WOW!! you did that for ME!? I feel so special!

And I like that one alot!!! I like the narrower swoop and the larger "horn" on top......

may have to send this one to Carl!!!

Here's a bit more traditional looking version I threw together real quick... I think it definitely works.

 

[basspraiser]

I like the more gentle upper curve idea...BUT I like the swoop at the bottom (where the knobs are) narrow all of the way....

Hey - at least you got me off the MM pick guard kick!

I really like this!! especially with a matching headstock!

I like it...the only thing I'd change, is make the upper curve in the back a little more gentle..like this. And make the part that comes down as the control plate a little thicker at first.

on second thought...yeh.....I think i do like the thicker part....

am I indecisive or what?

[basspraiser]

Yeh ....me too!

.....and to think.......we can get this type of talent just hanging around here!

I will see if Carl can do one like it...already e-mailed him...will see what he has to say.....

would have Roger do it but I would probably have to send him the bass and don't really want to do that....would rather take it down to Carl myself....have him work on the guard while the neck is out to Pat having the headtock painted.....darn it I am gettin excited now!!!!

It's amazing how good this looks.

I think you guys may have stumbled onto something BIG here.

 

[basspraiser]

ARE YOU CRAZY??????

the last part is to erase the blocks and draw simple dots

I know you are.....so why did I ask?? he he he!!!

 

[basspraiser]

XX-01s have not been offered in quilt OR cherry burst for some time....

The "deluxe" refers to the quilted top......not the neck material.

Enjoy a rare beauty!!!

Just got off the Lakland site and it doesn't look like the 55-01 is offered in Cherry Burst anymore. What's up with that? Also, a question that just came up about my bass which is a 55-01. I l aways thought that the Deluxe versions equaled a Maple Fretboard, but according to another source they're referring to my bass as a deluxe because the top looks to be quilted maple even though the FB is Rosewood. Please enlighten me.

 

[basspraiser]

SWEET!!!!

congrats!

is everything else staying?

55-01D is cherry burst with rosewood and upgraded bartolini pre.

 

[basspraiser]

That will look sweet Trevor!!!

oh yeah!!!

 

[basspraiser]

as you can see.....the

IS BUILDING....

I REALLY do appreciate all the work you guys did.....you just NAILED it and brought it home!

Oh, the suspense and anticipation of the next Doude wave to see his reaction.

 

[basspraiser]

man - you are a bright one!

Carl said he MAY have to do a little sanding/routing in the cavity so they will not stick.....he said he would be gentle....

Hey Randy, did you get my PM?

And, YES I like the guard for Doude's teal bass... very NICE! But, question: Will the pot's posts be too short after extending thru the body wood AND a pickguard?

I guess not... cause it somehow worked on Gus' silver modded 55-01.

J: " they were - um "donated" by a down on his luck American who's dollar is shrinking

Actually, the US dollar is about even with the Canadian dollar over the last 6 months.

And over the past year, the US dollar has risen against a basket of six major currencies. I'm just sayin'.

[basspraiser]

actually I do......now let me see where they are.....

ahhh....here we go!

He can always just gouge out around the hole on the top it with a screw driver or hammer and chisel. Maybe he has an old drill bit or some vice grips laying around...

 

[basspraiser]

We are hoping for Oct/Nov at the latest...

the prototype is in Korea so the plant can get the dimensions off of it for the CNC machines etc....

John hopes to have the first one (one each) back in a few weeks to a month or so...after that 90-120 days until delivery!

Show us pics!!!

For all you LOG dudes.
Any word on when the LOG P-5 bass will be out?
Just got a new USA BG, and starting to gas for a 5er.

 

[GregC]

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

Glamdring? Sorry, Gus, the only way that one works is if Doug starts playing at these. Invalid Link Removed

Blue Velvet gets my vote--great image, great movie!

 

[basspraiser]

LOVE Cherry burst!!!

If they did not make the Ambers in 2007, the Cherry burst was my fall back...

I've gotten more compliments from the ladies on the burst.

 

[MarkusBass]

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

I don't know the line... I don't even know what that's from or anything...so I figured it had to be dork-alicious.

 

[MarkusBass]

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!

A few huh?

That one was thick because I had to distort it to fit the bass. It was a quick mockup.

 

[basspraiser]

He he!!!

welcome Birdie!

nice 55-60 (forme JO5) you have there!

make sure you PM me if you would like an official number and check out: Link Removed for more fun!!!

peace:

Doug (aka "Doude"...aka "Lakie whipped")

We've been expecting you! Welcome!

(and I fixed that last pic fer ya...)

Hey - at least you got me off the MM pick guard kick!

I really like this!! especially with a matching headstock!

Yeah...me too! That and the matching headstock, and I think you're golden...then you just send it to me. See how easy that was?

 

[basspraiser]

what year is it? do you know if it has the fralins of the lakie pickups?

Really a great value. It's sound is -I don't know if it's the right way to describe it but- very alder-maple like... It has DR SS Lo-Riders on it now. Very very happy with it!
