Nope it's Rosewood bro!! And sending 20-30 texts a day w/ trade offers is not "lusting", it's flat out harrassing!!!
JK................sorta
LOL!!!! Hey, put me in line for that one too, since it doesnt have the thumb rest!!~
Thanks. I know from seeing you in other threads, that you know well the "Tele sound". This one's got it, plus a little more hum-free bottom from the split Fralin, PERFECTION IMO.
LUCKY!!!
Will do. But, the Tele sound is so different from a split P.
POOOOOOT!!!
Hey guys - we're doing the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno this Friday. I'm gonna use my sonic blue USA Glaub. If you tune in, let me know how it sounds. Go Team Coco
Awesome! (although I prefer the Geddy Glaub
And agreed- go Team Coco! LOL
This is my 2008 Lakland Deluxe 3 Tone Sunburst in Jakarta Indonesia. Enjoy the pictures!! Cheers.
That is a NICE top!!!! Beautiful!
Wow that back middle one looks killer. Is it a 55-94? Any more pics?
I'm dying for a Lakland (and actually getting a LOG number
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!!!
Will do. But, the Tele sound is so different from a split P.
But the tele now has a split coil pickup. I'm sure it will sound different. I just know the music you play, and think you will totally dig the Lakland.
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!!
You haven't steered me wrong yet, that's for sure!
You gotta play her sometime though man!!! When you flying out? She's worth it! I'll put you two together in my spare room for a weekend.... just treat her like a lady, that's all I ask hehehe.
I'll get it on friday!
...I'm polishing my floors now
Ah excellent...oh wait, Friday NoCal time means around Saturday for me, still a few more days until I find out.
You're a real jerk, you know that?
I dunno, it really looks like Rosewood to me, in the group shot I compared it to the Goblin and the fretless 55-94/02, and it looks more brown than black
Ah excellent...oh wait, Friday SoCal time means around Saturday for me, still a few more days until I find out.
You're a real jerk, you know that?
Why thank you! He he he! But I'm on NorCal Time
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.
Yeah...Does look more brown there. Close up shots look more black. I asked Leo, and he thought it was ebony. Either way...I'll take it!
Markus' unveiling on Friday or Saturday will be epic!!! That's all I can say...... except that I'm so FRIGGIN' jealous!!!!

Ah...yes...OK...I believe you now
Can't remember where I heard ebony...must have been one of the dreams I've had about that bass.- Status
