I JUST about 30 mins ago bought my first Lakland. :hyper:
It is a U.S.A. 44-07
Should arrive on the FedEx truck a day or two before Christmas!
Ho Ho Ho feeling festive all of a sudden :cool:

Been gassing over the U.S.A. Laklands for awhile now.
Finally get to see what it is all about in a week.

ooooo that's hot.
*where's that drooly icon?!*
 
Happy Holidays to you too, my friend! Glad I could influence you towards Lakies. And Markus is a good (or is that dangerous?) person to talk to about Laklands! The US necks are killer, and the Chis sound sweet with that pre--enjoy!

Also, check out what I just picked up Wednesday after a five-month wait.:bassist: Link Removed

Yes I did recall talking about your Laklands back when I purchased that Classic Ray from ya.
That was a stunning bass, I often wish I kept it.
Thus the reasoning behind ALMOST picking up that EL Dorado Gold Classic I mentioned today.
But then along came this Lakland...annnnd.....hahaha!!
Looking forward to the adventure! :bassist:
Beautiful surf green addition to your collection! Congrats!
 
Can't wait for my new 55-02 to come in. In about 10 days, I'm gonna post some side-by-side action of two of the finest quilt top 55-02s out there. My amber quilt top rivals many US 55-94s, and my newest cherry burst is damn sexy, too! Ah hell, I'll post the cherry one now for the hell of it.

This one, the quilt is a little more subtle than on my amber. Makes deciding which one I keep all the harder... of course, this one is also closer to 9 lbs while the other is 10.

Life is good Trevor....Life is good!

you are allowed 1 "off brand" bass in the collection...but only 1!

I just picked up a sweet 2005 BG for my bro-in-law pretty reasonable....

Nice to be seen! :D

yeah, i'm feeling the pain too. been on the lookout for a nice P, but low funds have me looker at other, lesser brands (ones that start with "F" and end with "ender") :hmm:

however, on the bright side, I've got TI Super Alloys on my Decade, TI Jazz Flats on my JO (or 44-60, if i must), and a fairly satisfying rig behind me (which explains my absence) so life isn't all that bad ;)
 
some of the Ambers have sick quilting for sure!!!

any way to keep both? jes sayin!

love the cherry! (and miss my Amber!)

I think she arrives on Santas sleigh on Christmas eve? Maybe the day before if lucky? Get tracking number for Fedex ground on Monday.
She has a long trek from the Colorado mtns to the streets of New Yawk. Fingers and eyeballs firmly crossed she travels safely :)

And Markus...inside joke bro...Friday is garbage day...LMAO :)
 
I'm partial to the cherry burst myself. Photographs nicely.

Note how my photographer friend somehow got the Lakland brand to be clear, while everything else was blurry. I should be an endorser. :)
(Though, I also note that the top on my bass in this shot could be flaming crotch maple :hiding:)

+1 on being partial to cherryburst :D

And that's a suhweet shot there brotha Hess

edit: Hmmm... I think I have that same shirt. It takes a real man to rock paisley!

Welcome Dan (mrfstop) to the Lakland family. I personally feel good that I was partly enabling for your lakland transaction. My two fav brands are well represented now at my house.
