1) see if the squire one fits
2) price out a fender
3) call Leo and see what teh charge would be
4) make the best call (financially and site wise)...

all black huh? I think I needs me some pics!

Not a bad idea, I just thought that if its the EXACT same part, Lakland might charge me way more than an aftermarket Fender part might cost me....that and I already have one from a Squier in my parts drawer :ninja: :hiding:

I might even keep the control plate black, who knows? The JO5 is black with a black 'guard and a maple FB. It has a Sadowsky preamp installed, which will be interesting.
 
yahoo Brian!

I knew they would take care of you....

:D

Hey all, just thought I would update with what's going on with the Lakness Monster's LH3/ground hum issue. I've been in contact with Brian over at Lakland and it's being shipped back to the mothership to be looked at. It will be a couple of weeks before it gets back to me, but very happy to report that Lakland has been great about making sure I'm getting taken care of. Kudos to them for great CS.
 
I'll have to give Brian a call, since all three of mine are a'hummin. Glad you are getting things worked out...and I'm just keeping my hand on the strings for now.

Yes, you were correct sir, Brian was very cool about everything and seemed genuinely concerned about getting the issues taken care of - even the torqued down treble pot that is off a few degrees from vertical.

Have you tried switching to passive mode? I found that when I did that, the hum stopped. Just curious if this was happening on others LH3's.
 
I have had the pleasure of dealing with brian for years now. He is a real stand up guy. Always going the extra mile for me. I have had deals with other companies and I haven't had one that has treated me or others as good as lakland.
 
Markus' bass reminds me of the very first bass that I ever picked up way back when. Our bass player had just purchased it, and I wanted to check it out - a Gibson EB2 - must have weighed about 13 pounds! It wasn't Sonic Blue, but had a very similar shape.
 
Yeah, I just figured the thread needed a little [less] dignity is all :-)

Always!

Cool! 13 pounds..yikes!
 
Those of you that have a 55-01 could you please tell me the weight?

I'm considering getting one but in my old age weight has become a factor I cannot ignore...

Thanks in advance

Oh yeah... I cant find any near to where I live so it will have to be an internet buy... so no try-ee before buy-ee
