Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics and propaganda.

I use reverse FUD when I buy cars...and it always works :)

Not so much with the cable/internet/telephone company....I try but they are such losers....they have no feelings....pure robots so FUD does not work. (can you tell I am not happy with my current business provider? :rollno::***::rage::dead:

Oh, okay. So that's the answer? They moved manufacturing so the wood supply is different? Is one wood better than another?

he bought it....hook line and driftwood! :D:hyper: (JK)

well...they DID switch production locations but this "switch" inherently did not have anything to do with the change in weight...however, the "new provider" does have a tendency to get lighter wood....so...think what you will. (and see my previous post)

The 44-02s are still ash. Now if there is a particular difference in the species of ash that is being sourced, you would have to ask Lakland. I'm sure that there is some density difference between species but we need a Forester to answer that because I have no idea how great the difference is. That could be/probably is a picking the fly poop out of the pepper type thing.

Again....Carl is my source..Swamp ash is lighter but "better" in his opinion than other ash....when I asked him why...is typical "Carl essence" he said "It just is"......end of story..and I trust him ....I have learned to trust his judgement and wisedom.

Not in my travels. The sound is consistent with nuances. As much as it is an oxymoron, they all sound similar yet different. I went through three 55-02s, two 55-01's and four 44-02s before I found the basses that I bonded with. They were all very similar and consistent but had different "voices". Disclaimer: I'm REALLY weird and believe that because guitars are made from living things that they are as unique as people.

Neither, that the stage at Diamond Jim's Country Saloon on Texas City, Texas. They are big supporters of the military and Vets. The entire place is filled with military, POW, Texas and American flags. Its actually a great gig, there are 2 huge AC vents over the stage, which makes it the only gig that I've never gotten sweatty at!
