LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #45

[basspraiser]

nope.....not yet....been put on a "budget" by my wife...she is reeling from this bass, the redeux, and the LOG bass

all is good though!

*sigh*
no chirrouting either?

she looks be-a-u-ti-ful. and that abalone is astonishing

 

[basspraiser]

Thanks Denis!

so Austria is nice huh? someday...someday!

what was the best part (food? bier? scenery? SCENERY?)

that Blondie? wow... the girl's gone through facial.
The top is amazing, and I dig the headstock too!

 

[basspraiser]

Now THERE we go......

the Doughouse

 

[basspraiser]

......................and the addiction begins!.....

Thanks! I do love this bass and think that Lakland has a long time customer and supporter in me now.

 

[basspraiser]

feel no....sound...actually YES! the bass seems to have more "zing" than it did before and I am VERY happy about it....not sure what changed.....maybe Carl put a different LH3 in it? not sure.....maybe he has it set differntly.....not sure....but it sounded GREAT yesterday!

I could make it "zing" for some of the more modern sounding songs and make it "move alot of air" and thump for the mellow songs etc.....I think i need to experiment more with the knobs on this one!!!

Was regretting getting rid of Amber (well...WHEN John gets here to pick it up!) but after Sunday - well.....let's just say that it is a "little easier to let her go now...

Looks great Dougie, just like I knew it would.... any difference in sound or feel with the top on it?

 

[basspraiser]

NICE Randy!!!

any idea how many people you had lloking at your beautiful Lakies?

so - you got to see the rack of Lakies huh? was the Thuna-Lakie there?

Still catching up with the thread... wow, out of town for two days and you guys are off to the races! Here's a quick pic someone sent me from the fill-in show Friday night opening for Papa Roach. Didn't talk to Tobin, but his seven Lakies were pretty darned awesome!

 

[MarkusBass]

Nice! But you will have to leave that weird Jazz at the door
He he he!

Knock! Knock! May I come in?

Nice!

 

[basspraiser]

THAT might work!!!

Blue Velvet!

 

[MarkusBass]

Happy you got it fixed.....AND got to experience some good ole' Lakland hospitality as well!

Leo is a great guy (as they all are!)

+1!

 

[MarkusBass]

thanks Luke....and NEITHER of his Ps needs a cow catcher!

Please!!

The maple top would make the difference. More highs? More punchy?

 

[basspraiser]

That is EXACTLY what my wife said....but i think I like it....BUT I prefer to think about "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles......huh huh!!!

Although....that is a fretless bass I think....

I like it too...I picture Elvis, but I like it!

 

[JEDI BASS]

JJ;

can tell you have a younger daughter (he he!)...I AM SURE that is where the Kracken comment came from!

all good ideas......

Ummm yeah... has nothing to do w/ my love for movies from my child hood right?

BUT, i DO tell my daughter (when she's bending over in her low cut jeans) that she's "releasing the CRACK-en!!"

 

[basspraiser]

Uh....WHAT!?

1) you are in town and visiting family takes priortiy over visiting the Doude?

2) ANOTHER bass? Ooooo....please tell...

just found a used lakland locally, and it was the EXACT one I have been looking to add to the family for a while. I just got spousal permission too....lets hope he calls me back! WooHoo

 

[basspraiser]

That would be cool!

I am sure it made an impression on them!

You know, it's funny, I could SEE the reflections on the crowd, like a giant wonderful sounding discoball!

 

[basspraiser]

oooooooo...did not think of that....no name decided yet!

(Donning nerd hat) - I am a fairly large Tolkein fan...

top 3 (so far):

Deep Blue
Blue Velvet
Glamdring

this bass DOES kick some serious Orcan @$$

JJ: Dorie is "cute"......maybe

(Donning nerd hat)

Glamdring. Gandalf's sword that glows blue when orcs (or balrogs) are present. Also translated as 'Foe-Hammer', cuz it kicks a lot of a$$!.

 

[basspraiser]

Hey...YOU know the line so you are included!!!

Smells like dork in here

 

[basspraiser]

I think that is a good idea.....I would see if Lakland has any ebony fretless necks in stock......that way:

1) you don't do any damage to the nice rosewood (which I think defretting it would do)

2) you can always convert it back if you want to sell it or just want to go back....

another option would be to see i they have any of the maple fretless necks left.....

=KNURRR;9167791Right now i'm wondering if i should convert my JO4 into a fretless, because after getting my JO5 it gets less and less playing time. Any opinions on this? Who did it and regrets it?

 

[basspraiser]

Markus has a few good ideas....he did one for Midas a while ago....I have it somewhere....lets see - here it is:

I may like the "swoop" to be a little narrower but I like it overall!

Practice has shown that restyling a P-styled pg to a -94/-02 series body is a tough task. Please show what you've got whenever ready
