That could end up being a page or 2 in it's self!
And you know it'll be chalk full of very useful Lakland information!
The end of the Doude Wave?
However, to those that suggest a subforum for the LOG, may I remind you of laklandowners.com
EDIT: I'm guilty of time travel. I probably should have read through the thread first huh
Now bring on the (next) Multi-Nami!
No Pics No Ferg!I love the Pics
I do HATE when the same pic is quoted 10 times...
Sorry folks, this doesn't happen to me often.
After two weeks of scheduling problems, and three hours in traffic to my favorite state (NOT!!!!), I finally picked up Amber.
Doug....did you ever play this thing?
Its like showroom new. I love that new bass smell.
I'll be honest, I wanted to see the former Blondie since her facelift I didn't even look at Amber there.
I did not really see her till I got her home.
This thing is......Just look for yourselves
Amber and Bob
SCHWING!!!!!!
I find it most helpful to read if you respond after the post, otherwise it's like watchin Jepordy.
I don't think anyone said that this thread is "not good for TB" but when the thread gets bumped often by off-topic chatter, other threads with discussion on Basses get bumped down. Other members have complained about this. Multiquoting is not a forum rule, but please use your best judgment about responding (and think about other members of TB who are also interested in other threads).
For example, when a user responds to every single post (substantive or not) that took place after his or her last one in separate posts, often in one word replies, it does not strike me as necessary. It serves to bury other threads in the forum and boost individual post count but doesn't inform people who are genuinely interested in Laklands. The thread becomes filled with more filler posts than actual posts related to basses.
In that kind of situation, multiquoting (or simply not responding to everybody) seems like a good idea to me. When responding substantively to different questions or topics, I can see where it makes more sense to respond in separate posts. I think this type of consideration will also make these threads more readable, which is something members have complained about previously.
Since this post is not bass-related and since off-topic chatter posts are discouraged in the Basses forum rules (see here) please, let's get back to discussion of Lakland Basses. As always, feel free to write any of the forum mods or admins with concerns.

I agree, Denis--flats feel that way to me, too. They're a little more forgiving of my left-hand technique. On the other hand, I find I need to focus a little more than usual on right-hand touch and timing, because the notes are shorter and fatter.
