Doude, you didn't even comment on my post about getting rid of Amber (#410, I think)!
Welp, looks like the HB is gonna go back to the shop for a checkup. Brian sent me over the wiring diagram, and after taking a good long look, I couldn't really find anything out of place on it that would explain my problem with the bridge pickup in single-coil mode.
Guess my 4402 will be happy to be getting the majority of my attention again![]()
Man, that trans-white is gorgeous.
Couldn't help but share a pic of my new 55-60. Been hunting for a solid J. Sounds killer.

Suh-weet, Aaron! Trans-white and Randy Orange are great finishes, I've seen both in person.Hey guys, been out for a few weeks, but thought I would share what showed up over vacation.

Yeah, trans white is one of my all time favorite colors. It's really hard to capture in photos. Looks like rich, creamy, white chocolate.... yummy.
Beautiful bass, Bama!!!
I traded my $adowsky Metro MV4 towards my Natural JO. I don't regret the trade at all, but I miss staring at that Metro finish![]()

When I grow up I want to be able to multi-quote,
Just Like Doug...
Randy Orange ?? What did I miss?![]()
Ha!Sounds like a porn star name.
Well, I'll be dogged. that Doudewave was even longer than I thought...
Yeah, Dan had promised to replace Amber North way over a year ago because of my problems, then forgot about me. I was so p1553d at Lakland that I first played my gigs with some tape over the headstock logo, then retired her when I got my P bass. JP's gone a long way towards making me a happy Lakland owner again. I'm waiting to get the time to give the new one a setup, then I'll take her out on the town.

Randy Orange does indeed sound like a porn star name.
I think we should start a poll to see if we can get Markus to rename his JO from Orange Crush to Randy!
BTW, was watching a talkshow last night (Rob Brydon's new show for ppl in the UK) which finished with Tom Jones singing a new song.
Bass player in the backround was holding a Lakland!
But it was a bit unusual. I'll describe it and see what you think.
Joe Osborne or Bob Glaub body, I'm not sure. Think it was JO.
USA model.
4 string.
Sonic Blue with a white pearl pickguard (how 90's pop is that?!)
P/J pickup configuration.
It sounded absolutely killer!
Just thought you guys would like to know of a rare Lakland sighting in the wild!
BTW, if you want to see it, the program's at:
