Lakland Owners Group #62

I am looking for a lakland with Fender's 4 inches pickup spacing... Suggestions???

What Fender has 4 inch spacing? 70s spacing is like 3.5ish.

Did you decide on your color options for your two refins?

Olympic white for the HB, sonic blue matching headstock for the DS BG I may make a last second change...but I'm thinking this is IT. I have yet to talk to him to confirm.

I'm in discussions with Pat as we speak.
How long did it take to get your bass painted?
He told me 5~6 weeks.

I'm leaning towards the shell pink.

Well, he did mine over Christmas AND namm...quoted me at 5-6 but I think it took almost 8. Just bad timing with holidays and busy times. My shell pink is lighter than anticipated, he sent me a photo from Sadowsky of a shell pink he did and mine came out lighter. But I really dig it

I'll try to post pics of his example (he did the finish for Sadowsky) and of mine soon.

I used to really not like shell pink, but it has been kinda growing on me......

It's funny, but from everything you've said thus far, I would venture a guess that he IS NOT a Lakland player

Would guess more of a BC Rich warlock player LOL

 

[Gab124]

Haha, all I know is you have to be true to yourself. When I stopped feeling "metal", I quit playing metal. I love all the songs that my band currently plays, and 5-10 years ago, I would've said I'd never play country or pop. But, I can really appreciate all kinds of music now... mind is way more open.

I totally hear that. Many years ago I would have preferred death over playing county, but now I am doing some covers in one band and the original band is getting ready to go to studio and is pretty much modern country. The really amazing part is that I really kinda like it. Though, I will not admit to it
As well, some of the modern country tunes have some really good bass lines.

Good call on the HB...I REALLY love the Oympic white one that is sitting at Bass Central calling my name


But will refrain from giving any real thought to owning it...at least for now heheheh

"Bro, we've been jamming out hard for the gig next month, I'm so stoked to get back on stage and rock! Been working my slap thumb too hard though, gonna have to chill on that for a bit."

If he suddenly starts giving you the cold shoulder, he is on Talkbass too and read your mockery.

I applaud his enthusiasm.

Fanfreakintastik. That is really nice, on all levels. How does she sound?

 

[MarkusBass]

Thanks very much! Sound beautiful! Lots of delicious mids backed by punchy lows and bell tone highs.

Markus you have such amazing basses.
I love seeing them but I haven't seen you post your best looking bass in a long time.
...burp!

 

[MarkusBass]

Thanks very much! Which one is that?

 

[Gab124]

I love the feel of Wenge necks. It is so organic and packs a punch tonally .

 

[strappa]

Thanks very much! Which one is that?

The fizzy root beer
That thing is beautiful!

 

[Johnny Alien]

So what's the deal with the wood burning on the back of the headstock now?

 

[lowendmafia]

Just add another one to the list of "basses I wish I had but that are owned by Markus"

 

[overbybr]

Gah! I'm loving everything about that bass, especially the laser engraving! Abalone on wenge!
