LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #44

[jarrhead]

write their c/s monkeys and let 'em have some

The only issue is that over the phone you have to leave a message and wait...and wait..

I had to send one string off with the bass for a tuning peg issue.

Evan's not far from NYC, im a few hours away, and pretty hectic, but if you end up near hartford ever let me know.

Oooooohhhh, you gotta try to check out Evan's DJ's....

 

[denchiq]

They don't have the green tint here in the states

that's what you say

 

[JEDI BASS]

I'd rock it at the metal gig that I'm gonna try to play at the month's end. Im goofy that way though, or maybe I'm just itching for a good barfight, hehehe.

Works better than the mismatched, that's for true. I can't quite shake my decade or so as a designer, so the cream would work because they'd sorta match the face dots. The black works because that's sort of the default for this sort of thing. I think that either hue would be fine, so long as they match.

PS: The aforementioned 'Cali thing' is why I think this axe works. I'd definitely *not* try to rock that bass here in the 514, but I figured that the colours and such would make it a perfect axe for an outdoor seaside gig where the palm trees wouldn't be plastic.

come on Tommy...you could "suffer" through this...really you could!

Just a few things off for me lol great price tho.

My needs: -1 string, maple board, quilt maple top

 

[basspraiser]

sumtin' 'bout a "Spector"....

you leavin' us Jar Jar???

no reason...

 

[basspraiser]

ahh...gottcha..cool...

It's one of Eden's "Magic knobs", haha. It boosts the bass, upper mids and treble and cuts some lower mids

 

[basspraiser]

I like the combo.....just don't need one right now...

Nobody seems to like Cherry/Rosewood!

I've gotten one PM interested and three tell me they'd get it if not for cosmetics. I need to raise my price I guess.

 

[basspraiser]

nah...you REALLY do sound that way.....

at least you do on MY cell phone....

Thanks Luke! My voice sounds a little funky because I'm on a cell phone, but oh well!

 

[basspraiser]

I believe the pickups are blades.....

can anyone confirm?

I MAY be making a trip to see Carl ninja soon....maybe I can get an "inside" look at an LH3 pickup...I KNOW the CHIs are blades...

man!!! Could I really be so close?!

My lakie's birthday is 11-28 of 2000
I just took her all the way apart so pat can make his magic

Based on experience is the bart/lh3 system a pole based pickup or "blade"?

 

[basspraiser]

NOYCE!

congrats!

cannot wait for pics of the real one!

Thanks; yes she's wonderful.

Here's a Bass Central pic of a black/rosewood 55-01 just like my new one.

 

[basspraiser]

ah....Mods?????

Nice job on the interview, Markus! I've done some radio stuff over the phone for work, and it takes some getting used to.

Also, nice to see the host had a non-crazy person on his show for once.

 

[jarrhead]

I like the combo.....just don't need one right now...

Found a buyer within ten minutes anyhow. Payment already received.

 

[basspraiser]

JJ:

you KNOW better than to listen to Markus!!! ( he he he!!)

With YOUR collection???? you should be able to find work in ANY band....ANY time! you got the arsenal for jazz/big band/ metal/grunge.....all within arm's reach!

Thanks Doug.

And, what Markus and others said is true, a bassist can find work .

 

[jarrhead]

sumtin' 'bout a "Spector"....

you leavin' us Jar Jar???

CAUTION: LAKLAND USER DISCRETION ADVISED

Guess I didn't leave you much choice.

You can welcome Big Joe soon.

 

[basspraiser]

last week I just did a "webinar" for a society I am in...THAT is REALLY wierd!

you are talking to your computer and the speakerphone....70 people were "watching" and listening but I could not get their "feedback" either visually or aurally....that was REALLY strange!

I teach periodically and it is always easier to see if people are "getting it" or not....when it is "just me" I feel wierd...like you said "talking to yourself"....well (in your case) and thousands more!

I just LOL'd myself!

Thanks! Yeah...was weird over the phone...you kinda think you are talking to yourself until you hear something on the other end.

 

[Milky]

Markus, just listened to your interview since I am thinking about picking up a couple books for my nieces and nephews. Any way to get a signed copy?

Anyway, you sound exactly like my brother-in-law! I did a double-take (with my ears?) when I heard it. Are you from CA originally?

 

[basspraiser]

Gus:

you are older and more wise.....

I traded a 5 string Spector Euro for my first Lakland. Best decision I'd made in a long time...

 

[basspraiser]

Gotta!

I agree with watching the guitarists hands.....I sit right in back of the acoustic guitar player and we do alot of stuff where we do key changes and "stops" etc....nice to watch for his hand shifts once 'n a while!!!


(psst.....but DONT tell him.....he is following ME and the drummer!)

TECHNICALLY I could, but those could be some awkward fingerings (a lot of riffs, grrr), and when you're learning ten original songs in just a few days, being able to glance at the guitarist once in a while helps....
