LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #45

[denchiq]

I've actually seen a dual P before....i think the bass player for teh Moody Blues had a triple P on a video I saw.....

not really sure how a double P would be....triple P - WAY too much!

halt! multiple P is a B.C.Rich natural habitat

 

[denchiq]

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

hell to the yeah! and nevermind the free space on top of our heads (at least I do... or THINK I do)!

 

[denchiq]

you have a few months to save up!

sshhhhh...!!! wives... they are around....

 

[denchiq]

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

touche!

 

[denchiq]

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

oh...

 

[denchiq]

Hmmm, that pic set me thinking ...

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

Andy

interesting!
Now who makes MME pups with just one row of pole pieces? Not Delano, but who?
Markus, could you please add pole pieces to that

 

[denchiq]

High praise indeed!

Oh - did I just give you a compliment?

I am SOOOO sorry!

did not mean it that way...

Oh, great! Right after I set my mind to live up to this highest standard!

 

[denchiq]

Amazing! Doe from P bass to J bass, and then back to P bass! THAT is versatile!!

two bassists IS versatile!

 

[denchiq]

one last look... I think I'm going to go for it.

are you going to make the neck look older too?

 

[denchiq]

I'm definitely interested in the MM/P pickup config, but I placed it according to the space remaining between pickguard and bridge ... only afterwards realising the MM pickup was much closer to the bridge than in a 55-94/02.

If I was going to go for that pickup config, I think it would have to be a modified 55-02 rather than the P body shape.

Andy

well I came up with a close concepce before but nobody felt hot about it.

Think about this: the MME is a quad coil with two linear humbuckers, each devided to BEA and DG strings parts. Now, check this out. This here a MME coils scheme:
b B
e E
a A
D d
G g,
where BOLD CAPITAL is for "on", looks like a P5 (well, save for the likely difference in aperture, but we really don't know before we ask). Imagine a 94/02 with 2 MMEs, the neck one switchable for "J", "MM" or "P". Huh?










Markus has Markus Orange, and I officially claim dibs on this design!

 

[denchiq]

OTOH the end result (the placement of the MM) wasn't too far from this and I know I've tried one of those and liked it.

Andy

I was trying to remember who has done that. Some Japanese brand did this too. ESP? Fernandes?

Markus, your Photoshop is broken!

 

[denchiq]

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.

noooooooooo sorry, I can't do that!

 

[denchiq]

last shot of what I'm going for (i promise):

oh, you're going to have that kind of tan? Classy! Have a mockup of yourself to see?

 

[denchiq]

BUT that bass is backwards!

Does painting it brown do that?

we seem have even more in common than we thought. We see, think and sneer at exactly same silly things.

 

[denchiq]

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

I checked that in the first place!

 

[denchiq]

Yeah...you just have to send it to Pat and have him put a maple top on it

nah, that would only show the back side

 

[denchiq]

Still love Jauqo's tri-chi bass

So, it must be YOU behind the Burning Earth bass design then! you know, the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

 

[denchiq]

Now guys, I have this idea: what if I change necks between the basses? that would make a alder/maple 55 JJ-CS fretted and an ash/rosewood* 55-94 fretless, thus balancing the highs and low mids on the fretted and adding more versatility to the fretless. Some of you huys have interchanged necks, did that need any fit work?





* I think rosewood, just as I thought ebony. The wood is dense and the color deep and integral, but those tiny cracks make me think choice-grade rosewood

Re: Pole Pieces: When I started to do that mock-up I tried to use this photo. But the angles were wrong, didn't work even with a lot of manipulation.

I used to have a 5502 with Nordies in it.

It sounded awesome...
