Carl just let me know he's done with some minor repairs on my EBMM Sterling fretless. I've had a serious itch to go back to playing fretless lately, and been eyeing a Skyline JO fretless in the classifieds. Hopefully I can be satisfied with my Sterling and avoid Lakland GAS!
I am not s happy camper today by any stretch of the imagination!
...and no telling when Rodgers will be back!
I have to give McCowen credit where credit is due....
Wish I could drown my sorrows by playing my lakies! But Alas ..not home until tomorrow
You kids get off my lawn with that smart-phone posting!*shakes fist*
Ah, Melbourne. I sure hope there's a lot more going on than the last time I was there.
That is going to be a spanking and a half tonight, no doubt about it.
Not much happening there...but I did find a restaurant near the water that was pretty good and had 73 beers on tap.
Had a few there and took a few bottles ( they have hundreds of micro brews for sale) for the game...
If any one gets to Melbourne ....it is called the Mansion...
That sterling is sweet BUT nothing sings like a fretless Jo!
Used mine this past weekend....it sounded great!
Sooner or later Dan will own a fretless Lakie!
I wonder if he had to do the Discount Daaaaaaable Check in the locker room...
Funnier still is that State Farm is doing Da Bears, and Rogers got hurt whilst playing Da Bears...
dude, if you're talking about the one that I used to own (I commented on the FS thread--3TS, upgrades)
...seriously GET IT. I LOVE the pups in that thing! Everything sounded phenomenal, super easy to tweak sounds, and noiseless. Rolling off neck or bridge was super dynamic which is not usually the case IMO with passive pickups. By that, I mean with passive...you can go a little and then you may as well go all the way. I felt like there was much more room to dial in sounds with those pups, and again...noiseless...
plus it just looks damn good with the usa lollipops and bell guard on. And the nut was upgraded to bone. If you don't get it, I will
Carl said that my neck should be finished this week, can't wait too get my fretless back. He is really such a nice guy, easy to talk to. The coated ebony should match the gloss black body now, should look really cool. Ill have some pics up when I put everything back together.
Peace
Dave

Enabler! (I think 3Leaf should pay LOG royalties)
Yup...love Carl and he does great work!
I really think you will love the coated neck!
Too bad you did not send him the entire bass....he is a master at the fretless set up!
Ok...funny.....but....enough
rodgers and I are in enough pain...
I'm afraid to ask, but how did you end up a cheesehead?
He's from Milwaukee (I think). Then he decided to move to the far NW burbs to be even further away from Chicago.
Just got my fretless EBMM Sterling back from Carl after he worked his bass doctor magic. It had a couple deep scratches in the fingerboard that were not wear from rounds (I never could figure out what the cause was, it was like this when I got it.)
Before:
I don't have an "After" pic, but ... Holy crap, he did such a great job that I can't even find where the scratches were!
Another pic for those who don't mind non-Lakland:
