Lakland Owners Group #69

[basspraiser]

Come in Doude!! I used to only play 6ers. Take it from me, if you can't do it with 4 (I'm considering a 3 string) then something is wrong man!

Don't use my G string often ( [emoji33] that doesn't sound good...!!!). But I do use it enough for octaves etc.....so I need at least 4 strings.

The reason I use a fiver is the we do some songs in Eb Db etc....need the ability to easily get those notes in multiple octaves...

The few times I was in possession of a five string, it was well suited for worship music. It allowed me to stay in the same position longer.

And 3 octave runs[emoji6]

My wife and I went to see Nick Lowe in concert tonight, and his backing band was the fabulous Los Straitjackets. (Great show!) No, there were no Laklands on stage, but we did run into JP and his wife as we were leaving.

I'd believe you, but I know that all men are liars...

Forgot to mention: I believe I saw Pat from Wilco saying hi to JP as we were leaving, but it was tough to tell as it was crowded. I expect to see at least one Lakland in action tonight as we happen to be seeing Wilco in concert!

Thanks, we did! 2 and a half hour show, including an all-acoustic mini-set at the end. John Stirratt alternated between a vintage Fender J, a Hofner and his Dark Star Glaub.

So the USA basses no longer say the country of manufacture on the back of the headstock?

You have a new bass with no label?

 

[Johnny Alien]

The one Black bart is selling. In the photos I don't see a Made in the USA label on the back of the headstock.

It's under the drop tuner lever.

 

[overbybr]

I have an early serial number JO and it doesn't have a Made in Chicago or Made in USA on the back....

The best one I saw was that Jazz that Markus has with the rosewood neck and abalone inlays... Lasers!

 

[Johnny Alien]

Before the Skyline series they didn't have any markings.

I go out of town on business in the middle of week and come back to this?

Just showing off my rare CAR w/maple board 55-01. One of the first 300 built. Originally had Gotoh style tuners. I replaced them with US Hipshot Ultralights. The preamp has also been upgraded to a US Bartolini 5.2AP preamp. Bass has extremely low action. I have tried other pickups including Bart MK5's and Nordie Big Splits. I ended up putting the MK1's back in. I may try the MK5's again in the future.

I have the same pre and mk1's in mine and it sounds great. I keep toying with changing the pups, but why mess with a good thing.
