LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #44

[basspraiser]

Great to hear!!!!

thanks for the story!

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>>

Who you calling a geek, buddy?

 

[basspraiser]

don't like dem mixed covers.......Like the guard...

I do have the latest Mr. Pink shot. I put a nitrose tort pickguard, and cream p pickup covers on it. What do you guys think? I think it looks saucy!

[basspraiser]

I KNOW what'cha saying......BUT I DO NOT get that same effect with the cream pickup cover...sorry...

damn! now i need a cold shower!

No...I was going to leave it. You know when you see a hot woman...and her hair is a little messy?...aw...you're too young to understand...

 

[jarrhead]

HEY! Who you callin "buddy" Geek?









(JK! - could not pass it up!)

I was looking for "I ain't your buddy, pal!" "I ain't your pal, guy!" "I ain't your guy, friend!" "I ain't your friend, buddy!" "I ain't your buddy pal!"...

 

[basspraiser]

Sweet! that must have been cool!

Nice distortion!!! fits in PERFECTLY!!!

Thanks for al the kind comments about the Leno bit. The whole thing was a great experience. The sound techs were cool to us, and the their monitors we're amazing. We're still old school and haven't switched to in-ears yet, so we rely on good wedges. Kevin Eubanks stopped his car after the show in the parking lot, rolled down his window and said "that song is hot, and the band is hot!". That felt good. ha ha. Everyone involved there were right on, and we look forward to doing the show again down the road.

On another note - check out this version of Springsteen's "State Trooper" we did. Lakland into the distortion channel of the Aguilar AG500. It's dirty!! Link Removed

 

[basspraiser]

YUP!!!!

I think you need this one as well!

Wowzers. I can't imagine EVER getting rid of mine... (would mine be BG5 #0?)

 

[basspraiser]

FUNNY But true!!!

man....that is a sad and disturbing viual there....

I'll take your word for it.

It gives me too much of a Mary Kay Cosmetics vibe... especially when I visualise the J pickup in cream as well. When I see it, I picture an overly made-up woman in her late-'50's who's holding on to her HS prom queen glory days, jumping out of her pink cadillac ready to pedal some product.

If you stick with the cream pickup covers, I think you'll need to change the name from Mr. Pink to Cream Pie.

Lakalnd's got one.....pretty impressive ......sounds twice as large as it is....

skamped up girl not withstanding....

The Micro SVT and 210AV cabs are a good thing. I reviewed them in bass gear some time ago; back issues are on line.

I don't dig the cream pups covers; sorry!

 

[basspraiser]

yeh....Matching or not.....I agree with J2 - looks kinda "parts" bass like.....too much so for a Lakie.....kinda like tramping up a real nice looking lady....oh Never mind....I need ANOTHER cold shower now!!!!

argh!!!

I'll buy a matching cover and see how it looks. Sheesh!

 

[basspraiser]

CONSERVATIVE????? what????

Mr. "you CANNOT (no exceptions! CANNOT) put a MM guard on that bass if you leave it as a double J"?

who talkin' uptight smack now huh??

Alright Gus...I'll through the back back on and see what I think. You bass players are so conservative!

 

[basspraiser]

LOVE THAT idea.....both Sea Monster and Mr. Pink....I am SURE Pat can do that for you....

And hidden poles to "complete" the look...

Hmmm.....got ME thinking now......can you paint CHIs???

Markus- Perhaps you could have some covers painted to match the color of your bass....

 

[basspraiser]

YOU brought it up THIS time Randy!!!

BTW...checked the PO box.....it was empty....'cept for junk mail....

You know, the light pickup covers are approaching the controversial levels of light colored belts, lol.

 

[basspraiser]

They will LOVE it......pure beauty and snarl!!!

Now I'm wondering what you guys are going to think about Sea Monster

 

[basspraiser]

NICE Gus...BUT I thought you said no one would ever see a picture of you on TB???

Gold bridge with Diamond saddles... Yeah!
