Gotta get a brown Tort PG for it, then she will be the business.
I was just mulling over what color guard would go well with that. I'm very interested to see the result of that combo
DIBS!!! Yeah I know it's not black, but Pat W. can work magic![]()
Me too, sounds a little weird with the greenish blue and brown red - but hey what do I know?![]()
Ok, I'll join in the friday fun.
It's day after NBD for me so here's a crappy office shot:
I snuck out at lunch for a set up (it was unplayable) and will use it at gig tonight. After 5 (or is it 6?) new-to-me Laklands in the last 6 months, I think this one will be a keeper.
I think a new pickguard (black abalone? red or brown tort? suggestions and/or mockups welcome!) and an Audere preamp will happen sooner. Maybe Chi-Sonics later since I just missed a great chance.

Unfortunately I had to sell the [everything] I owned to get the new one without causing myself too much headache... if you know what I mean.![]()

Nice!
Boy, do I. I snuck down to my practice area (aka corner of kids' playroom) on Wednesday night to learn a song, then remembered that I had just sold my practice amp...

It'll have to do until a certain orange US version last seen on the California Coast becomes available. So probably forever.
Sweeeeet! Man, i love that, Markus. I want one.Invalid Link Removed

Awesome! I love that color. Congrats.Marcus, that is a sweet looking Bass VI. You might need more hair to pull off the whole Robert Smith look though...
It is also new bass day for me, although my pictures are not as good... what do you want? I am at the office.

Do you happen to know what strings are on it, including the gauges? I've been reading the thread on the new Fender Bass VI, and there's a lot of discussion about gauges and how they affect the tone.
Awesome! I love that color. Congrats.
Markus does need a Robert Smith wig.

I don't know him personally, but based on his posts on this forum I am concerned that Marcus may not be gloomy enough to play Cure covers.
I dunno, I heard that his tongue's like poison, so swollen it fills up your mouth.
