This bass looks incredible!

The white has a great aged look to it and the blocks are really nice
Nice! Love that aged oly white finish.
 
Got asked to fill in for a band, opening for this band's CD release show

Invalid Link Removed

The frontman is Adam Levy, Minneapolis producer of this band I never really knew called the Honeydogs...that were cool once upon a time? Anyway, the song is cool. And see what their bassist is playing? :bassist::bassist:

That'll make two Lakies on stage that night...

I'll be filling in with these guys

Super fun group of people, the band is pretty much a chance for most of them to goof off and have fun making music. About half of the members are currently or were in medium to large scale pop punk bands at one time.
 
"Waiting about a block away" eh?....Like with the car running? Sounds almost like a bank job to me. I Mean, the loot in that building is almost as valuable as the loot in a bank. Hey, that gives me an idea....

Shhhhhh....no one has to know.....we made a clean get away!

:)



What would you do with a bunch of bodies and necks? Wait...did that come out right?

Both of those bands sound great. Makes me miss living in a city with a quality music scene.

Very cool!

I love bands that use live strings instead of sampling or keyboards......

Also love the 007 style riff....

Book and unique sound for both bands....
.are you going to be getting your own light suit?

Looks fun all around....enjoy it!

PS...gotta ask....which DS bass gets the psychedelic evening?

How's the new neck?


Got to spend about 15 minutes wanking away unplugged and...... it's pretty f'ing awesome. Carl really nailed it. I think (actually I know) he took it a little personally that I liked the Dude (Skyline) neck better than the US (built by Carl himself). I don't think it could've come out any better than this.

It looks GREAT!

NOT quite as aged as JJs banana split but a nice creamy color....

Dan mentioned in passing about refinishing it......I told him he was crazy ....or something along those lines....

It's funny - that refinish thought just came to me in the last week or so, and I've been without the Dunn for 3-4 weeks. After seeing it again and having it back in my hands, I tend to agree that it would be crazy to refinish it, and it's off the table. For now... :ninja:
 
You went again without telling me? You're dead to me.:crying:

I didn't think to let you know either. I'd been trying to meet up with Doude and finally it worked out.

Thanks Doug for coming out! Was a lot of fun hanging out! Carl is a blast. Simultaneously irreverent, wise, and with youthful exuberance and passion that is very inspiring and, um, good mood inducing.


I left my Musicman Sterling fretless for a fingerboard repair, so I'll be heading back there in early November, and bringing him my DJ4 for some good lovin'. Maybe we can arrange another mini LOG GTG!

Really glad you like it Dan!

And REALLY glad the refin is off the table!

Really cool to finally get to meet you and talk....next time maybe we can do my second (or actually third. :) ) favorite thing after playing bass.....go somewhere to eat!

...and maybe order some bloody Marys!

You got him nailed to a t! He is hard to really pinpoint but is an awesome guy!

I can sit and listen to his stories and recipes (yup....he likes to cook and seems to be an amateur mixologist!) for hours....and I sometimes do!

Next time we have to do invite john and Greg.......:)
