Lakland Owners Group #68

[basspraiser]

Excellent, congrats! With one exception, I believe the shop crew today is made up of guys who were working there the first time I visited Lakland 7 years ago. Despite the sale by Dan, there's been tremendous continuity there.

Oh--we need pics!

yes and YES!!!! we need pics!

The guys at the shop are top notch...

Oh wait, Osborns are now going to be made by Lakin, not Lakland.

the 55-60.......

Still have not tried a DLakin bass....been too busy with flight delays and traveling the country...hope to try one soon...but no fivers

 

[basspraiser]

Buh-what??

Joe and Bob followed Dan to his new venture.....

.....most resonant bass body and best neck feel ever for me...

OH man!!!!! she's a beauty!!!! what is the top!?

 

[basspraiser]

^^^^
Totally agree...I've had 34", 34-1/2" and 35"

No B string can touch a 35"...IME and few actually feel/sound better than my 55-94

thank you....I feel the same way....the 35" MAKES that B sing....(even if you have to top load it vs through the body)....

Like th first deal is going to fall through

I was going to go for thirds but was too late....

Looks like your sitting around here doing nothing but trying to topple the Doude in post count finally paid off

Padawan is TRYING.....lucky I have been slammed lately....

 

[basspraiser]

Done



Sorry bro



That's why the ladies love me, I'm a sure thing....



Indeed...wait..I do other stuff...

ladies love you "because" you are a "sure thing"? that may be an issue....any nerd in high school (including me at the time) was a "sure thing"....just saying...

congrats on the new DJ.....we need post mod pics!

as for out-Douding the Doude.....we will see all in good fun Brandon....

 

[basspraiser]

I thought it was because you are obviously quick like a Minute Man.

OMG...LMAO........"quick release" just got a new meaning....

 

[basspraiser]

I really like that serial #1 51P Tom has for sale but that Uriah sig and thumb rest he added is hurting it....IMO....Man I'm too picky!

huh?????? what????


that bass is #1 and very cool....

what'choo talkin about Willis?

 

[basspraiser]

I believe this bass is the bomb...

...or maybe this bass has bomb, or maybe it drops bombs?

A friend of mine wants that....I told him it would sound like bull manure because it is hollow plastic....he still wants it...

 

[basspraiser]

Really? Don't remember that...although...I'm not a Star Wars nerd like JJ

neither am I

BUT it did drop "bombs".....jus' sayin'...

 

[basspraiser]

I'm back! 55-01 MIK. Found this gem at a rare successful trip to GC. Got it for peanuts too! Installed a pickguard today.

MAJOR....MAJOR congrats man!!!!

welcome back to the koolaide drinkers... extra sugar pleeeze!

If you don't like the bass or the price, don't buy it. It's that simple. The seller has the right to ask whatever price they want, it's a free market.

People have tried to help you privately and publicly here in the thread, if you don't want help, but simply want to complain and bash companies go elsewhere.

I normally wouldn't say this as we're generally a very welcoming bunch of lads and ladies, but you are making it difficult to continue to want to help you.

I'm not bashing..trust me...I love that bass...I just meant whats the big deal with #1 bass. Is there a real value to that? I honestly dont know...that's why I'm asking you guys...you guys have been a big help...shadow and markus both. ..thx. ..

AMEN Brian....

Dude ....buy the bass or stop whining....either it is "worth it " to you or now...

walk away or commit.....

congrats on the new DJ.....we need post mod pics!

It might be a while, especially to find the bridge. Leo won't sell me one.

 

[basspraiser]

And I ended my search by simply ordering another lakland...44-51...Brand new to my specs...now I just have to wait....but its worth it like many have stated before....

I get my jazz and precision I always wanted.....

Oh did I mention ill be eating Ramon noodles till October?

I'm missing something... Isn't a 44-51 the Vintage P style?

I ordered my lakland J bass last week....

I was thinking the same thing.....how does a -51 give you a J?

congrats earl of sandwich.... I guess.

 

[basspraiser]

Oh, I missed that. Congrats! So, you went this route instead of the 44-14? Can I get your thoughts on your decision and why? I was on another thread with you discussing your 44-14 vs Fender CS Jazz. I'm looking at adding a Lakland to my gear and am trying to decide which would fit best.

Thanks!

what "sound" do you want? we can guide.....

 

[overbybr]

A friend of mine wants that....I told him it would sound like bull manure because it is hollow plastic....he still wants it...

The e-string sounds like the death star exploding, and the g-string sounds like a tie interceptor

 

[basspraiser]

I was quoting American Pie

ahh.....been a while since I saw that...

It might be a while, especially to find the bridge. Leo won't sell me one.

REALLY!? he wont????

I think I know a way.... PM coming...
