I'm almost embarrassed to tease y'all but I'm shameless so I'm going to do it anyway.

Row 5. Seat 3. Victor Wooten.

And...he used my back for a table to sign my poster and then shook my hand. I shall never shower again.

He's such a little guy, but has a huge heart. He's a really great person.

I hope you decide to shower, or you are gonna be ripe for the gtg...
 
New Bass Day! Actually I've had this Skyline 44-64 Custom since August but have been too busy with a retail store move, vacation, etc. etc. to get a shot. I swore a year ago when I got the HB that I would get this bass and I have made it happen. Sound, playability, color, all are just the way I like. On last night's outdoor gig I strung it with TI flats with a foam mute at the bridge. Many compliments on the sound and the look. I love this bass and am unlikely to ever part with it. Here is the "Grey Goose" on vacation with me in September. Talk to me Goose!

nice. I have one that looks just like it- but mine is strung with Hi beams (I do have sadowsky flats for it too (came with the bass)
 
Awesome!!! Now that's a memory to last a lifetime.


Now that's just too cool! Nice to see a musician that's good with taking a little time with a fan. Now we just have to convert him to Laklands :D

He was really nice. He and Anthony Wellington came out after the sound check and before the show while some of the openers were playing in the lobby (they did two acoustic openers in the theater lobby, then a bigger group onstage in the venue) to listen to their sets. Met some folks, signed a few autographs, posed for some pictures, then went back to the green room. Very approachable and very humble.

After the show, the whole band came out and talked to the crowd, signed autographs, did pictures, just generally mingled. They didn't act like they were in a hurry to leave at all.

Even during the show, it was much more like an informal jam than a big show. A couple of times, they turned up the house lights and got the audience engaged in the performance. I've never been to a show like that. I will definitely go see him again if he gets within driving distance.

Lovely! Grey is one of my favorite colors. I need a bass that shade of grey (or, any of the fifty shades, I guess).

Now that's a bass that will match any outfit! (and shoes if you're Tat ;))

Nice score!


Heh. I have at least five pairs of shoes that will go with that bass.
 
Okay folks - I'm packing up the amber to ship to Chicago tomorrow so she'll be waiting for me at the end of the week when I get there. I only have a gig bag for her, so tell me if this should keep her safe. I'm using one of my hard cases (Roadrunner), wrapping her in a sheet, and packing all the open spots with bubble wrap to keep her from shifting around. Do you think that will be enough?

As long as the shipping box itself is decent, that packing job should be more than sufficient.
 
Hey guys! New to the forum. I have a Lakland Skyline 4 right now, and have loved it since the day I got it several years ago, and will be sticking with the brand! Hope to pick up my first 5 though 55-02 probably. What is this LOG #? What is its significance, and how do I become a part of it!?
