LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #42

[MarkusBass]

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

Interesting....

 

[MarkusBass]

No, the dunn neck wouldn't work on the decade. They would physically fit, but because of the neck pup location, you could not adjust out the neck if needed. The decade has wheel style adjustment because of that. I do think that the black headstock would look cool on my glaub though.

You can swap that easily. Carl walked me through it.

 

[MarkusBass]

maybe he used magic

No...mirrors and smoke. The thing to look out for is make sure the screw holes line up. Mine line up perfectly. The two necks were only 6 numbers apart! D72 and D78!

 

[MarkusBass]

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.

Nope! All perfect and up to spec! The adjustment wheel is still on the decade! All you do is swap the truss rod nuts at the heel. Alakazam!

 

[MarkusBass]

Where's the drool smiley? That is so hot.

On an unrelated note, I love my band members. We played a talent show at my school the other day, and we botched it. My drummer got super nervous infront of the crowd, and sped the song up super fast, and the frontman was having trouble singing and playing guitar, so he'd stop playing to sing from time to time. All the while I'm trying to just keep this mess together. Everyone loved it! Its crazy how we know our performance was awful, but no one really noticed. I am far too hungover to be posting this stuff.

Thanks man! Sorry it didn't go well...at least the crowd had fun...and judging from the hangover, you did too!

 

[MarkusBass]

There must be a way to adapt the standard truss adjustment to a wheel. Terry's US/Skyline Decade has a 2002 Skyline JO neck on it so it must be able to happen somehow.

Yep! See post a few up!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Hey bro! You guys have a great sound. Maybe for II you could throw out some bipolar fusion stuff. You still digging your new babies?

Maybe some BFTrio songs... who knows .

Yeah, I'm loving all my babies, more than ever! Just need to get a new singer for T.O. soon so I can start using/gigging them!

Nerves tend to always speed musicians up, I battle w/ that in the studio at times. Don't sweat any of it, like you said, everyone loved it.

For sure! Our drummer did the same.

Definitely. In one band, we recorded several times. We made sure to each have a beer or two before we went in, to try and keep from playing too fast.

Love your quote Greg.

Burton ruled, and Han shot first because he was a bad@ss.

 

[JazznFunk]

Finally got my new white guard for my older 44-01, replacing the tort. I gotta say, I like the white better on this bass for some reason. Anyway, here she is.

Was just browsing facebook. I realized that my great friend's brother plays bass.. And you can go ahead and guess the kicker.


I won't say what bass he plays but it starts with a Lakland 55-01.

Cool! I'm more of a tort, or pearl guy, but that looks good.

Great friend...it that like the grandfather of your friend's brother?

 

[jarrhead]

Nah, the Lakland guy is around 17 years old.
My friend's 15. I think..

His lakland shot was really nice, I wish my brother could take pictures of me like that! lol.

 

[blondmix3]

I don't think of them as old school, maybe BEM blocks, no guard & let the wood do the talkin!



random block party photo...

Hottest threesome EVER!!!!! Well, maybe not, but HOLY COW those are HAWT!

Ha! Thanks, JJ. Man, they need to create an entirely separate Metallica Bassists forum for those endless arguments.
