Well at least with an iPad you don't have to worry about butt dialing.

Also, rumor mill is churning about the next iPhone having a larger screen, but we'll see. As an iOS app designer, I hope not, don't need yet another screen size to deal with, four sets of graphic assets is enough.

And... BOT only about 3 months left until the new 4-94 gets here

Not sure what it could have been, but this is what it was...

sweet! someday....a Natty 55-64 will be mine....someday!

Fedex guy rang my bell, wife ran up the stairs and opened the door, and he was gone :-(.

Gotta wait one more day and I guess put a note on the door saying "We're HERE!!" to get my 4-76.

argh!!!! find him! doesn't he know you are waiting for a Lakland!?

nice shot!

Oh...I would hunt him down

What Markus said!!!

They can't ALL be perfect. ;-D Plus, it wouldn't look right w/ birdseye. And, according to you and other LOGers, I can EQ in that perfect birdseye sound right?

LOL!!!

That's good if you want a bass tone that pecks thru the mix

ba-dump-pump!

No, that would be another variety of wood called 'Pecky Maple'. Very, very rare...

very very rare...

 

[basspraiser]

what a beauty!!!!

she is a nice player as well...played it when Ferg owned it!

Fellow Laklanders! Quick question.

I just got my 55-02 set up. Holy crap. And I thought it felt good before!

Not the point. The point is while I was picking it up I noticed a new old stock (2007) 44-01. Sunburst, rosewood board, with the MK-1 Barts, at a great price. Neck was dead straight and everything was tight, light, bright, and functional. I only got about 5 minutes of good playtime with it, but I really felt it. If I were to pick it up, would I like it in the long run? Anyone out there have them who like them? Should I get it "just because"?!

There was a noticeable circular finish chip on the back. Like someone bumped it on a corner. Not noticeable while playing, but I could probably get another couple bucks off. Opinions?! PM me if you have one and have some feedback!

how bad is the chip? if the price is low enough to compensate...do it!

totally different animal than your -02....I have never owned one but many swear by them!

I am not too proud...hahaha!!
If any fellow laklandites feel bored and wanna hook a brotha up with a bass for sale bump, would be appreciated
Hate selling this but need to help my daughter raise a bit more $$$ to replace her car.....and do not need 12 basses.......so off it goes.
thanks for the bumps

No kidding on the screen sizes! Pain in the a$$! Shweet on the 44-94!

 

[basspraiser]

Sorry for the "break" in the tide....was responding to page 30 when my ride showed up in Cleveland....now I am about just outside of Columbus....near Piketon...

so....let the tide go on!

To WoodyG3: TRUE!! I will .

I've wanted Sea Monster for a while but rarely (if ever) let Markus know cause I figured it was a "lifer" for him. Then one day he texts me saying "you want it?"

And, I had wanted a 55-76 for years... missed out on the one that Doug now has. And, since I now play only 4s in my cover band, my lust shifted to a 4-76 w/ the amber one being top of the heap. Must've been fate .

glad you were able to score this JJ!!!

that amber and the BEm are both killer!

This came in yesterday

wahoo! that is sweet!

welcome aboard!

Not getting an image on my silly iPhone, do I don't know whether or not to be envious.

I'm hoping not; I've got envy-fatigue after the week that Jedi's had.

I think you will be envious Jes...jus' sayin'

Well, I'd say pick up the 44-01 for 2 reasons: It has its own unique tone that not even the 55-02 can nail, and it works REALLY WELL in the mix. My 44-01 and 55-01 basses are some of the best recording basses I own... punchy and articulate in the mix and very supportive. The MK-1 preamp isn't as robust as the LH-3, but if you aren't heavy-handed with it, it sounds fantastic.

I say get it!

see...I told ya...some around here SWEAR by dem -01s!!!

This is my first Lakland and I really dig the neck and the pickups. The preamp is ok. I'm used to a Sadowsky pre in my Fender. I may swap that out. I'm going to wait a while and see if the mk1 grows on me. I'm blown away by the fit and finish of this instrument. I should probably just search but do most of you use Lakland strings?

nice.....that bass is really cool...yup! Lakie necks are some of the best in the biz! I have not played that set up....I am sure a Sadowsky or other pre would be an easy swap out!!!

Standard-gauge Rotosound Steel Roundwounds here.
I'm a traditionalist - Darryl Jones with Rotos is the bomb!

OOOO....I had rotosound Steels on my RIC....never tried them on a lakland...hmmmm....

I'm feeling much better, thanks. MI was...well...MI. I'll be back up there week after next.

cool Tat!!! glad you are better!

back to MI huh? sorry to hear that...at least it is warm and not the middle of winter....I usually get there in January or February...just in time for the uber freezing weather...

