LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #46

[G On Bass]

Wow. Lots of stuff going on here today.

I be gettin' me new (to me) 55-02 in the marnin'. Gonna be busy swapping strings around. Chromes from the 55-60CS back to the 55-57 P/J thing. Fodera Nickels from the 55-57 P/J thing to the 55-02, then maybe some broken in nickels to the 55-60 (until I can get to the Carvin store for $15 nickels long enough to go though the body.

Things just seem weird here.
Like the "vibe" has been killed.

[basspraiser]

Just a new VIBE that is all.....

BTW - for those of you who did not notice/didn't care..of just were simply not paying attention.....I pulled the sale of Woody...the GREAT bass I WAS gonna buy is no longer on the market so no reason to sell Woody...the person I was gonna buy it from was having pre-sellers remorse with GOOD reason....


And after spending some quality time comapring Jade and Woody, I have decided that they are different enough to keep.

And - Blue Velvet seems to be the name that is sticking for this wonderful piece of artwork:

Hopefully popping into a summer job coming up, and my cash might go into a Lakland. The 44-... and 55-... body styles have awlways really interested me.

you would not have any regrets, trust!!!

I still like them most of all
Also, Brian the sales rep replied to me that the 94/02 basses fretted and fretless were and are the most sold ones

Hey is this where I can find qualitative information about Lakland Basses?

 

[denchiq]

Remember- using Multi-Quote lets you post just as much info as before. Only the post count is reduced.

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.

For goodness sake, it's like the opinion is evolving that people are deliberately posting for the sake of their post count.
I, indeed, have said that a number of times about myself, but least expected was that someone would take my self-irony for the truth

It is THE place. Be informed such will be provided at your post count expense and to your own risk, LOL

I never make the list when a thread is closed so post counts are not what I am after - good solid Lakland Porn is why I come here

So what was what was the ex-seller selling? C'mon Doude, spill the beans

Haha, you're not alone

 

[denchiq]

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.

SCHWING!!!!!!

John, absolutely enormous (size 7) congrats!
Doug, I don't understand why [this happened], but the good thing is Amber is now in the hands of a good friend oooh how much I'd love to be that lucky person, and possibly will see more playing


And, she really deserved more pics!

I hear that Sherwood Green BGs are fairly rare.
Just saw last night that someone was selling it in Russia. I wonder whom it belongs/belonged to

 

[denchiq]

Denis: not sure that D'addario makes any other flats besides Chromes... so I'm puzzled. But, either way, pay whatever it costs! They only get better w/ age.... you'll use the same set for many years.

Really? I may give them a try, only will try to get them for less... geeez, for MUCH less money. Will find out what kind of D'As beside Chromes they were talking to

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.

Exactly. So far I found one way to compensate lack of "fullness" - I pick over the fretboard when I need a thick, authoritative sound to fill when other instrument is playing solo. Think -94's 'sixties' J position w/ pan knob set to 11 o'clock

[screaminglucy]

just got this back from the factory. they replaced the body under warranty and were kind enough to leave out the pickguard holes

they forgot to ship the case back but i'm sure they'll fix that

Posting for post count is completely lame. I'm usually at the top, but I just talk a lot

Me too! (thinking of the porn I just removed)

how 'bout this one?

Love it man! Decades without guards take on a whole different look!


OK...I'm spent.

 

[JoshB]

man, whodathunk that Lakland owners would be so whiney when asked to do something!

I vote for more pictures personally...although, I need to take some good ones of my 55-01 sometime very soon. Maybe when it's not so freaking hot outside!
