LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #45

[basspraiser]

They keep us young...or at least we THINK we are still acting young....

but -great to have them around!

 

[basspraiser]

you have a few months to save up!

I know... I know... I need a LOGLEBG5PJ... just can't right now.

 

[MarkusBass]

I like the trans Root Beer color and pickguard, but pickup cover AND the thumb rest ...not really a fan of either of those things on their own, but together it's extra odd looking IMO.

The thumbrest would leave holes, but personally...I'd see if Pat could fill them.

thanks, Mr. Time Machine
BTW, the Skline in your signature might need a "y"

 

[MarkusBass]

Yeh - Markus:

 

[basspraiser]

Because tears flow every time he sees that bass.....and i know why...it was/is a sweet bass!

why's glad? Knowing you, there has to be a story behind it.

 

[basspraiser]

Doude I like................................................................





Dougcho not so much

I'm thinking more like an echo...

A "Dougcho" if you will....

 

[MarkusBass]

It's settled! Dougcho it is!

"I can't see Gassing for anything else at this point."

We got another one boys and girls!!!


Glad you like it!!!

PLEASE POST PICS!!!

have you checked out: Link Removed yet?

My 55-02D showed up yesterday and after playing her for a couple of hours last night I'm totally blown away by what a great bass she is. Having only played Lakie's in music stores before buying one used from Dub56 here on TalkBass I didn't fully appreciate what nice basses they are. Yes, the neck felt great and it was versatile but until I got her in my hands at home with my amp without the sales staff hovering only then did the real beauty of the bass come through. I couldn't be happier.

I'm pretty stunned all the way around. I can't see Gassing for anything else at this point...except maybe a Duck Dunn!

 

[basspraiser]

OH man!!!

that would be a nice "Woody" replacement....'cept for missing a string!

[basspraiser]

TRIPLE ditto!

Ditto!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

I agree 1000%

BUT I can say that a certain trans brown Decade I saw recently DID give me a new appreciation for rootbeer!

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!!!

 

[basspraiser]

I like the lighter trans better....

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.

Evan, if money is a consideration for you, you should also get a quote from Marty Bell. I think he did Ferg's JO5. He's less expensive, his wait time is less and he has just as good a rep and does stellar work.

I love Marty, he's fast, cheaper, and does AMAZING work...

He did both of mine!

 

[basspraiser]

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

Pat Wilkins [[email protected]]

you are welcome!

 

[basspraiser]

YOU say that for EVERYTHING!

Dunlops

 

[MarkusBass]

YOU say that for EVERYTHING!

Had no choice! That's what's on 'em!

 

[GregC]

picky - picky picky....how "Greg" of you!!!

High praise indeed!

 

[BigBeatNut]

He did both of mine!

Hmmm, that pic set me thinking ...

What do you reckon ? Too cramped, or will it pass ?

Each can be removed afterwards, but I love the thumb rest. It feels great... maybe I could do without the cover. I've just always liked them.
