Daaaannggg. It's times like these I'm glad I can't play 4 string basses! I can only imagine what that sounds like with stainless and that Retro in it...

Ditto!!!!

Well I do play 4's...but I don't have the scratch for that beauty! Nice price!

I remember my first Lakland. It was on older -02D and it blew me away as well. I still have that feeling everytime I pick one up, which is often because I don't own anything other 5 string Lakies...

As far as a Duck Dunn, you apparently like the fivers, so what about a LOG bass?

Those are nice but when I get a p-bass it's going to be a 4 and that won't be for a while.

Since I can't really afford my JO26, with its undeniable old-school flare, I'm feeling this for a different style of old-school.

Even though I'm not really a fan of darker wood finishes, that's a pretty hot concept....although I'd love to see Trans Blue or Trans Green on it!!!

I like it! But the real question here is do you? It would definitely give it that old school flare.

 

[E-Mac]

my gf would love it if I got a trans green, but I don't think it would be that great.

this is what I'm going for with the lighter trans brown:

one more:

I think I'll really dig it.. not sure about other options. I'd keep it natty if I didn't have my natural fretless. Definitely a trans though.

I dig it. Honestly, I like solid "root beer" a little more than trans-brown, but either one will look good in my opinion.

Ooo... that root beer would be hot with the maple & blocks!

alright, LOGers, I feel pretty good about this setup. Should I send it to Lakland and have them take care of the rest? It already has the screw holes for the pickguard, it just needs a new one cut... and then there's the refin. I'm open to suggestions.

+1! Evan, you know Lakland and Pat Wilkins will do a fantastic job.

I can't believe this isn't on a truck yet!

 

[E-Mac]

Should I contact Leo and send it to Lakland? The LOG thread seems to have the refin experts.. should I go through wilkins or Lakland?

 

[E-Mac]

and yes, I know that Pat does the work for Lakland, I'm just unsure of who to contact.
