Michael tends to be pretty busy with Stryper, my guess is that he won't really tour super hard behind the record, but who knows? Great guy to work with, btw!
Guys, does anyone know if is lakland planning release a 6 strings bass model (not like that guitar-a-like one)?
buy 2 laklands, tape them together, and you can have anywhere between 8 and 10 strings!
INTERESTING concept for a video.....
the bass sounds GREAT!
I love that you have a cello in the band...I love strings....
HOPEFULLY tomorrow if he snow does not keep the deal from happening....
Let's just say I could not pass it up...
tidbit:...it is active....and 5 strings...with a subtle but cool body color/fretboard color thang going on...

Double neck lakie....I think we need a Markus Photoshop....maybe a 55-94 and a Scheff or 55-94 and a 55-07 double neck.... (?)
So I picked up my "new to me" bass today! was well worth the long drive to meet Leo and his son Leo Junior! Leo even bought me dinner at Pottbellies Sandwiches!
I cannot get any good pics because it is late and dark...not sure when I will get pics due to my busy work schedule BUT here are some details:
US 5560
Olympic White
matching headstock
LH3 pre-amp
Single coil -Fralins
no pickguard
rear access panel
Ebony fretboard
no face dots (but has side dots)
light weight body
This bass was built for Leo about a year ago and he never really played it...so it is in "like new" condition. There is not a blem on the bass.
The bass itself is a really nice creamy oly white....I was expecting a bit more "white" but this has a really nice aged look to it....for some of you older LOG members, you might remember JJ's "banana cream" colored JO....this is just as nice hue-wise.
The LH3 and Fralins sound GREAT! I spend a lot of time just fooling around with the knobs....there is much variability (as those of you who have an LH3 equipped bass know!).
It is currently strung with Lakland light gage nickels which I have never played....they have a great sound and there is plenty of "zing" if I want it...the "zing" can be toned down with the treble and mid range knobs....the beautiful ebony freeboard (one of the darkest I have seen) gives the bass an interesting "edgy" sound....and the neck is as comfortable as the rest of my Lakie necks!
This bass is extremely unique (yes it is "kinda like" an AJ55.....but not quite)....and I am very proud to be her new owner!
I cannot wait to play here this upcoming week.....
Now for a name.....suggestions are welcome.
I guess this is "this year's bonus" quite a bit early....now I just have to work hard so I "deserve" it....
