LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #45

[GregC]

Oh - did I just give you a compliment?

I am SOOOO sorry!

did not mean it that way...

No, you called Denis' post "Greg-like"--high praise. I assume that refers to someone actually reading the posts put up since they last visited, before posting themselves.

 

[MarkusBass]

I think I like the black PG. Maybe 20 or so fewer screws...

He he he! And maybe a little more rusted.

 

[GregC]

Check out Tone's p-bass. This is what made me GAS for a trans brown

 

[MarkusBass]

Damn, nice playing! And I like the look. I've changed my mind--for your bass, I like the lighter color simply because you've got some nice grain that can show through.

Just as an FYI, here's a solid finish.

Looks like milk chocolate!

 

[E-Mac]

yea... I think I'm going for the lighter. And Tone Whitfield, he's a dangerous bassist.

 

[MarkusBass]

I know this is dark, but I love this! This is my fav combo in any trans brown

That is frikkin' stunning! Oh, geez. Now all I can think of is sending my 55-60CS to Pat to make it look like that...

Almost a few times!

I know! I almost pulled the trigger a few times on this exact combo. So hot! I've event talked to Pat about it!

 

[E-Mac]

with which maple board bass, markus??

 

[MarkusBass]

with which maple board bass, markus??

That was when I ordered a new bass. If my 4-07 had a maple board...it would already be that color Sea Monster was almost that color with a maple board.

 

[MarkusBass]

BTW...new basses on Leo's Gear...no Laklands yet...but soon!

 

[E-Mac]

while the monster is very cool, that could've been beastly..
visually, I miss the cream p-pickup, but I bet the dark star destroys

Yeah...that's how I feel. It's a different personality than the dark trans brown would have been, but now that is has the DS and I have Mr. Pink...it all worked out perfectly. Love the cream too, but that DS sings with flats. Really love Lakland's P pickup. It's tied for me with the DS. Glad I can go back and forth...would be a tough to pick!

 

[basspraiser]

BUT that bass is backwards!

Does painting it brown do that?

[basspraiser]

So NOW I know how you REALLY feel!

that is it!

I am going home to mommy....

[basspraiser]

.......actually I was referring to his over analytical observance of the missing "y" in the "Skyline" in my signature....which is NOW fixed BTW!