I used to live in Detroit, that's where I saw my first Lakland. That city has a great music scene and some great people. But you couldn't pay me enough to live there again. I have to go to Saudi Arabia next month and be out before Ramadan starts, I'd rather go there than Detroit.

wow! Saudi Arabia huh? rather interesting I say....you work in teh oil and gas industry though - no? that makes sense...

yup....get out before Ramadan...at least that is what I hear.

 

[basspraiser]

Just spent some quality time w/ Sea Monster playing along w/ some tunes.... getting to know her.

She's the master of all Ps ! That is all.

As you were

get any sea weed on yourself????

She's lightweight too! I know I'm massively strong :hiding: but she must have hummingbird bones.

oh brother...

I know was the lightest bass I've owned, but I'm buff so they're all light he he he!

Oye!!!



you "buff guys"....all you can do is talk baout your muscles...compensating????

Sir - I challenge your mastery!

wowsa...nice!

But as a unified force - they could rule the universe!

he he....dark star trio...

If you combined all these together would they then become the "Death Star" Like a giant Lakland transformer?

that is surely 3 phase energy right there!

don't hit a low E all at the same time....

Troy/Auburn Hills.
And...yes.....I still snicker every time I turn off at X69 - Big Beaver Road.

no comment.....

 

[basspraiser]

I'll have to look for the pizza place. I've been experimenting with the local places while I've been up there.

hmm...Detroit Pizza? is it any good? I thought Polish food was hot there....

I used to work out of there alot and never ate 'zza...

I think you gave me the nudge I needed... Will report back tonight

Edit: "chromed"? Methinks you were typing on an iPhone

he he....looks like it....

You are correct!!...I wish they made bass player sized iPhones These keyboards are itty-bitty!

you mean for "Buff" fingers ?

Indeed... Plus auto correct changes chromes to chromed auto-magically. Can be a pita sometimes fer sherrr

he he...funny!

I so badly want to try out TIs after hearing such good things about them. I just never have the extra cash it seems... Start working soon after being unemployed for a little over year so hopefully extra dough will not be a problem soon

wahoo! congrats on the job...whatcha be doin'?

I have chromes on my MK Dragonfly...love them on the acoustic...got rid of the "clanging" I got with the brass strings...

There's an idea now if I can make calls...hmmm....I'm sure there's an app for that

That is partially what is stopping me....do not want:

phone
Ipad
laptop

need to eliminate one of them and the storage and options on an ipad will not eliminate my laptop anytime soon....

one of the guys in the band is putting all of his music on the ipad...(sheet music) so he ahs "everyhting" and can change keys easily...will see how that works out...

But then you'll be talking out of your... wait nevermind

he he...

Well at least with an iPad you don't have to worry about butt dialing.
And... BOT only about 3 months left until the new 4-94 gets here

even better!!!

yahoo!!! 3 months and counting!!!

 

[natw42]

wahoo! congrats on the job...whatcha be doin'?

Thanks Doude! I'm going to be a financial rep with Northwestern Mutual in southern new jersey and Philly. It's a great job... I get to help people i know and consequently meet achieve their financial goals... and i get to make a living doing it.

Very excited for the opportunity

 

[Texan]

wow! Saudi Arabia huh? rather interesting I say....you work in teh oil and gas industry though - no? that makes sense...

yup....get out before Ramadan...at least that is what I hear.

Yep I'm in oil and gas. I'm going to route my flight back through Paris and have a layover there, for a couple of days. I wanna see if I cam find a French woman that has a Lakland....

Pizza Papalis I'm Detroit is actually Chicago style, better than Ginos East IMO.

The pizza

You are correct!!...I wish they made bass player sized iPhones These keyboards are itty-bitty!

They do, Markus. They call them iPads.


EDIT: Gordon beat me to it, but I didn't read everything first. :sigh: MY luck.

Party foul

 

[Lichtaffen]

My buddy bought that US Darryl Jones natural fretless with Chi-sonics that was in the classifieds recently. We plugged it through my Aguilar AG500 and GS112. Want an unbelievable bass and an amazing sound. It plays like butter too.

Is that anything like Exit 69 "Essex" on I-95 in Connecticut?

 

[Tat2dHeart]

Party foul

Not intentional. I tend to respond as I read usually since my brain is aged and forgetful. By the time I get through two or three pages, I could totally forget what I wanted to say.

Mayyyybe.

 

[SRFSterling5]

Just ordered a 55-02 Deluxe in the Quilted Natural finish. After playing a
55-01 and getting that low B punch, I had to order one. Traded in the
MM Sterling 5 HS. I can't wait.

 

[MarkusBass]

Nice! So...SRF55-02D?

 

[evhest]

Love 'm!
