Lakland Owners Group #62

That's the trade that went down?! Nice!! I also owned the HB that you have now, and man, that thing KILLS. As it was my first HB Lakland, I didn't know how special it was. Now that I've played more than a handful, I know how special that bass is :)

Haha, yeah. I just needed a little cash to cover an AR I purchased to make the wifey happy. I'm a sucker for CAR, and I do love what I'm hearing so far! Plus it keeps me in the Lakie family
 
Dealing with water seepage in the basement like everyone else in Chicagoland.
My practice amp is buried behind other crap we've moved out of harm's way so I won't be able to hear it amplified until Sunday at practice! :spit:

Took a break from flood cleanup to snap this crappy shot. The Dude is in good company:

How can "She" see that as redundant?!
 
I seem to remember a US HB with a black PG and thought it looked nice. CAR P basses look good with matte black PG's...

Black perloid PG, and get a truss cover to match?
FYI, Carl Pedigo was curious how that tort PG was mounted. He fiddled with it briefly but couldn't quite figure out how it was attached. Perhaps something under the pickup surrounds?
 
Kind of off topic, but I'm jonesin for an upgrade for my AJ. I love the Hanson pickups but I want more growl. Any suggestions on 5 string pickup replacements. Always wanted to try Bartolini's . Maybe it's not even an upgrade. Help!!
 
That's correct, they come stock without one. My CAR HB with Dark Stars doesn't have a guard, though I've thought about adding one.

My US HB with dual Dstars did not come with one either.
I honestly like it best as it is without one.
The Dstar pups are the visual "star of the show" on That bass by themselves.
They look so cool on that bass.
I would think parking that little bit of plastic next to them would take away from how cool they look on their own.
