]

I was really impressed with the plastic inlaid blocks on the Skyline DJ AC...very classy and not at all cheapified or tacky in any way!

I'm liking the LOG bass more and more...hmmm whaat can I sell???

Bummed you didn't get my way when you were in these parts

 

[bamabass]

me too...business took us to the other side of Oakland, and then to Sacramento. Not nearly as nice as the wharf would have been!
