Lakland Owners Group #51

Thanks so much dude! I really appreciate it!

No problem! And i forgot to mention that as a general rule I don't like sparkle/metallic flake finishes.

This, however, is on another level.

I think it's the only 'elegant' (IMO) sparkle finish I've seen, or at least in recent memory. No offense to the guys who love their sparkly basses!

 

[E-Mac]

Uuuughh...Another bass for us to be jealous of! Best of luck with her, she's beautiful


On a side note, does anyone know how common US fretless Glaubs are on the used market? I have a Fretless Ric that I love, but I'm dying for that Juan Alderete fretless P sound...might as well do it with a Lakie!

Juan uses a fretless DJ with a p pickup at the neck... he used to use a fretless Fender P/J, but the j pickup was aftermarket

Very nice Bass (and shoes)! No need to be shy at all...

Thanks! Yeah...I wanted to hit the mark right in between flashy sparkle and not.

I've been around a LOT of Laklands over the past four years, and I pay special attention to P basses since they're my favorites. I hate to say it, but I have yet to see a fretless one.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm so into the P sound right now, that I'm nearly dying of GAS for a Lakie fretless P....

I know I could go with the other brand, but I love my LOG bass P5 so much right now, why would I switch brands?

Thanks Denis!

Although I still think the Decade is the worst looking bass Lakland makes (but that's just a matter of taste), that sparkle finish is really cool!

Just a heads up to the European Lakie Fans:

No hard feelings, right? I still own a Lakland and I love it and I play it a lot, so I'm still ok

 

[rayzak]

Another unique beauty, Marcus! LOVE IT!!

Just picked up used '03 DJ4... I think it has aero pickups. Sound really wonderfull... More aggressive than most passive jazzbasses that im used to, and little "fuller". I had one gig already with this one and its coming to next gig also
