LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #43

More is always great! If I understand correctly, those samples are played with a pick... That's not really a big help.
So it looks like I'll get to meet up with another Laklander in a couple weeks. An up and coming local band is opening for Papa Roach and needed a fill in at bass. Ummmm, woohoo I guess? It's a little heavier than what I usually prefer to play, but should be fun. Hope he has the Lakiebird.
thats AWESOME Randy!!! congrats!!
we were supposed to open up for Janus this weekend but they had a family emergancy
Well, my DJ5 just arrived at Lakland headquarters. It hadn't seen much playing time for a while since I got my 55-02D early last Fall. And before that, I noticed it fretting out on the A string in odd places, but didn't seem to play all that bad otherwise (or maybe I'm just that oblivious 
). Never thought to look down the neck 'til I saw the one post on the LOG about a JO with a twisted neck. Sure enough.
Anyway, I contacted Dan a month ago yesterday about getting a new neck possibly and he offered to replace the neck (they happened to have another Black DJ5 neck, fortunately) and set it up at a minimal (much, much less than what it should) cost... which he obviously didn't have to do seeing the bass was certainly out of the warranty period. Amazing.
So, due to a number of travel/family/time-absorbing issues over the past few weeks and the lack of a box to ship, I was unable to send the bass out until this week. Reading the Lakland news earlier this week made me a bit nervous, I must say. I guess my timing couldn't have sucked much more given all the changes there, but I trust things will work out fine. We'll see if the deal holds up... even if I have to pay more, I guess I don't really mind... I expected to anyway.
I know most everyone here already knows or has experienced the Dan Service™, but I just wanted to share and go on public record to say that Dan rocks. He's always been a great help and provided service far beyond what I ever expected whenever I've dealt with him.
And, even though it hasn't seen much playing time as of late, I already miss my DJ5 sitting in the corner of my space with my other basses. There's a hole. I hope she makes it home soon and all fixed up.

Totally killer Lakland is doing that. You would never see that form most of the other companies out there. Nice man!
