Lakland Owners Group #53

[GregC]

Thanks Greg!
I honestly do not know what a "dream bass" might be?
I mean maybe designing a body style..a headstock...some exotic crazy woods...who knows?
But as far as building a cool one off US Lakland goes?
I can see it at some point.
Just need time to think and like what? $3,500 - $3,800? hahaha!! yowza.

That sounds like a good plan, Dan. Take your time...Price will depend on the model and options, as well as how good of a deal your dealer can cut, of course. But unless it's a Glaub with no blocks or matching headstock, expect to pay at least $3k.

Yikes...googled ferrari paint codes...a red 1990 F-40 paint code is:
Glasurit Rosso Corsa FER 300/9

Is this the red you're looking for? Pantone 485.

 

[Mrfstop]

That should do...
Maybe a bit less orangey?
I dunno?
when and IF the time comes for me to loose my mind and dump 3 basses to order it, I will decide on which red.

For now, psyched for NBD today!
AND NBD tomorrow too...
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Then it is sit tight time.

 

[Black Bart]

Pantone 185

You can't judge a Pantone color by what it looks like on screen. All kinds of variables (color modes, screen temp, lighting in room, graphics card, type of monitor, etc, etc.) You need to look at a Pantone book in person.

Pat gets his colors from car paint suppliers so you can tell him Ferrari Red.

Thanks "Black Bart" and Markus.
For now I am biting my finger nails awaiting the fedex guy today and tomorrow.
Waiting on the DJ today and the _ _ _ _ _ _ tomorrow
Once the dust clears from this 40 day whirlwind...
Then I can TRY to talk myself into rolling yet another 3 basses to lay out the cha ching for the Ferrari red special order.

You know it never ends, right?

No it does not. I may pick up a LOG when I return from vacation, and my charcoal silver DJ will come out of the first march/april run. I'm considering moving my cherryburst 02, but i'm going to give it one more shot with a full setup and new DR Marcus Miller Fat Beams, which I have fallen in love with on my 01.

BTW. There is a wicked, three CS decade in the classifieds. 3 Chi Sonics! Whoa.

I just went against my no 5'ers rule and ordered a 55-02 Deluxe within a minute of getting the payment for my Warwick...I can't wait. What's next, the 44-01 or the 44-AJ?

Yep, but was just having some fun. And from having done print work needing that particular color, I know it is closest to PMS 185C or 186C

FEDEX did the deed...Delivered the DJ in tact.
