nice Aaron!

Greg - I THINK that is the proto fully graphicized by Markus....

these are really cool...all of the guts of an LH3 in a handy dandy box!

I may get one....maybe.....;)


Look what the FEd Ex fairy dropped off for me yesterday. This thing is amazing. It really brings my JO5CS to life. Amazing!

congrats! that was a killer price!

I know you can get the guts from Hanson easy enough...I would do that but you do have a clean slate to go from...I am interested to see what others say as well!

HELP NEEDED

I'm pumped to be rejoining the Lakland group very soon! However, I have a little dilemma... The new 55-02D I just won on eBay is completely assembled with the exception of the electronics. No pickups, no preamp, no knobs. I got a great deal so I figured it'd be worth it even if I have to order the LH3 system direct from Lakland.

I'm just looking for suggestions of what other pickup/preamp combos you guys have tried with positive results. My last one had the LH3 system, which was killer, but I know there are so many other options. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
 
Hey guys, some of you may have seen this in the classified section for trade....well, I've come to my senses and have decided to keep my black beauty. More than anything, my gut was telling me not to let it go, my wife was telling me not to let it go, and my good friend Chop (who has one of the first Laklands ever made) told me that I would be an idiot to let it go....SO I've spent the entire day holding her in my arms....

For those of you that don't know the story of this bass....This is a 2009 USA Duck Dunn (serial number is under 20) that I got from Dan. It was one his personal favorites...and was special order. It has abalone blocks in the neck. The neck is thin and very narrow. The nut width is 1 7/16". The pics don't do the bass justice, it's not your typical gloss black...it's like a 'grand piano' finish....so I'm glad I came to my senses and decided to keep it.

GREAT decision! congrats on coming to your senses..piano black and sweet abalone are not something you see often on Lakies....
 
Just got my Bob Glaub LE Teal Green back from Lakland...with repaired circuit, new "vintage" Hansons and new case (both the electronics and case being damaged in shipping from Bass Central) and all I can say is wow. Just got back from rehearsal where I got to try it through my new head, a GK 700RB II. My Fralin loaded 50's Classic P and Jazz bass are going to be on vacation...a long vacation. In my correspondence with JP, I mentioned how I wasn't digging the neo's (not that they are bad, but that IMO they suit more modern styles) and he offered to drop in the vintage Hansons for nothing. This is the best customer service I've recieved from just about anywhere, instrument company or not and I can't say thanks enough.

Correct!

The Fam Damly keeps getting nicer and nicer.....starting to see a Pheam (pun on "Theme") there......

Thanks Doude! He he he!

Love that! Markus...meet your new signature:

Ha! Never thought about adding to my sig!

I've heard of the term "to drown in envy"... Somebody throw me a rope! MAGNIFICENT:bassist::bassist::bassist:

HE he he! Thanks man! I appreciate that!
 
Nice to hear! John is one class act!

Sweet!
 
I made a little recording...

Hopefully this works.

I played a YouTube video into my mixer and played along with it.
My P5 with the vintage pickup has all the highs rolled off and the volume is wide open.
I'm playing into a SVT patch and recorded with Audacity.

Excuse the mistakes, I was just trying to get something down...
