Randy:

you have TRULY sacrificed to make a living for your family....hope you can get back the uber-bling you deserve!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

I'm looking for a Lakland MM bridge pickup from a 55-02, I think the 55-94 uses the same pickup if I'm not mistaken. Either way, please PM me if you have one you want to sell or trade something for!

you can always get one direct from Hanson...

good luck...

what are you thinking of doing????

New bass day! Just picked up my DJ5. Unboxing it as soon as I get home. Pics to come.

Keep the faith man...half way is half full!!!!

Only a bit more to go....

T-20s are kinda rare....I had a GREAT T-40....

I still have a T40- that one I'm NOT moving. But yeah, the T20 is a little more rare- thats why I'm looking to move it. I mostly play 5's in my country band (which is my ONLY band) and I have several 4's that just dont get played much anymore so its time they find new homes. This way I can gain entry to the Lakland club!!

So if you know anybody who's interested in a T20...LMK!!!

not to derail...BUT:

what year is your T-40? (mine was an '82)
color? (mine was black and maple)
nick name? (mine was "the Tank")

Not to say that's a derail, but...that is in fact a derail.

My name is Randy, and I thought I was free and clear of my addiction for a year, but I've relapsed big time. Not complaining, and to celebrate, why don't we look at some of my favorite Lakies that I've had the honor of owning...

5) This is a tie, I loved these DJ's

4) My current girl...

3) The infamous Radioactive Oatmeal, lol!

2) My lovely LOG bass that I would LOVE to have back...

1) and the one that got away. The BG5 proto. This one had to go to fund the camera gear that now provides 100% of my income for my family, so I SUPPOSE it was a noble decision. I still have dreams about this one...

Whoa!!!! Man those refin just got me going!!! Now I'm starting think of doing a refin......

Excited to see it! And, welcome to the club...you may be on a slippery slippery slope

so sue me!!!

That P5 was just a hunk of wood when he got it...now look at it.

Randy loved the refin!

I have done a few myself...nice to get "The color" you want...and the exact finish you want...

+ a bunch! The DJ in particular is often an entry point into the addiction--I should know.

Yup! Just make sure you're gonna keep the bass, unless you don't mind losing the $$ you spent on the refin.

 

[basspraiser]

You guys are hilarious!!!

My last Lakland was a Carlo....dealing with multiple enablers and dealer/pushers is tough on the stamina and pocketbook....can I hold out?

doubt it...

LEM...Canadian Girls are ALMOST as good as CHisonics....

enjoy Toronto!

Actually....I lied.....I actually gave up a tooth for my last Lakland.....actually gave up a body part for it.....

I must have a real problem or be in denial....cause when i listed this i forgot about 2 others I got AFTER the Carlos.....

Do I have a great problem,?

 

[basspraiser]

Yup! Just make sure you're gonna keep the bass, unless you don't mind losing the $$ you spent on the refin.

I guess....logical details.....

I've got a non-Lakland bass that is routed for two of this size pickup, kind of a project bass for me. I've got some Barts I modified to fit, but they are not quite wide enough to cover the string spread so I've been on the lookout for something good and cheap to put in there that are the proper size. Found one Lakland pickup for $50, so now I need another one to match it! Hoping to stay around the same price. Also have a spare LH-3 preamp to go in it so it would be nice to have all Lakland electronics in it.

My first was a DJ4!

Mine was an early CAR/RW Skyline with Aeros. Next time I try to get along with J basses, it might be another Aero-loaded DJ.
