Nice!!! Yeah...gotta love those HBs!

6 months ago I played a used lakland hollowbody at a shop in Minneapolis, and I've been waiting (and gas-ing) ever since to get one!

Thanks to basmansam, I've got my FIRST LAKLAND! (GOLD HB DS on the right)

Could be here Thursday or Friday. I'll get some new pics up when it arrives.

Thanks again basmansam! Once it arrives, I'll apply for a number!

cool!!!!

good luck with the move (s)...

I think I will wait until I move in before I update my address. I would hate to have a "nonbeliever" receive any of my Lakland stuff.

Anyways, we still have to sell our house here and move into an apartment here so my wife can finish her experiments by December. So lots of moving but I will let you know when the addresses actually change.
 
cool John! I cannot wait to see it when you can get down here (or I can get up there) next

Spent my afternoon at the tattoo shop getting my "Inkage".
Complete with a Lakland.
A little too gross to post full size pics right now.
Refer to the new avatar.

Its hard to see, but its James Jamerson playing a Glaub.
Sorry if it offends anyone. I like it.
 
too bad you are not coming to Chicago.....we could get you to the factory!

all of the dealers are listed on the Lakland web site....maybe you can talk to Leo ([email protected]) and have him make sure the particular dealer you are going to will have a JO and an HB there for you....just a thought....he may be able to direct you to a dealer as well...

good luck and happy hunting!

either way you will win....

Guys I'm coming to NY in September And I'd like to complement that with a skyline Lakie! I've Tried a JO at the Bass gallery in London and really liked what I had in my hands! So It'll be probably a close race between a JO and a HB (as I tried this one in Montreal and really digged the sound too!) and maybe a DJ but I'm not sold on what I tried (I really think the JO didn't have the classic J sound that I usually don't like whilst the DJ had it but YMMV)

So aside from some advice, Do you know a place in NYC where I could be able to try at least a JO and a HB? at a good price? I'd love to find one used too so If you plan to get rid of any skyline JO4 or HB and are ok to wait until september then count on me!

Cheers
 
CONGRATS!!!!

I had to close that for sale thread fast myself since I love shoreline gold and have been wanting an HB for a while myself....you will enjoy it....

peace:

Doug

PS - where are you in Iowa? I have relatives in the quad citites area, my son is going to school in the quad cities and my nephew is going to school in Des Moines.

I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but I just wanted to drop a line and say I have a LOG membership pending! :hyper:

Liked a Skyline JO, but then also played a 44-02 on two separate occasions (must've played about 15-20 different basses over the course of 6-8 visits to music shops). After the 2nd 44-02 demo, I plunked down a deposit on a deluxe w/ a natural quilted maple top. Pretty basic & subdued color scheme, but I love the way it looks, feels, and sounds.

Will post pics and request "official" membership when I pick it up.
