LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #46

Status
Not open for further replies.
So, I've been in Illinois for the past few weeks, and I had the opportunity to be a counselor at a Rock Camp for kids in Champaign-Urbana IL for a week.

At the end of the week, the kids play a show at one of the nicer clubs in town and us "old guys" get to get up on stage and play a couple tunes as well.

So here's links to a couple of the songs we did - Cheap Sunglasses and a stripped down, rocked out version of Superstition. For both clips, you're hearing and seeing my 55-01 with Nordy Fat Stacks and 3 band pre running through a Putnam modded VT-Bass out into the house. Stage Rig was a Traynor XS400H through an old Trace Elliot cabinet.

Don't mind my flubs...

Lovin' that tone on Superstition, just what the doctor ordered.
 
I have a chance to get a 5594 with Barts. Which pup do you guys like and is there a real big difference between the Bsrts and Lak pups? Also, if offered, would you get a 34 or 35 scale?

First off...as stated by Markus - there are only 35" scale 55-94s (really)...there are a few rare 34" out there but....they are rare....

as for the sound....it all depends on what you are after...as JJ states in the next post, the early Barts seem to have more high end (at least to my ears) than the newer ones....(what year is the bass you are looking at?)....since the early 2000s or so, the barts seem to have a "darker" tone....

the LH3 on the other hand, is more "punchy" and appear to have more high end (at least to my ears)....

Today was a great day. My first Lakland Arrived. 5502black/maple.

I am totally amazed at how great it sounds.... I was warned that Lakies are contagious and u guys were right...

I never thought Id play anything but Musicman...Not that I dont still love my musicman, but I LOVE my Lakie too..The B is of the hook.

Where do I get a #?
 
Hi J, I'm currently playing this one with my 'old school of funk group. I see you were having a nice time at stage ;)

I've had my 55-02 D for about a month now and absolutely love it. What a great instrument. Warmth, versatility, excellent construction, power, and beauty.
Cool, glad you're diggin' it! Feel free to send a PM to basspraiser if you want a number, and check out Link Removed for more info and discussion.
 
If you have fun...the crowd has fun! I say dance your a$$ off!
Dance like you've never danced before!:D

Yeee, I really like movin' on stage rather staying quiet... :hyper:
Actually, I tend to move around a lot, too.:)
