hmmmmmm? Not sure if THAT is bad or good?
Hey Bartski, just through caution to the wind and DO IT!
You will not regret it.
A stealth black HB with ebony board and all black hardware would be insanely hot!!
Especially if along the way ya score a set of Mint Darkstars and install those in it. WOW!![]()
Well I guess it's a good thing considering your little slice of goodness coming your way soon.
Don't say anything about throwing caution to the wind right now. Just recovered from a 24 hour coastal storm with 60mph winds and 80-90mph gusts. First time for me in hurricane force winds, not something I want to repeat anytime soon. Power went out all day - just came back on not too long ago and what do I do? Sign in to the LOG and TB
Guess I really shouldn't complain though, folks back East had/have it much worse than I did. Thankful for small blessings and Laklands that you can play without power.


oooops my bad ...sorry about the wind thing...had not heard about that going on out in the wild wild west.
hang in bro...you are a tough guy ya can do it![]()
Another good thing about the HB...the way it resonates thru the F hole ya can hear it really good when unplugged![]()
My deal on the new baby is nearly a wrap...hope to have it shipping right after the holiday Tday madness.
No harm, no foul my friend. And you make a good point about the F hole, was thinking the same today as a matter of fact sitting in the Bassment - yes spelling is intentional - without lights or windows.

Seems like it is a Lakland protype HB?
Someone posted in the HB club here on TB that they just bought it.
Looks amazing! WOW!
Sure Greg and Doude can shed some light on the subject![]()
Yeah...I was thinking about jumping on that one when it was for sale here. Pretty cool!

Lions and tigers and bears oh my...hahaha!!
Yeah we're fine. Didn't see any Oz-ness, but plenty of other flying stuff - glad the neighbors cat was inside. I was glad we have the Bassment. Not only is it good for keeping the low tones away from the neighbors - under the garage cement floor and cement walls on two sides - but could provide a nice little shelter should the top two stories decide to go for a stroll. Looks like we're in for round two starting tomorrow morning. Hopefully not as bad though.
