Well if anyone else can actually get ahold of them and is ordering a t-shirt for themselves maybe they can throw one in for me and I will send them the money. After three emails I think I feel like I would be pestering them. They obviously will get back to me whenever they have time.
Seems like these should be available on the web site/store, but who knows maybe that's a black hole too. 
I'll knit a few Lakland tees from dragon scales and virgins' tears if anyone wants. They'll likely cost significantly more, though...
There's a joke in there somewhere about virgins in a specific locale...
Then you'd retort with "that's why it's so expensive"
LOL, ROTFL, LMFAO...
heh. whooo.... good times.
He's taken my color preferences and ideas and come up with another winner!!
It will be as sparkly as my Stingray which he also designed.
here's a pic to show the sparkle:
And here's what the mockup of my 44 looks like!!!!
I'll be contacting Marty Bell asap to make sure he will do it, but it shouldn't be a problem

So I got my Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom all set up with Sadowsky flatwounds. I'm really pleased. This bass was so loud, punchy and bright for a P, that the flats really made a big difference. However, the bass still sounds very alive (my Fender kind of went a little dead with the flats for my taste). So it really has turned out to be a nice match. Very focused, very warm, and still has a nice tonal range. Practice next Tuesday, so I'll be taking it out with the band for more testing.

Bootsy would approve!

I order some string from the Lakland web store and they sent them out very quickly. But the shirts were not posted for sale.
dragon scales eh? seems like I'm not the only one who's been playing skyrim.. can't play bass anymore though I took an arrow in the hand

Thanks JJ!
They that Neo Punch sounds killer with flats! Glad you're diggin'!
Yeah I've never seen anything posted there except strings, would be nice to see more goodies for sale. Tee shirts, straps, bumper stickers, iron on tats...
Hey guys, just a quick q. Looking at getting a local tech to throw in a passive tone control in my 07, but I'm not sure if you need a specific 'lakland' circuit for it, or if any tone circuit will do. any pointers on what to look for? or do I need to order the specific mod?

I've avoided Skyrim because I don't want to neglect my family. heh... Uh, and I'm not finished with Dragon Age II yet. And I kinda need to practise bass on occassion.

GOOD
How could you not! I think they'd just come out the second you pick it up!!!
Can't wait to see some pics of the finished product!
Hey guys, I'm newer to the realm of Lakland, and I don't personally own a Lakland, but have played them several times and like the look of them. That being said, I'm really interested in a P-bass type Lakland such as a skyline Bob Glaub or anything else that Lakland makes that's got the p-bass set-up. If anyone is looking to trade their p-bass style Lakland for a USA Limited Edition Fender Jazz with a matching headstock and some minor wear please let me know. I could be interested in a Lakland p-bass style instrument with chi-sonics too.
On a side note from my fishing, has anyone tried the chi-sonics in a Glaub or other p-bass style Lakland? I tried it in the MTD-Lakland Skyline hollowbody and they rocked, just wondering how they behave within the body of a different beast!!
Best regards,
Brooks

Lakland certainly do that mod on request, but that's usually for new basses and anyway, I'm sure you don't want to ship your bass halfway across the world for a passive tone control mod.
Given their rep for good customer service though, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd ship you the recommended parts and some guidance as to where (electronically) to insert them.
EDIT: Here's how Lakland do it:
