I've been told that my comedic descriptions of my dating escapades would make me extremely wealthy. Unfortunately, I think they would also make me extremely undateable. I'm not quite ready to give up on that part of life just yet. I mean. After all. I'm not even 50 yet.

Going well - thanks for asking. We put a guitar player/singer with us last Sunday and even got a couple of the songs on video. I haven't been brave enough to watch them yet - but I did let them get taped, which is a HUGE deal for me.

New bass day! Heres a (borrowed) pic of my fretless 55-94. It's my first Lakland as well as my first fretless. The feel of the neck is ridiculous!

Anyone know what an approximate date for a 55** serial number would be?

Cool thanks! Im surprised its that old. Its got rounds but the neck is barely scuffed. This bass really is a dream to play though fretless is a bit challenging.

Congrats on your first Lakie, it's a great one! I love the quilting on that one. And yes, the necks are amazing.:)

I'm gonna say yes to the original case...I bought one @ '99

Does the case have a textured vinyl covering?

I bought another one last year and while it had a whiter case, it was smooth...both had the red/burgundy interior IIRC

Thanks!! :D

So this one came with a creme lakland case with red lining. Would that be an original style case if the bass was made in 99?

Depends on the "creme".
The original cases were a bit darker and did not feature the Lakland logo. Yours is probably that.
Then they were replaced by lighter color off white with the Lakland logo.
And as of last year they come in a tweed case.

Congrats on the bass, and don't forget to log on to Link Removed for in-depth info and discussions on all things Lakland.
