Hehe, I don't own one, but they are amazing. My advice: Save your pennies, 'cause I bet one will come up for sale sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I will have to do that. Until then, I will keep playing my 44-06.5 It is my 01 with Chi's and passive tone control that has me wanting the 07 - honestly though I am not sure I would use the humbucking setting anyway, love the stock single coil tone of these immensely.

Sounds like Greg is expecting Gary or myself ( convicted bass flippers ) to roll one of our 44-07's in the future...hahaha!!
Nope not me........ Gary?

I wasn't thinking of anyone specific, my friend, just judging the odds.

That looks great. What happened to the old LS neck?

The LS neck is just hanging out on my floor right now, possibly nothing more than decoration!! If I decided to get a body for it, the headstock is painted to match the firemist gold body. So, it must just remain a bodiless neck

I will sell no bass before it's time...

 

[RockinRonnie]

Leo is looking after me. Thanks for the direction basspraiser

You just ruined what was once the best Lakland FOR METAL!

I am not sure what the best Lakland for metal is, but I'd imagine it is owned by kinetic shadows....

If you decide to part with it in the future I'd be interested.

Fighting the good fight ( bass addiction that is )

Got the collection down from 16 recently to 9 and now down to only 6 left standing.
You can see heavily favoring US Laklands hahaha

Great collage there Dano!

 

[basspraiser]

No neck swap... Not as cool as the other one on its way, but still cool.

Argh! The suspense!

Hints?

 

[basspraiser]

I don't recall ever seeing the Alembic. wow. WOW. wow. I see why you kept that one.

Watch out Dan....Gary will be after the Alembic before you can say Scheff twice!

 

[basspraiser]

So... file this away in your "man people do crazy things with basses" file. I was noticing a strange tonal responses around the 7th fret on my gold Lakland and what I would describe as a "tiny sound" I took a look and the neck was srtraight and everything, it was perplexing. So I decided I would remove the neck and make some adjustments. When I removed the neck, a shim fell out. But not just any shim, a METAL shim. Got the neck back installed and got the action nice and low and the neck is in an adjustment that is far more reasonable.

Hmmm.metal shim? That is a little odd.

Is the neck tight?

Is it straight?

Is the intonation good?

Is the issue gone?

If so....why was the shim there I wonder?

The Alembic is not going anywhere.

Trying before you say no....

Once you feel the chi humbucker rumble you won't go back....my 5507 is ALWAYS in him bucker mode

Have respect man! At least hang it up!

No respectable lakland body part should be "just on the floor ".
