Lakland Owners Group #55!

Anyone know if the bass 6 that Lakland is working can be used as a baritone? Markus don't say Fascination Street :D

I'll say it instead.

Oooor Witchita Lineman, maybe?

When I first saw the new Lakland, I thought it was going to be a Baritone. I was disappointed when I found out it was essentially a Bass VI, but I still kind of think I want one. Can't afford one, but definitely want one.
 
Exactly. It is pretty much the one aspect of the Decade I don't like. Luckily I got this at a great price so refinishing the headstock was not an issue. I used this as a template for the finished product. This is one that Markus used to own I believe.

I would like to see a Skyline in Shoreline Gold and standard non-blocked neck at some point.

Yeah... the rootbeer that he had redone in sparkle.

Here she is when I bought her from Dan, still had plastic on the guard and tuners.

We've done these...
Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group
You Really Got Me - The Kinks
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

And we're working on these...
Dead Flowers - Rolling Stones
Dope Nose - Weezer
I'm Eighteen - Alice Cooper
Begin the Begin - R.E.M.
Mony Mony - Billy Idol

What else can we put with these?

I was blessed to be in a band before touching my first string 23 years ago: 3 newbs and a virtuoso newb who drug us along w/ him---- he was playing Satriani in a few months!

Anyways, the best teacher is a real band, as long as the members love playing together and everyone learns at roughly the same pace... which was crazy fast for me and the insanely talented guitarist! He was always better than the rest of us... even at drums :rollno:.

I recently got back into playing covers.... Fire by Jimi Hendrix is fun for just bass and drums. It may be too much for the drummer though?

Darn it all to H-E-double-hockey-sticks! Trying to find a decent baritone that is not a Dano, Gretsch or Tele.
 
Have you read the books? This was kinda (one of the) catch all phrases in the book.....really hilarious sarcasm.....

Love douglas adams....maybe I just like his name?

Doug

yep.. being that nz is part of the commonwealth, I was exposed to british humour very early on and it's still my preferred style.. helps if your sarcastic too I guess lol.. As far as hitchikers, restaurant is still my fave of the books and I've read them many a time.. so it was either don't panic or suggesting to bring a towel lol
 
I don't really do reviews ( mostly because I haven't had enough exposure, I need more money ) so this is just what it sounds like when I'm playing it. I don't usually mess around with settings too much. Pickups full, always.

I'm planning an event for August and am sending some scratch tracks to people for practicing or whatever. Here is the first one.

AJ-44 | TI Jazz Flats | Sadowsky preamp zero boost

Side Game: Name the artist sans google/bing/etc...?

I don't know because they are shipping with a custom set of GHS strings gauged 100-25. AFAIK the thickest baritone strings are around 95-17 and would be sitting loose in the nut. Most standard Bass VI sets are usually 95-25.

Thanks for the info guys, guess my search continues...

BTW - when did the multi-quote function get added here on TB? This is going to make Doude Waves huge!!!
 
email pics of the cavity and a description to:

maybe they will notice something or be able to help you.....

in my past experience, the LH3 is much brighter than the Barts....

This is a full LH3 pre-Lakland PUP set up. Actually, I have the Barts in one 44-02 and the full LH3 pre-Lakland PUP in the other 44-02 and the 55-02 is deader and darker than the Barts...thats how dramatic the difference is.
