LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #49

[BassAgent]

And then it's PLEK'ing, checking and shipping! Would it be here for my birthday? Would it? Would it?

 

[ShowKing]

Are all Lakland hard cases white?

 

[RumbleBeeAL]

Not ALL are white/cream... Back in the early days, tan/brown hard cases were used on US models. Now, they have a newer style that is in Black for Skylines...

Then does that mean white cases for current US models?

 

[RumbleBeeAL]

The answer to that one is going to have to come from someone in a higher pay bracket...

 

[Musicman81]

Then does that mean white cases for current US models?

Yes, the white case is what US Laklands ship in.

 

[MarkusBass]

Yes...light cream.

 

[ShowKing]

Yes...light cream.

mmm delicious

my new USA 55-69 should be done late february apparently.
there's only 10 of them. several will be tetsuya's and one has matching pink quilted maple pickup covers!

good to know mine will come with the white case!

 

[MarkusBass]

Yeah...so awesome!

Unbeatable colour combo.

Get rid of that gigbag fast, though. They're unmitigated ****. As in, my bass fell through the bottom after a year, and only my faster-than-light reflexes saved me from crying over a broken axe in public. I bought a iGig and love it.

 

[MarkusBass]

Nice man! And a rig built by John Holmes! Nice!

LOL! Yeah, I've never heard of that brand before. Is the sound, er, huge?

Seriously, though, that is a sweet, sweet combo on a DJ. Put on a white suit and a white hat and play some Larry Graham.

Are those 12"..... speakers?

 

[Honk'n_down-low]

Be strong. After all, you're the Doude!



??? You're kidding, right?



That sweet blue one is still my fave of your axes... for as long as you have it. You change basses like nobody else I know.

I love the TSB P5 if you ever think of letting that go - give me a shot at it : )

 

[Honk'n_down-low]

I recently heard somewhere Roger DOES NOT have a template for the LOG/55-64 bass. When I was at Lakland on Friday, someone ordered a LOG bass with a tort guard. I won't say who...
Leo told me they are cutting their own guards. In house.
So I am pretty sure Lakland can cut you a guard for a LOG bass.
I don't know what colors they have. Contact Leo

I'm one of the PITA's with the Tort Guard, I ordered that way early last year, the black just does not work for me with the RW. Did you see it, wondering how it looked? I have seen this combo and it always looked great, I am keeping the original guard as well so if I ever part with it - it can be restored to the original black guard. By the way, it was an additional $75.

When I saw it Friday it looked like the guard we cut, but edges were not done, and it was just taped to the body.
Leo made it sound like Kevin(the shop manager) is cutting their guards now in house

Yes those are 12's I believe. That's actually a PA system that my grandfather gave to us because it was taking up space in his basement. We've played various guitars and keyboards through it, and yes, it does sound massive. I've never used a bass through it though, I just thought it would make for a neat picture. If I were to guess, it would offer a very, well, meaty tone

And @roadkill2309 I'm actually using the gigbag to house my backup right now, and have moved my DJ into a hard case. Thanks for the warning on the bag though, I'll pick up a new one asap

Just an FYI, Lakland has moved to a new supplier for their gig bags. I have both single and double versions of the new ones, and they're great (IMO).
