I was on Leo's Gear and I saw the G&L L-1000 and now I'm having major GAS on that....
But I must remain constant and get a Lakland as my next bass!!!

I want your 55-02D fretless. That's a seriously nice bass.here are some new family pics.
yeah, once my travels slow down, I will get it in for a neck and headstock refinish, and hopefully get a JO with a B and B neck too! Then a decade and a HB and................................
Congrats on the promotion!!! Nice family lineup.
Are you interested in upgrading your 55-01D to a 55-02D Cherry SunBurst with Maple FB and Bart pups?
You don't want your 55-01 feeling left out now do you...
Congrats Aaron!! We'll have to get together again sometime after you move.
Met Milky (he just moved to Knoxville) at Barleys last night... the ladies were MUCH nicer than when we went!!

I'm growing to like playing fingerstyle funk in the passive mode of my 55-94. Who would expect from me! Bridge coil, pan at 10-11 o'clock isn't exactly the sound in my head (a bit shallow when at 10; a bit less burpy at 11), but it's very close, and does the deal when in the mix. I like it better than in active for that purpose.
Why, I might end as adept of the passive bass
Also, I learned there's a reggae band in my town. I'd love me some reggae...
Hey JJ, wouldn't shadowfax just look awesome in that trio of 55's. You just send her to me for the pure humanity of it all.
Well, you HAVE been offered her MANY times LOL, and at a fair price too...
maybe we should just work out a trade for your amber??
Hey guys....I am home! I found out while I Was gone that I got a promotion and will be relocating to Chattanooga, TN. I am about an hour south of there now, so not a huge deal. Played my 55-01D through my Genz rig and it sounded great. I am still going to mod it as it has some pre-amp issues. I should have a new family pic posted soon. Also, if anyone knows of any Chi'd Jazz basses that may be up for sale, let me know.
A-pardon me Bama, is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?
Ohh hey guys.! I just received my chrome metal knobs and I changed it as soon as I got a flat head screwdriver..
Here's the outcome..

What a beauty....although I am a fan of the standard knobs. Love the grain on that one. I wonder if I should trade Amber for one like that. I am a sucker for rosewood (Amber is maple) and it would match my fretless perfectly. GAS!!!!
Or, you could try one of the following indicator methods:
1) Use a gig to hold the knobs and drill press to drill a very shallow 1/6" Dia. hole and fill with black touch-up paint or even dark colored crayon - wipe off excess.
2) Use a hack saw to cut a small slot into the corner from the top to the side of each knob.
Either way, this would provide a permanent mark for use as an indicator.
