but then again with the 5th string why would one play below the 5th fret anyway?
Somebody told me once that there's no money below the 5th fret...I thought that was pretty hilarious

Don't play 35" but have thought how much different could it really be? With the exception of the extra string and maybe a little more of a stretch below the 5th fret, but then again with the 5th string why would one play below the 5th fret anyway?

I took a new family pic...I love bass photography!

The eagle has landed!!
A day late but at first glance looks like it made the trip ok.
Only opened it for a moment in the chilly garage to initially inspect. Did not want to keep it open in the warm house after being out in the cold on fedex trucks.
Will plug it in this afternoon and change strings.
Cannot wait to finally give my ears a load of 44-94 goodness.![]()
Initially I cannot believe how light it is...
And how amazing the neck feels!!!
I have a funny feeling this will be my all time favorite!
Th BEM fretboard is beautiful as well.
And the burl is off the charts BEAUTIFUL!!
THANK YOU LAKLAND!!![]()

Wow, just WOW!

LOLThanks Texan
Been eyeballing this beauty for about a year and a half on BC site.
Finally broke down and rolled two very loved basses to grab it.
Could not resist the force any longer
And Maybe Markus had a little to do with pushing me over the edge once AGAINLOL
Always glad to help, Dan!!! So stoked man!
Mrfstop said:Well I have you to thank man for pushing me to buy that first Lakland...the 44-07...
And now this 44-94...
So far no complaints
The necks on 44-07...44-94 and Scheff blow EVERYTHING else I have owned out of the water.
And I have owned a ton of insanely beautiful basses.
These are just so thin and fast...fantastic!
My Alembic Orion is very similar in neck profile AND is the only Ebony board bass I have left.
As much as I like the USA Spector one off I have...
With that chubby neck profile and tiny body, it might have to end up on the selling block after the holidays???![]()

Me revvving up the PH810 600 watt Mesa Rig would not go over very well.![]()
Don't be hatin' on the US 44-07 or the USJS4 #007... Those guys need love too!
600watts sounds a bit weak to me. Let me know if you want me to send up my GBE1200 to get the party started right.

LOL
