LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #41

[MarkusBass]

yeah i was never a big fan of the mm pickguard BUT i got a natural bass (not my first choice) but a GREAT bass and a GREAT price

as I was sitting here I thought... i wonder what it would look like with a mm guard on it

I've only seen natural basses look good with a tort guard... but the mm is a second


any ideas for a good pickguard?

If I did one, I'd go with the J style or music man style that Jeanie's offers.

 

[MarkusBass]

Everyone wave bye bye!

He he he! Bye bye Juice box!

sounds pretty good jedi!

+1 I think they sounds killer!

 

[JEDI BASS]

yeah it sounds really good for being self recorded.

amazing actually

bass cuts through well

is it your awesome looking pbass (51'?)

Thanks again.

No, it's my Bart-loaded 55-94 I call Traci.

 

[MarkusBass]

Well, IIRC there's a bunch of switches and mismatched looking knobs on a MM jazz. I think it needs that guard to cover up the routes.

I'm talking about the Lakland, not the MM

 

[MarkusBass]

Well, I called Leo the other day, and the official word is "NO" , not even if you show them the money.

The main reason is the economy, and the cost of re-tooling etc, so we can't really blame him.

I'd love to see a Lakie version of this:

Bummer man! Yeah...love that!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Thanks Jody. You're the best! It's really hard to type with all these crossed fingers.

any ideas for a good pickguard?

YEAH!!!

Tort musicman style!!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Everyone wave bye bye!

bye bye

+1 I think they sound killer!

Thanks

Bummer man! Yeah...love that!

Yep, blasted economy!!

[basspraiser]

GREAT goal....my son is currently a Biology major....trying to make him think Physics...he actually likes math etc so I think that is more "him" but we'll see!!!

I've just started a "Bachelor of Science (Physics)"

I'm enjoying it so far much better than high school IMO. I"ll use this degree to get me a cushy job so I can BUY MORE LAKIES!!

 

[basspraiser]

OK OK!!!! he he he!!

Hmmm, maybe so. But why should I trust you on this matter?

Why do you hate America? You're either with us or against us.*


*Just taking cues from your political bedfellows when they get criticized.

 

[basspraiser]

NICE!!! I assume when you say "....cutting one of these up..." you mean the pick guard? I would not touch the bass....

that would be a nice combo!!!

Check this out!

lakland and marcus miller are getting together.

He decided on the 5594 instead of a classic jazz

thinking of cutting one of these up

.. big fan of pickguards

 

[basspraiser]

Yeh....he does....if you like that you will need to get a LOG cd (out hopefully next week!)....they have an awesome cut on the CD - along with many other great Lakie players!!!

oh yeah definitely!

Just take some black plastic and cut it up..

probably just use double sided tape to keep it down.

I have no interest in drilling or destorying mah baby

Ooooo , what'd you think of my lady? She's schmexy aye, even though she's a little sick: neck p'up not working ... they'll have her at 100% soon. They're also replacing the truss nut (it's worn and getting brittle) and refreshing/oiling the neck.

Carl is also building a fretless 55-02 using the old Bart MM/J pups and pre that were in Sexual Chocolate "SC" before the Chi-bucker LH3 mod. Leo had a B stock body (finish flaw), I had the extra fretless neck and hardware that I got w/ Shadowfax.... it just made sense to put together a fretless 55-02, plus you know how good the old Barts are... and these are probably close to 15 years old .

I've looked at that one, too, Jodi! Very nice.
