Well..once the insurance does their thing, I would make some sort of wall piece out of the basses.

thanks guys. it's crazy--lot's of destruction. hollowbodys are all really ugly. even the solidbody laklands all have warped necks, brown stains from the river/sewage water soaking into them, and cracked bodys (not finish--the wood!!) from the wood swelling up. drying out now just to make them a little less gross, they're all a total loss...
oh man!! tim that sucks!!
i hope your insurance will take care of it.what a waiste of such beautiful basses, my sympathy freind.
So we had a rehearsal yesterday, and it was the first one since I adjusted some things: The 55--01/57 is now a P/J with the BigSplit in the back. I also put some Fodera Nickels on it. I'm also running a Zoom B9.1ut (12AU7) and a QBalls in the effects loop of a bridged Carvin BX1200 into one of the LoPhat 2-way 1x12's. I also had the JO5/55-60 CS with Lakland Stainlesses on it.
Holy Cow!
We're a trio (for now) doing original Jam-Band-esque type stuff, and both basses sounded perfect. Every clam and missed note I played could be heard so clearly and cleanly, with each bass imparting its own distinct character to it.
The P/J is the main player, and it is just so freakin' versatile with those 2 pickups in it with nickels. It sits sooooo well in the mix. These 2 basses are a very complementary pair, with the the Chi's growling away and the NP5 doing that P thing with a little J rolled in for snap. I highly recommend this mod...
We weren't all that loud, but the amp and cab seemed onto be moving so much air that I could feel it as much as hear it.
I can't wait to complete the trifecta with a flats wearin' LOG bass!
Sorry for a somewhat pointless post, but I felt I had to share...

daym... man, that's a lot of mess. Hopefully you can get at least some of it right
Finally in a group that has had my envy for quite some time
Nice man! Welcome!
Thanks. I've been gassing for a lakie since last november when I took a factory tour. I'm hoping I can learn to love the more modern tone. If not, I might see about trading it for a Duck Dunn or a JO5. I really like the idea of a MM J combo.
And there it is! Very nice, my friend. I think you know about Link Removed and such--but if not, c'mon over.
Well...for what it's worth...I'm a passive guy, but I do love my LH3 equipped bass. Playing it a ton lately.
Great bass!!! You'll soon find that you won't want to trade it, that you'll just want to ADD a JO5 (or LOG BG5!!!!), lol.
