LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #41

[Bass.]

I've had some issues with GHS before. Anyone had experience with the lakie strings?

any good?

I use DRs should I make the switch?

 

[JEDI BASS]

I prefer DR stainless and MTD stainless myself. And have never liked GHS strings.

And, if you're a member of the Lakland Owner's Group, you get a discount on DRs (IIRC) and pickguards (10% off) from Jeannie Pickguards. I've bought so many sets of MTDs in bulk last year, that I've not needed to check about the DR discount. That's why I'm not sure .

I love both the Lakland Nickels and JO Flats. Great strings. I really like DR Sunbeams too. I have them on my Decade.

 

[JEDI BASS]

Sorry Saltmonkey... didn't win the lottery last night , I suppose you didn't either...

 

[jarrhead]

What's it in the shop for?

And you were the one I was talking about a setup with.

It's the only place in town that will do setups so I just have to wait a few days or screw it up myself.

 

[JEDI BASS]

Hey Jared, have you watched Carl's setup vids on youtube?

He makes it easy to do it yourself.

I like all of those too, but Dunlop Nickels...WOW! And the price is killer!

Nice! The Decade sounds great, too.

 

[RHCP250]

I can attest to the greatness of these strings. Definitely my favorite so far.

 

[Milky]

Welp, I signed a lease on an apartment in Knoxville!! Moving in May 31st and starting work June 1st.

Definitely seems like a nice place, we are super pumped about moving in up there.

Luke: I TOLD you my son and I look alot alike...we don't age much after 20..

Uh, Doug, I think you made a mistake, you posted your current passport photo instead of the school photo

 

[basspraiser]

not really...the body contour is WAY different....shape similar...contour different...

Lakland is laying low on new models untl the economy improves but Dan tells me (no details (darn it!!!)) that he has a few GREAT ideas when he can implement them...

I am surprised it would cost anything retooling wise. Wouldn't the body be the same as the Glaub just routed for a single coil P pickup? That and a new pickguard seems to be the only thing you would need.

Markus - neat new avatar!!! love the "card look" (looks like cards in a poker hand....and he has 2 ACES!!!)

What's it in the shop for?

 

[basspraiser]

HIDE THE KIDS!!!! naked Lakie content!!!

Yes, but who wants a stinkin' 55 ???

The control plate and pickguard shape wouldn't work.

EDIT: I meant if someone wanted to convert a Glaub or Dunn to a Tele style bass... sorry

 

[basspraiser]

LOL!!!! funny JJ!!!

I'm envious of his beautiful teeth..... or errr tooth...

 

[basspraiser]

you know....20 or so years ago I swore of GHS for good....did not like them.....got my first few Lakies and then found out that GHS made their strings and was floored! these are not "standard" however, they are specific Lakland designs.

DR is a GREAT string as well and happen to be a great sponsor of the LOG site....

Every month we give away a set of Lakie strings and a set of DR strings to lucky supporting members (as a matter of fact we just got a new set of strings from Dan on Saturday - we were ALL out of 5ers...seems like alot of LOG members (or at least those who win the random drawings) play 5 bangers)!!!

[basspraiser]

You are 100% correct!!!

part of the benefits.....there are also other discounts....

I prefer DR stainless and MTD stainless myself. And have never liked GHS strings.
