Thinking about it...

I've been thinking about picking up a fretless neck for the HB... I'd lose to go unlined, but dunno if they have them for the skylines.

 

[MarkusBass]

I don't think they do.

Well, I'm back from the shop. There's a bass that I'm seriously considering, but after playing a shortscale decade, I just MAY have to go that route

 

[MarkusBass]

Cool Evan! What was the one you were considering?

 

[E-Mac]

a really nice Trans White JO5 with Blocks and Binding.. rw board. It felt good, but I was diggin on the short scale more.. coin is the issue right now. I want to really think it through before going into another bass purchase.

 

[MarkusBass]

Ah...sounds awesome!

"As the Band Turns" Best soap in show business Fingers crossed!

A short scale would fit you so well!! And, I think that you've had trouble w/ the 35" scale of the 5ers before, right?

Sounds cool! Did you happen to see the LOG prototype while you there?

The short scale decade was awesome (Not a fan of the 34" though). I didn't have as many problems with the longer scale as I thought, but it IS tough for me to play fivers... I really am GASing for short scale decade.

nope. sorry

This is going to be a tough one I think.

It's a nice growly flatwound that's an odd one out in a set that came with the bass. Haven't found anything to match it. I think it's an A strung in the E position ... so detuned and that may contribute to the growl ... that and it being on a fretless.

The only other distinctive thing is that there a clear gaps in the windings ... gaps on labellas are much tighter.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm starting to get obsessive about the sound of this string.

(Also posted in the strings forum, but posting here because it is a Lakie HB ... and someone suggested it may be part of the originial string set - JO flats)

these are LaBellas

Nice! Good luck, E. Man, there's a lot of shorty Decade love around here lately. I actually haven't tried one out yet.

Are you sure ? What kind of Labellas ? That string doesn't look anything like the Labellas I have on other basses; for a start, that string has no silks. (The one in the foreground, not the background one).

Speaking of shorty Decade love.

 

[MarkusBass]

Speaking of shorty Decade love.

LOL "does this bass make me look huge?"

answer: yes!!

 

[fergbassplayer]

Are Lakland selling just the necks, and if so how much?

 

[MarkusBass]

Can I get that one a wood floor please?
