LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #45

[denchiq]

PM to clarify!

gotcha! no problem bro!

 

[bamabass]

gotcha! no problem bro!

Awesome...how have you been bro?

 

[denchiq]

THAT WOULD BE UTTER PERFECTION!!!

LOL, well you ARE pretty vain.... you were too good to even look at the HOT Knoxville ladies that we encountered at Barleys! Like you think I don't realize that you LOVE armpit hair on a woman!



I kinda like the newer upper horn... the older DJ had a... I dunno... a "less than excited" look to it, LOL.

JJ on fire

 

[denchiq]

so the only difference is in the curve of the horn... cool

I THINK the newer horn is a tad shoter (16th fret vs. the 15th fret). coupled with a changed strap button position that could provide new sensations. Not THAT much but...

he is less than excited because he was at Barleys in K-Ville

 

[denchiq]

Awesome...how have you been bro?

you probably know I returned from Austria last week... You're going to Zuerich which is pretty close. Well EVERYTHING is close in that part of Europe, LOL. A few [dozen] pints would be cool!

No big bass news really.
The neck on the 55-94 is changing its relief swiftly and drastically. I had to adjust it twice this month, last time ysterday, while Nessie asked for no adjustment whatsoever.
Also, I have redone copper foil shielding on Nessie that I had removed trying to figure if it was hindering any highs.
Also, tried GHS nickel flats on Nessie. I only have a 4-string set so the B is still a round Lakland stainless. Odd...
The flat nickels are a tad brighter tho.

What's new with you?

 

[denchiq]

I wasn't sure at first...but it grew on me.

it's a spector take on the jazz bass. Admit it.

 

[denchiq]

now...clarify - do WHAT with Shadowfax???

I'm afraid to even assume things that came to your mind... well, I'm intrigued... but afraid too

 

[denchiq]

REAL tasty!

you must have had that repainted......me likey alot!!!

actually, I like it the way it is too. Something fresh, it catches the eye.

 

[bamabass]

Well, a lot of travel for work. On the road more than I like, but I still have a job. I am in Europe for a couple of weeks and then China for 3 weeks.

Bass wise, the 55 bug has bit me. I have 3 deluxes now, and wishing I had the coin to nab shadowfax. Nice basses, but no time to play them...lol

Have you tried Chromes on Nessie?

It all about rounding....mm are MUCH more precise than inches.....or fractions thereof...

they TRIED in teh mid-70s to convert us to metric...and I had 2 years or so in grade school where we only did metric....I guess us thick-headed americans could not switch and we were back on the english system again!

well it was the expression that Gus used that totally possessed and controlled my mind
millimetres is a smaller measure that's probably why it seems more precise.
I have been thinking about measuring the Chi casings for a while, just in case, ummm, you know...of changing the innerds... but nevermind... I was just trying to be friendly and helpful (which I was) etc.etc.

what do you do for your job? Is it Switzerland and GB only in Europe?
The 55 is great stuff! I love it. The only thing, the neck of the 44 is more comfy for me, just tailored for my hands

No, haven't tried chromes yet. I'm trying to get more highs out of her (she's absolutely stunning in the low end), but also trying to protect the fretboard, thus experimenting with flats

I am a hydraulic engineer, but now I am just management...lol. My sole function is to go to meetings. If things go well in the UK and Switzerland, we have one more set of meetings outside of Paris, but that is dependent on the the other meetings.

If you want more highs, I would say try chrome flats. They kill. I have them on my Glaub and will only use those now.

 

[denchiq]

woah......PM me on who gave which quote...just interested that is all...

I will assume $280 is at the place where Randy had 'Bootsie's Dream' brought to life

 

[bamabass]

I am also going to get a set of Chromes for my 55-02D Fretless

oh, when I was in the USA one of the members of the group was a guy from a pump plant here in Kataysk (it's near Kurgan). I remember him having most trouble with visas and everything, because he had been in Iraq, Iran and all those 'inconvenient' places. His passport was full of countries.
What brand of chromes do you choose and why? Have you tried other brands chrome flats as well?

I use D'addario....and that is what my passport looks like too...lol

I chose them because they were on sale in a bin at Guitar Center for $5.00....lol. I loved them and have never tried any others

Thanks Matty!

 

[denchiq]

Well, maybe I should modify the Darryl Jones Club thread and add the new 44-75 (The Lakland Darryl Jones / 44-75 Club)...

good idea. and not only formal grounds (as in case with other models)
