LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #48

Happy Thanksgiving fellow bassists!!!

Uh, thanks, but the giving was last month...

EDIT: Oh right, I forgot that US Thanksgiving is a month later than ours. Sorry. Happy Thanksgiving to the guys south of the border. Er... happy Yanksgiving?

 

[p-time bass guy]

i'd go with the Tort. i think the tort goes better witht the neck

Lakland rounds can be had as Stainless Steel or Nickel.

Ahh okay. A more specific question then.

I've just acquired a 55-02 strung with factory rounds. The guy who ordered it didn't specify strings as either steel or nickel and has no idea what they are.

Any ideas what they might be by default ?

(They sound (too) bright to me, but that could be the difference between my fretted 2005 55-94 deluxe and fretless 2008 55-02 standard. I'm guessing they're steels and I could benefit from a switch to nickels)

gray silk = steel, red silk = nickel

 

[roadkill2309]

gray silk = steel, red silk = nickel

And do all models come with steels, do you know? I know both my 55-02s did.

 

[BigBeatNut]

gray silk = steel, red silk = nickel

Thought so ... I have steels. Thanks

 

[MarkusBass]

All come with steels unless you request nickels. No problem! Glad I could help!

 

[roadkill2309]

BTW, Markus, aren't you just about due for inventing another Lākland colour?

EDIT: Uh, where's Doug?

 

[MarkusBass]

He he he! I do have a lot in my head!

 

[MarkusBass]

Doug is probably stuffed like a turkey, passes out on the couch hugging one of his Laklands

Just checking. I was away for a while, so I wasn't sure if he'd gone walkabout or something.

Did a certain Panda get a Lakky while I was out in the bush, or will some things never change?

 

[MarkusBass]

Ah...gotcha. No on the certain Panda. Poor Panda

I'd be playin' my new BG5, but my gut's too big right now.

Tell you what: My thanksgiving was last month, so I've lost some of that turkey weight and can wear a bass again. I'll be over in about twelve seconds to play around with your Lakkie, your Sadowsky and... well, pretty much every wicked bass you own.

You'll know when I'm there. I'll be the one ringing te doorbell like a kid with a penchant for tantrums.

 

[Chef]

front door's open.
too much tryptophan to stop you.
the mesa rig is in the back room, with the basses.
