Markus has to come *northeast* next time. Like, across the border.
Hi bass brethern, and sister'n,
I have a 44-60 JO that was made in '99 and has the crosshairs trussrod adjuster (i.e. two slots at right angles, not the more recent allen key version). Is there a specific tool that you use/recommend for making the adjustment? I need to tweek mine and am not sure what tool to get and where to get it. Any online links would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Jim

Phillips head screwdriver... make sure it's at least a #2 phillips or it can strip the screw head.
Hi All,
Just an update to the grounding hum issue I was having. I got the bass back this evening and am happy to report that the grounding hum has been eliminated. Brian from Lakland said that it was a "minor grounding issue with one of the pickups" and that the bass was dead quiet now - and am happy to report it very much is. Kudos to Brian and the rest at Lakland who took care of the issues I was having with the bass and many thanks, first rate CS!

Awesome! Glad it got sorted out man!
Kinda had a quick question about ramps (ala Gary Willis)... I think i wanna try one out on my 4-94. Any advice for making one? pics are of course welcome
Me and my Lakie, last Friday:
Nona - Time To Move On - YouTube --> by the way, this starts with "Last Song", the slower song (after the drum solo) is actually "Time To Move On".
Nona - Long Way - YouTube
Me and her will be on stage again tonight with NONA

That would be fun!!!
Once I get this graphic wrap on my jet, I'll hit the road!
Just let me know. I'll pick you up at the aeroport ;-)
I'm glad you got that worked out. These things can be bloody frustrating. Practically everyone here knows that I'm talking from experience, here...

Good stuff.
Now, did you vaporise your pick or something between songs? It looks and sounds like you're using a pick at the beginning of that first clip, but then you're clearly not once the singing starts...
Just to share the arrive of the first 44-51 to South America.... I test this bass playing old stuff like Blues,Hard Rock and Soul and I was complete amazed with the sound and feel of this bass... Playing more modern music I noticed a more focused and defined sound than my P-Bass ´76... Definitively this bass will be another best seller...
All the best,
Tommy

Gorgeous Tommy!!! Congrats! I'd love to get my hands on one of those!!
I'd bet it sounds fantastic through that Aggie rig too.

What's a Senior H.S. photo shoot without your Lakland
This is my son with his lovely 44-02 that I got him from the TB classifieds for his 16th Bday a couple years ago. Still looking good and going strong.

Nice basses and thanks for sharing the photos!
Correct. I drop it when the heavy riff starts
You just drop it? Dude, that's so hardcore...
I've got a little rubber pick clip that I keep on the mic stand. But I'd have to be pretty lightning fast to switch in the middle of playing, so I guess dropping the pick is a pretty legit approach.
Okay, what; one American thanksgiving and one consumer addict day, and everyone disappears from the Lakland thread? Jebus, give a Canuck a break, willyez?
