As you all should know by now my needs draw me outside the comfort zone of lakland.
So for some extensive pre-planning (maybe two years later!) - does Pat Wilkins refinish neck-through basses? I know he asks you remove the parts.
I know i'll be looking to get the neck and headstock refinished as well.

hey guys! just got back from a long stint on the road. I got home to see the LOG CD sitting here. Sounds great! It is a privilege to be on a cd with such great players and great guys!
Also, something new on the horizon...possibly![]()
Welcome back Aaron
That sounds intriguing, can you share some more information?
No...lol...j/k....it involves possible new US Lakland and a possible relocation BACK to the home of Lakland! A lot of stuff going on this week....lol
'bama did you ever try swapping Jody's old Dunn neck that's on your Glaub with the Decade neck?
Just wondering what those colour combos would look like
Ah...
How was Markus able to switch necks on his Decade and JO and make that work then? Forgive my ignorance![]()
Hey Aaron, welcome back. That's some fine work on the LOG CD, very cleanly played bass! And, you guys had a great sound! Hope the singer is doing well.
And, I think Markus swapped necks recently just to compare looks w/out reguard to how he would adjust the truss.
I was playing with my 4-07 in photoshop for fun. Here's what I came up with:

I heard Pats new deal is that he will only refinish laklands. If you send him something else, he will put it in a wood chipper and then burn the remains. I cannot confirm this, it is just what I heard.![]()
Verrry nice, Markus! I'm sure you noticed Dan said he loves his fretless Decade. And the surfer with blocks looks as hot as I expected!
Great pic! Love the lighting, the basses look pretty sweet too, of course.
