LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #44

You have played one, right? They're very comfortable basses, but are totally different from Lakies. Big baseball bat neck.
I have played many.
Neck is not something that even matters to me at all. I am comfortable with Ibanez, Warwick, Spector, Lakland..
The only neck I dislike is a Jazz.
Oh man I've got 6 people interested, I don't know what to do! Shall I start bids?
You advertised a price. Seems to me that the first one (based on PM timestamps) to commit to that price should have first crack at it. Although if someone wants to offer more...

Nice, Alan! Good peeps at TPB, in my experience. I've bought an Aggie 410, a tuner, VT pedal and strings and been very pleased with their service.
Very cool and just as I expected!
Well, my doorbell rang about 10 minutes ago... ran downstairs and was surprised to see a bass-sized box at my door. Whoa... holy turnaround time! As I posted earlier in this (or possibly the previous) thread, I sent it in for a twisted neck repair/replacement about a week and a half ago.
Opened the case a few minutes ago, and it's just like new bass day.
Brand new neck (dare I say, much nicer than the previous even), all PLEK'd up (my first experience with a PLEK'd bass, btw) and beautiful. Wow.
Hats off to John and crew. He held to the deal that Dan offered me without question/issue and delivered in exceptional fashion. I'm very, very pleased.
Thought I'd share this as soon as I could to help expel any of that "not so sure about the new guys" worry that has been floating around since things changed over a couple weeks ago. I'm glad to say that, at least in this instance... and I have reason to believe that it won't hold up in future for others dealing with the "new" Lakland... it's all good <<insert 2 thumbs up here>>

Yeah, the metal band's songs will require a 4 string tuned C#,G#,C#,F# . I was able to play 2 w/ my 5er tuned BEAD, but those riffs based around open drop-tuned strings can be impossible no matter how skilled you are
. I gave 'em a good try though before tuning down

Great story!
Been there, done that, just not at all the same kind of bass. I'm a Lakland man all the way. The necks are magical, and the sound is incomparable as well. So, best of luck to ya.
And I a spector man.
I actually have $200 more than I thought, so will probably pay for the spector tonight and sell the Lakland tonight as well.
$550, going to Big Joe. You may see hiim around.
