LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #44

[Gecko 5]

well....I would not say "poor Amber"....she is going to a good home!

I already told Doug he has automatic dibs if I have a moment of stupidity......







Its been known to happen

 

[Luke.Walton]

I didn't get anything.

Oh....I see...On the Link Removed Doude said you picked up a nice BG, and I assumed he meant you bought it.

Never mind haha

 

[Luke.Walton]

He's probably thinking about John's new toy.....

Which one is that?

Excellent job, Branden, you guys sounded great! The Glaub was sounding right-on through that white Aggie rig. And hey, you got to meet the Jonas Brothers.

Never mind haha

Nah, I literally picked it up--and fooled around with it. It used to be Branden's, it's white with a black pickguard, RW board, dots and binding. Very cool-looking, for sure.

 

[Luke.Walton]

Ah yep, I know the one you mean.

On a related note, Branden, why did you get rid of it?

 

[GregC]

For the Star Wars geeks, 'cause you probably don't venture into OT...

Well, I know one of the reasons is he already has two killer Glaubs, and wanted an active Decade....

Yesterday I walked into a music store and played a 55-01 for about a half hour and loved it....

The necks on my 2 55-01 basses never move. Regarding the electronics in the -01 series basses, I love the tone of the stock Bartolini MK-1's. Some think they are too 'aggressive', but a lot of that depends on technique and string choice. I find they give a very good modern sound with an edge that really works well in any style of music. For what it's worth, my 44 and 55 -01 basses get more use on average than my 44-02 Deluxe. I just really like the tone of the -01 basses.

The 55-01 is my favorite Skyline; I actually prefer it over the 55-02, personally.

Very Cool! You guys sound great! Nice to see the bass player get some face time too!

 

[Milky]

Milky: Didn't I get you one already?

guess not.....you are lucky #346. been 2 months to the day that I gave out the last LOG number....

come on guys...we need to reach 400!

Well I didn't ask for a number since I am not really a Lakland "owner"...just the owner of a deposit

Thanks though!

 

[lmfreeman9]

Just picked up a Skyline 44-02 in trade, Black/Rosewood/tort, very nice.

 

[Luke.Walton]

No pics no bass lmfreeman hehe, you know the rules

Also I really like that combo

 

[basspraiser]

BEEEEE-UUUUU-TIFUL!!!

you need more pics of her......

I would LOVE to be able to have a "love fest" and let our Lakie families meet for a day or more!

Logistics of transportation are always the issue....

Uhaul???

YES, a 55-94 and my "goto" bass... also my first Lakland, bought off eBay without ever even touching or seeing a Lakland in person. That's another love at first sight story that I've told time and time again...

Here's a crappy pic w/ fingerprints and such. The cover was just laying there for fun. Sadly, Traci is my least photo'd Lakie.

and sorry, you can't try a "couple" of my basses!!! I already told you that you have to play ALL of them d@mnit!!!

 

[basspraiser]

yeh....that would be like slamming a crow bar into a revolving door......the world might explode!

Haha, the Tele would end your search for the perfect P, and be the end of the Spicerack. I can't have that on my conscience!!

 

[basspraiser]

I am not sure.....really dark.....It looks alot like ebony to me....if it is rosewood, it is the darkest rosewood I have ever seen.....

really? You REALLY think I don't know what my fretboard is made of?

Just kidding... I talked w/ Kevin probably 3 times before he had Leo ship it, and he confirmed that it's rosewood (I too thought it was ebony). It just photo'd a little darker is all. It has that distinct look of rw, all those tiny grain openings that look like tiny cracks, looks like it came from the same tree as Goblins fretboard.

 

[basspraiser]

GREAT shot of a GREAT bass!!!!

that is one awesome CS you got there!!!

I haven't posted any pics in a while, so im posting this pic of my JO-CS, origianlly made for Tim Commerford of rage againt the machine( for those of you that dont know the story behind the bass) with custom 1.6" neck

 

[basspraiser]

I'm with ya there!!!

Beautiful. One of the few four bangers that could find a home here! lol

 

[basspraiser]

Is that when you bought Carl's DS'd longneck?

Love em both Matty and Terry!! I tried to get the DSed BG once but just missed it.
