I meant right hand. I'm not really that confused, just the old drill sergeant trick of calling your right my left as I'm staring at the screen. DOH!
headstock? Marcus, you're a graphics person. I mentioned to Pat Wilkins (www.wilkinsguitars.com) that it seemed to me that dark basses w/ maple boards needed, from an asethic point of view, that dark headstock to give the bass an asthetic "yin/yang" balance.
I had him shoot the headstock in dark currant pearl as well. I'm curious to see if a Lakland sticker reappears! But it had to be done, imho.
Am I high? Or do I SUCK like Grateful!?

He usually will put a Lakland sticker on there. He has Lakland's OK to do that, even though it's the US sticker, not the 'Skyline' one.
I was making a reference to JJ's room for one more guard as a joke, but since we are talking about matching headstocks. For me...I generally like matching headstocks with rw boards, but I had a black DJ with a maple board, and liked it too....really depends on the color, and how busy the rest of the bass is. Yeah....he will put the Lakland logo back on the headstock.
Aside from the great playing and sound, that clip just reminds me of how brilliant Dan and the rest of the early crew were in choosing the oval bridge, immediately identifies that bass as awesome, haha.
Good find Orlando

One of my coils is nonfunctional on the back pup of my 55-94. Its an LH3 system. Ive left messages at Hanson and Lakland to no avail. I just want to buy another pup. Any suggestions on who to speak to?

Oh but some folks think that bridge makes em look hideous and ugly! LM*@O!!
I didn't dig the bridge at first, but now it's like you said.
Rocked out tonight with my singer/guitar player friend and a new drummer. Drummer's a soul/gospel player with a sick NASTY pocket... he really brought such a unique perspective into the prog-punk thing we've been doing. First thing he said was "man, that bass sounds killer!" The LOG bass strikes again!
She just kills in the mix!

Awesome bro! Love jamming w/ new drummers that have that "it" that just makes your head bob and funky stuff just fly outta your bass!
Yep!
I'm playing a sold out show at the end of the month.
It's gonna be LOG bass all the way...
I love the way the frets are crowned.
They make a sizzle/stinging sound when you hit 'em just right...

For the record, my American Standard came with a great high-mass bridge that also looks really swish.
Just bought a Lakland Skyline 55-01 from a fellow TB'er this morning. Can't wait until it gets here. My first 5 as well.
