you know I'm here, sort of, lurking ever on the sidelines, chip in whenever I feel up to it, yeah, that's me....

Oh, and this one hasn't had much love lately, so I'm giving it some props today, a great feeling bass, and the tones are to die for...

Woody, you could have taken The Grey Ghost home with you 3 weeks ago, but noooooooo.... You had to have candy apple red.

Sweet, sexy, drool worthy Candy Apple Red.

Yep. And the grey ghost is a great playing/sounding bass. But I had a conversation with myself and I said, "Self, you won't be truly happy unless you get sweet, sexy, drool worthy Candy Apple Red."

:D :bassist:

I was playing that yesterday! BIG fan of Leonard Cohen, Roscoe Beck's an amazing bass player - you know that he arranges all Leonard's music? And for those who have never heard the song, and don't know what we're talking about, here's the best live version:

You're welcome.

On topic, looking through the list of Lakland owners, does anybody know what's happened to the early guys? Jaquo, Nubs etc?

Oh, and before I go, RIP Duck Dunn and Jim Marshall (founder of Marshall amps)... you shall be missed.

Hmmmm...would it be possible for the LOG to send a condolence card to Duck Dunn's family? could that be arranged? Presumably Lakland have contact details.

Anyway. Enough from me.

Cheers, SoundSupport

I haven't seen him live since The Future. My interest sort of tapered off when he got 'Casio-y' in later discs.

I've been watching the other YouTube vids of that show for the past hour. They really nailed the sound for that show.

Nubs posted in the last LOG thread at least a couple times, he still owns some (including a rare Scheff 5). Jauqo still owns a number of awesome Laklands, I run into him all the time when I go out to practice.

There's a thread on the LOG site called Link Removed for finds like these :D

I wants my numbah! :hyper:

The bass arrived from Adam today. I'm kinda speechless. Love at first sight... and touch. Weighs only 8 pounds and 9 ounces, but somehow feels lighter. I replaced the D'Addario steel strings with LaBella flats. Raised the action a tad. Habida habida habidahabida.

I can't believe the condition this bass is in. Ten years old, but looks like new. The back had some kind of plastic over it. I can't find as much as a single belt buckle scratch. Also, seeing it in person, the white perloid pickguard looks pretty good.

I couldn't be happier.

I believe "nubs" stops by periodically - at least has so in the past few months.

I like the idea of the sympathy card being sent out by the LOG as a whole.

Nubs pokes his head in once in a while...Jauqo is around and I talk with him fairly frequently.....still playing lakies amongst other basses...he is doing a special song for the next LOG cd.....SuperTanker is one of the originals that still posts on the LOG!

Kind of interesting to look at the list and wonder....

As for a log card to the Dunn family...dunno....would have to get a mailing address...let me check with lakland EDIT: SENT BO AND JP AN EMAIL....WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY!

Lol!

Btw...let's all wish Jes a happy 40th! (Even if his cake WAS a sadowsky.....it was a ice cake from the picture)

Happy b day my canadian friend!

What, you mean *this* li'l ol' cake?

Thanks, Doude! So far, 40 feels a whole lot like 39... except for the new bass, the new wine fridge and the dozen new bottles... So I guess 40 actually seems a bit better than 39...

Oh: I lied in the other thread: The scotches were Lagavulin and The Glenlivet, not Oban.

What's cool about my current stable (1 Sadowsky Standard with humbuckers, 1 Fender Am. Std Precision 5 and 1 Lakland 5502) is that none of them *really* get into the others' faces, sound-wise. I can still see uses for the other two, even though the Sadowsky cost a freakin' mint and is dead sexy.

But honestly, the new axe has shown me a whole new world in terms of what a buttload of money gets you, feel-wise. I'm not kidding about trading that Skyline up for a US model one of these years.
