Just ordered a 55-60 to go with my 55-02. Too bad I have to wait until probably July for it to be ready.

I just keep playing this one for now.

Very nice man! 55-60 will go very well with this one!

Duh Luke! I suppose what really got me was all the "secrecy" around the situation. How are you liking the "replacement"?

Luke, don't take it personally my LOG brother...

Originally, there was a "Trade feeler" post posted on the LOG forum by Markus. There were several replies before Markus had second thoughts and the thread ended up being locked down by an admin. Afterwards, Markus and I had a PM thread in reference to another unique Lakland bass we both stumbled on that was on the block on TB at the time. A few comments form both sides reignited the discussion about the his "trade feeler" on the LOG. We both came to an agreement and that's about all there was to it.

We both shipped the basses on the same day and both were estimated to be delivered in four days. Luck would have it, I ended up receiving the 4-07 a day early before Markus received mine.

I was a bit hesitant to post a reveal before he received my bass. It didn't seem fair form my point of view. As a subtle clue, Markus suggested that I change my avatar image without comments to see who was paying attention. JJ should receive an award for posting the first suspicion inquiry (within minutes) quickly followed by Greg and then others. If you know me well enough from previous postings, you'd understand how difficult it was for me not to respond directly.

I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone with the apparent "secrecy" of the deal in the works.

That's the long version.

The tone knob was broken when I got it out of the packaging. It's only the plastic, so just cosmetic. I can get another one any time. I think.

I've listened to it again (a bit louder this time ... I discovered it late at night and didn't reach for the headphones) ... it IS great isn't it. Now wondering if I should have got one of those BG5's ... oh dear ....

It is! I listened to it three times already! The breakup sounds awesome! I can get that kind of tone with my BG and Walkabout. Really cool woolly funking tone.

Hell to the Yeah!

Oh, and here's the volume version of the tone knob that was broken... What would be the best way to get a new tone knob?

You could get a hold of Lakland and get some, or go down to guitar center and pick up some fender ones. Did I just use Guitar Center AND Fender in one sentence? :rollno:

I think the odds of me going to Guitar Center are rather slim ;)

I just checked the knobs of my MIM Fender, and they are just plastic, without the brass center. I'd like to have the brass ;)

O, and here's the sound:
