Wahoooooo!

Major congrats!
Tell us more....same company or new adventure?

As long as the pay raise pays for a new Paisley Lakie ....all is good......doubt they have ever done Paisley....but I am sure they could...


Btw....remember paisley ties? Argh! I had MANY...too many....all gone now....well maybe 1 or 2 left (no hiding icon on the droid)

So... Um, not quite what I meant, but nice bass none the less.








Thanks guys, it has been about a 6 week interview process so its a huge relief. I have to move to a larger city (Phoenix), but hopefully I will have time to actually get out and play some music up there. Don't worry Doug, the job is not with F#@$#R...

:hyper: Happy for you man, I know that you had your fingers crossed - glad you made it through the gauntlet. I think a little somthin-somethin is in order to celebrate.



You had me at hush puppies...



Almost E.A.P.



Neither for this camper - I get cranky when it's over 70°F.



I'm that way with my clients - if they seem stupid, I walk away - just not worth the frustration. :D

I agree on the sumtin sumtin...

Hmmmm.....hush puppies....some day I will make some.....yum...

Stop picking on my eanglusch......

I have too many "stupid clients".....nice when I get a smart one.....this last one seems smart....oh and my "tour guide"/main contact was really cute....that does not hurt!
But her hubby works in intelligence so (darn! Where is that hiding icon when you need it!?)

Awesome man! I typically get a watch to mark major achievements in life, but a custom Lakland would be pretty cool too.

I had a Tag Heuer a few years ago that lasted less than 1 month before I cracked the crystal. I sold it as quick as I could after that and haven't worn a watch since. I've always been rough on them, which makes me nervous because I get a Rolex from the company in a few years. I guess I'll sell it and get a custom Lakland.

I posted something in the setup forum about the E string on my Glaub rubbing on the headstock right behind the nut. I looked closer and noticed that the nut is pretty loose. I need to bring it to my luthier to have a loose volume pot looked at as well so I will probably have him replace the nut too. Has anyone else experienced this with their Laklands?

I did have a plek'd neck where the nut slot on the E was cut about 1/1000 too deep. That string buzzed like sitar. I had to use a tiny bit of epoxy to add surface and then re-file that slot. It happens.

Thanks to you and everyone else. It is with a differnt company, much larger and much more well funded. I get a pay increase and a title increase, so I am definitely a happy camper. I was actually starting to think that maybe I was shooting a little high, but it all worked out.

As for a custom ordered Lakland, I think I should probably wait until I get the damn bass I ordered in January at least...

Thank again for the kind words everyone, it has been a good day!.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it definitely happens and I hope in no way it came across that I was not completely enamored with this bass. Without a doubt the best bass I have ever owned. I don't think there's one genre of music where this bass does not shine!
