Lakland Owners Group #65

It's okay, we still love you. Now there's your bromance

BTW - there is a Delano 5-string Xtender available in the classifieds (not mine), I dare you to rock that!

EDIT: I believe there was a custom Lakland I saw at one point that used them.

That's a pickup typically found on Bee Basses, I can't imagine that on a Lakland

Scary to my wallet, indeed!!! I'm so impressed, I'm thinking the herd needs a HoBo 30.

Get it. I love mine.

VERY interesting !!!! Did not know that....way cool!

My father in law and my daughter's current boyfriend both play organ...in church as well.

Aw man that's cool about your FIL and daughter's BF! Yeah,I kept it a secret for a long time! I started playing piano when I was 5-6...got my 1st bass('74 Jazz) when I was 12.Didn't really start messing with it until around 14.By that time,I was pretty decent on trombone.What made my transition to bass a smooth one was my band director in jr high school arranged all the bone parts to play the actual basslines to hit songs.

I was sorta groomed to play bass without knowing!! Once I learned my notes on the neck,I could practically play any song I knew from playing piano and trombone! Bass is the only instrument I'm self-taught...everything else,I had lessons

Oval pickups to match to the oval bridge... Seems legit.

Way cool Jackie!

You are a natural born musician!

I can BARELY pick a bass string!

It actually looked pretty cool. Pics are on the LOG... somewhere. I'll post a link back, IF I can find it.

Anyone who hears me play organ on Sunday can tell I really like the 16foot stops for the pedals. And if the organ had 32foot stops, I'd use those too. Bass should be felt as well as heard.

The headstock logo was sweet, but I'm not feelin' those oval pups

Yup...that belongs to a bass player named Adam Scovanner. The color matches his first car....

Really great looking bass!

I really like the GS decal to match the car. In this case, I'd rather see the car. A GS 455 is a rare bird.

What if the bass was pink and the pickups were purple... oh wait, you're not lowendmafia

Hahaha.... I don't remember ever saying anything about pink basses... that is a bridge too far. That bass would look fresh with some polka dots though...

Hello !

Just installed custom James Reed J/MM (Maple wood covers) on my Early USA Lakland !

Well, you seemed to like the My Little Pony one

That was called "being facetious," I know that you jokers up there in Oregon don't find humor in anything because of that seasonal affective disorder and everything.

Wow, that is a beautiful bass. The top and color work really nicely together and the pickup covers don't hurt either...

There's more sun than you would think...

There's more sun than you would think...

I lived in Eugene for 5 years and I always thought it was funny when people complained about it... I never really noticed. Now I live in Arizona where I just wish the sun would go away for a few hours a day.
