AT LAST,

NBD: LOG LE converted to PJ stacked VT/VT from the hands of Carl!
It is one gorgeous bass, indeed. I only played half an hour and it sounds just great. Maybe not dyed-in-the-wool P sound, but nothing that can't be changed with a tone knob
The bridge J is dead silent - I know Carl had something special on his mind as he told me so. More of the 60-ies sound

Now get this: a BEM neck on a Skyline. Not the fretboard, as I got me the great B&B rosewood one, but the back of the neck. Pure awesomeness!

Anyway, this bass doesn't [officially] exist until I get some pics. Will do it later.

The bad part: my wife kinda didn't realise that I as bying a new bass so she's not talking to me now. So back to remodelling the bathroom, and I better do it right! :D

the other bad part: the preamp didn't arrive, will have to clear up the things










P.S. Thanks John!

Had a great two set, two band show at the Crossroads in Garwood, NJ last night. This was a reschedule of our "Irene" show.

First set was a 30 minute instrumental set, over photographs by my good friend, Marco Catini (Welcome to MARCO CATINI PHOTOGRAPHY). Here the calm before the storm. (that's my wife on the left on electric cello...yes, we are an f-clef family!)

Second was the Link Removed. Marco was in the audience, getting some great shots. I really like this one.

It was a great night. Nothing beats playing original music. We had a packed house for our sets. The sound engineer there has his stuff together, and can pretty much deal with almost anything bands throw at him. Lakland love was in full effect from my end - Stock 55-02 on the first set, Nordy dual-coil+OBP-3 equipped 55-01 on the second. Total tonal fun.

Both groups will be recording live the sets we played at some point in the coming months. I'll post when those are out.

wow....nice stealthy family! I think someone likes black and tan!



GREAT looking bass! I agree...clear is the way to go! just curious...is that a Skyline or US?

problemo solved!!!! I agree...



I agree...electroplate or see if Hipshot can get you one...and replace the tuners on the Geddy while you are at it (or get a Lakland 44-60 instead!)

Crossroads is a fine establishment. Played there a few times. Get the alligator balls!!! Delicious! Great place for dinner and a show. Sound is good as well as the food.

1) I agree ...money does not necessarily mean a good bass.....that has been proven many times....I agree that Squier CVs are as good as or better than some Fenders out there...

2) glad to know is "should fit"

3) I like your thoughts on buying a true Lakie Body....not sure if Lakland would sell a Skyline body or not...they usually come with the entire bass and I know Lakland cleaned house before moving so not much "left over parts" any more...

look for a body in the classifieds?

Thanks. I had forgotten how nice and flat Lakland necks are. I dont really pay much attention to the body of my basses. As long as they look nice then im happy, whereas the neck is a very personal thing.

Ill keep my eyes peeled for a Lakland body body but also quite fancy a 3TSB when i can find one.
Now i know the neck pocket doesn't have to be perfect i feel im getting closer to my idea bass.

yahoo....they do "grow on ya" don't they?

Kinetic Shadow said:
Yes I do enjoy playing each member of Der Schwarzwald.

Thanks, but tis not a Geddy, tis an American Deluxe Jazz with NJ4's and am quite happy with it as is.

Funny, how many people are chiming in that all the hardware must be the same color. Personally I don't agree, but that's just me. To put high contrast black tuners on a maple neck would make the look less "stealthy" IMO.

Lastly, I am working with Lakland to see if they can do a custom order for a US bridge in black - thanks for all the suggestions.

"Der Schwarzwald"...ya baby!!!

sorry about calling the US Fender a Geddy.....LOVE that one....one day i will get Lakland ot make me a Lakie US "Geddy 5er"....not sure about the hardware...maybe black, maybe chrome!

Sweet - I know lakland is cool to deal with....there are numberous requests....maybe this will become an "option!"
