Wow, how hard would it be to switch out the aeros for CSs? Can you buy the CSs separately? Can my local luthier doit? Thanks for posting this, LPB is color I've got coming.
any reputable luthier should be able to swap out pickups. Yes, you can by chi-sonic pickups separately. just email Hanson.
I have a really cool story on how I obstained this bass. It used to belong to Jake Willeman, who played for Clint Black. The source who owned the bass at the time wanted a Spector Bass that I aquired, formerly owned by Chuck Rainey, and he wanted my Spector. He said he had a photo Mr. Rainey playing the Spector, so I swapped him even for it, thanks to Dan Laken, who introduced us. This was probably 15 years ago. I am playing it here at a Motorcycle Ralley at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth Texas, with our Band, The Sons of Thunder. I have recorded with it many times, it is more wonderful everytime I plug it in. Thanks again Dan, you created a fine instrument.
ah HA, so there is hope
I always liked spalted tops and buck eye burl tops.
Maybe they can whip me up a 44-94 in one of those when I decide to lay down and order new?
Beeeeautiful! In that color reminds me of some eye popping early 70's corvette. 
DJ4s with CSs look pretty cool, too
Ahhhhh the darth vader of Lakland...hahaha!!

I'm pretty sure multiple people called dibs on that one before you joined TB.
I have no doubt, Dan. The "pre-made" US Lakies with those tops that go to dealers like BCC and Bass Central are probably fivers because five-string players tend to be more fancy.ah HA, so there is hope

I called fibs on that one months ago, and I was already too late, so uh... May the best man win

I recently saw this 5 banger online and have been drooling over the top and overall look of the bass.
Would be hard to decide on which to order, the ferrari red 44-94 or THIS ONE!!
No brainer. Forget the red. Definitely.

whattya sayin Doude is fancy?
agreed, but would depend on if the search for the top wood adds crazy time to the build? ( bet they get that wood in small batches here and there?)
And how much more it would cost?
Mrfstop said:
I'm not the type to stress the build time all that much, but the price can be a different story. Bass Central's got a 4-94 Deluxe for $3600. The up charge from quilt to buckeye burl is noticeable: right below the Deluxe is a buckeye one for $4320.
Yea saw these before on BC.
REALLY love the one BEB one that already sold.
The figuring is off the charts with eyeball!

Would be even nicer if they did a MHS on it.
My Alembic has a mahogany body with zebra wood top and a matching HS in zebra wood...looks amazing!
