Lakland Owners Group #63

I have to wait 6 more days to get the new (to me) LPB Glaub but I can spend that time playing with my other new purchase...

Very sharp, JA! Walkabouts are great amps, I use the head all the time.

Is that the one Smallequestrian had up for sale? If so, he's local to me and a good dude. We've each bought a bass from the other.

I'm with the other guys. It loses something with the cream PUPs.

 

[MarkusBass]

Interesting...I like both...I'm on the fence.

Dear Basspraiser,
would it be ok to sell the skyline to help fund the purchase of this?

Not BP, but I say yes! That is hot. First Daphne Blue Lakie I've ever seen, too.

I'm going against the grain, I like it!

He was making fun of me for some recent acquisitions and my bass ADD. The Daphne Blue is haunting me, but I can't afford it without losing a bass...

 

[Holdsg]

you don't need Doug's approval to sell (or buy basses) that Daphne is hotness personified, only surpassed by the surf green and abalone one of Markus.

Thanks! Yeah...I'm leaning this way too.

Hey people! I have to come clean... I was going to put my 55-94 fretless up for sale last week. I got cold feet as soon as I took it out of the case for pictures. It's just such a great bass I can't let it go. I just wish it was fretted.

Do you guys know if Lakland will help me out with this? I assume it would be frowned upon to convert the original neck to fretted? It's a 1998 I believe so kinda old school Lakland. Will Lakland fit it with a new neck if I send it in?

Thanks Gary!!

Yeah...get what you want! That's hot!

Yes...they will fit a new fretted neck to it.

Yes...they will fit a new fretted neck to it.

Cool thanks Markus! Any idea how much that would set me back?

 

[MarkusBass]

That I don't know...get 'em on the horn!

It is indeed Smallequestrian's and you are correct he has been a peach to deal with.
