I expect the obligatory off-angle dark hardwood shot

Sorry... not all my faultbut we are pretty cool fellows here in the LOG and don't get all worked up like some threads do. Plus... that bass isn't in direct competition with any product Lakland sells.
Congrats! Crystal Lake, hmm, do you know Doug?I just picked up a 44-60 AJ yesterday. Absolutely loving it so far. I think it's a lot better than the 3 Fenders I have. I'll have pics up of it later.

Lakland bass, check. Ampeg head and cab, check. Fender shirt, puzzling.
Beautiful 55-02!
I like Fender too.
perfection and passion !!!!
love it.....
Thanks LEO
Gotcha. "basspraiser"/Doug lives in Crystal Lake and is one of the admins of the Lakland Owners Group site (along with me and John/Gecko5). He's also usually the most frequent poster on this thread. If you want a LOG number, he's the guy to PM.I don't know any Doug's, sorry. I attached two pictures of my bass. Probably not the best camera, but it's a really nice bass.
Just busting your chops. Without Fender and his innovations, none of us would have an obsession to dump tons of money into and waste a large part of our lives. Leo gave us purpose and a starting point. Dan Lakin gave us perfection and passion.

Nice bass, Chris. The tops on those JJ models always look great.

That's a much better picture. I like the baby HoBo a lot more now.
The connection to the violin bass puts it in better perspective as well. Makes sense in that "slot".
