So my band is working through Circles by Incubus, and I took to the YouTubes to see how the masters did it and I noticed a gem in the video
Gem????
Does Ben's bass have strange pups? Or was that just glare?

Wow JJ! That's beautiful! Nice to see you won't be hurting so bad with your Coral P bass gone. Can't wait to get that body and go to Lakland and grab a neck from them. Now the big question. Rosewood or maple fretboard. Esthetically I prefer the look of Rosewood, but I kind of want a grindy, puchy p bass sound, so maybe maple is the way to go with that alder body. How aggressive are Neo punch P pickups? I've only played a Lakland P with fralins.
"Markus orange" jeez!!! Oh well, Markus deserves the plug... he's pretty important to Lakland!
Thanks for the clip. Barden pups huh? I may have to try em.
Hehe! If I was Markus, I'd keep the link to that video in my sig."Markus orange" jeez!!! Oh well, Markus deserves the plug... he's pretty important to Lakland!
Cool! I'm not a big Incubus fan, but Ben is really multi-talented. Before joining the band, he played guitar for the Roots, and that's a group where only killer musicians need apply.Ben was one of the first guys that really caught my eye playing laklands. Watching "Incubus Alive at Red Rocks" I decided this brand was worth investigating. As it turns out, that was a correct assessment. These basses are Puurrfect!
I'm thinking about getting my 55-02 re-fretted with larger fret wire,probably medium-jumbo. Never really dug the skinny frets. Has any one out there done this? How did you feel about the results? Jim
That's part of what makes a Lakland special. The neck will feel thicker with taller frets.

Met up with Basspraiser last night for a quick and dirty tour of Denver breweries/brew pubs and then took him by Premier Bass Guitar to show off a few Mile High Laklands... (Missed you Woody)
He tried to sneak this one out in his back pocket, but I had to say no... There's already a line a dozen deep for that one![]()
