Hey, this used to be your bass too! This thing gets around...

I can honestly say...I swear....I NEVER....NEVER...played that bass....EVER!!!!!.
And I don't know why....just never did.

Now I bought another, and love it!!!!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Yeah buddy!

Awesome!! Congrats!

 

[basspraiser]

Well, Doude has a rare skill at acquiring special lakkies, but I dunno about this one...

"rare skill" ???? not really...that title belongs to Markus! I am just "lucky - right place right time...empty wallet"....LOL!

I seem to forget the "empty wallet" part and have to EXPLAIN it when i get home!

Ok. I just ordered a 5494 34" and glaub PJ 34" from Brian Barrett at the LowEnd. John decided to build some after Brian talk to him at Summer Namm. Brian told how much buisness he has turned away because they only make 5 string Lak's in 35". So, thank Mr. Barrett for his kind words also. LOL Brian's will be the first ones to come actually from Lakland.

COOL! congrats! sounds like a nice pair!

just curious...what did he quote on a lead time? I know JP is trying to get that down a little...

 

[basspraiser]

Orgasm!

HEY! you are too young for that!!! LOL!

 

[basspraiser]

It doesn't make any difference to my left (fretting) hand, but it makes a hell of a difference to my plucking hand. The change in string tension, particularly in the D and G strings, is pretty significant to me, and although I could use a 35" scale just fine on a gig or for recording, my preference by far is for 34" scale.

Anyway, I hope we don't rehash the whole Is-Scale-Length-Important topic in this thread (there are plenty that do that already), but the issue of what this means for Lakland's identity is certainly relevant. To me, one man's adherence to identity/tradition is another man's inability to adapt. Dan Lakin felt that 35" scales were best suited for his designs, which is certainly a fine choice for starting out, when he simply couldn't afford to have a bunch of different designs on hand. But now that Lakland is a well-known, marketable brand, IMO, it would have benefitted them to have offered 34" scales some time ago to appeal to people who want the Lakland sound but at a feel that is more traditional.

Of course, Roger Sadowsky has made a fine career out of building 34" scale basses, and I doubt he's inclined to start offering 35" scales. However, Roscoe, MTD, Skjold, Nordstrand, Valenti, and countless other companies offer multiple scale lengths (admittedly, some may require an upcharge), and I'd bet most would view it as an option/feature to attract a wider market as opposed to a hindrance.

thanks all for the clarification...JP explained the differnce to me a little while I was there but I think this helped out more as well...

I never seemed to have trouble going between the 2 but I now get something based on teh G and D string tension you mentioned in your post.....I am NOT a popper or slapper BUT I DID find it easier to do a little poppin on my 4 strings and the same moves are NOT as easy on my 5 string basses...the sound is not as crisp - must be the higher tension! NOW I get it! I have to work on it more now...

 

[Supertanker]

It has been a while.....about time to list the entire lot again!

Who's number 1?

 

[E-Mac]

nubbs

 

[aus_bass]

Hook me up with a number. Skyline 44-01 here, slowly making it's way to being my No.1 player.

Sweet! congrats!

PM me for an official number and I will get right back to you!

also, have you checked out: Link Removed yet? there are a few other Aussies on there!

nubbs

oops....yeh.....I guess he kinda "fell off the list".....kinda like he fell off of TB!

 

[diglo]

Not sure about time. Brian said he would check for me. I'ma say 3 months, just taking a guess. I really don't know how long it takes for them to make a bass. First one being made.

COOL! congrats! sounds like a nice pair!
