Lakland Owners Group #66

[GregC]

Ya but I'm cheap. $10 was the right price for decals.

I'm a numbers guy. To me the cost difference between the Skyline and the US is not justifiable. I can buy a Skyline, which I love the feel of and yes, I've played the US versions, and customize the Skyline exactly how I want it for less money than a US. Granted, I couldn't do Oregon colors.

I forgot to comment on this. I know a new US model is a lotta cheddar. But one thing I feel pretty strongly about is that a used US Lakland is the best deal out there among $1500+ basses.

You know the rules, no pics=no vacation...

 

[MarkusBass]

We're doin ok.

Great to hear, Gary!

Would anybody happen to know the correct Hipshot XTender model to match the reverse-geared, long stemmed Hipshot tuners on my US Duck Dunn?

 

[MarkusBass]

Aloha LOG! I'm back from vacation. My poor callouses have been softened by massage oils, tropical drinks, and swimming in the Pacific. Nothing my Lakies can't fix.

Nice! Now I want to go back!

Daddy's little girl....I'm so proud

Very cool!!

All the VERY BEST Gary!! Thoughts go out to ya my friend...

OT: THANKS


Thanks for the Anonymous LOG Heads for sending me a best wishes card on my surgery tomorrow. I appreciate the support.

Ya, I'm with you there. I custom ordered an Alembic years ago and it was a dog turd of a bass. I hated it. I won't touch am Alembic now and am very hesitant towards custom orders.

Huh? MY alembic is freakin amazing. Zebra wood - Mahogany - Purple Heart - Ebony........Adjustable Brass nut & 2pc Cut brass bridge.
Top quality across the board.

 

[Mrfstop]

I think you guys are missing the point of ordering a factory-custom bass...

Agreed 100%
If you shell out $4,000 and painfully wait 10 or more months for the build?
The thing BETTER be 1000% and not need be sent out anywhere after it finally arrives.
