Lakland Owners Group #69

#22
Hey guys, do you know who paints the Lakland basses? Is it them or another co.?

I ordered a SFG 51 P bass with flakes in paint but I haven't seen Laklands with flake paint to get an idea. Is there a pic here floating around?...Also, do Lakland basses have couple layers of clear coat on them? I originally wanted heavy sparkle but Lakland said they really don't do that....bummer, I love SFG heavy sparkle basses man....

Oh man that is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Pat Wilkins in Cali? So why did they say they can't do heavy flake? That looks heavy flake......I wanted that same style but SFG....They're doing flake for me, so please tell me it will look like that PLEASE!

EDIT
They said it will have same flake size as candy apple red basses...isn't that small though?

From Brian at Lakland

A point of clarification; our US production guy just told me that I had it a bit wrong - the only portion of that finish that's similar to the candy apple style of finish is the size of the metal flakes used in the paint. So, in other words, it's the same Sea Foam Green color as our standard SFG - - it's just that it has the same size flakes as the candy apple red. It was my misunderstanding. There would be no additional layers of paint, like it would be if it were a true 'candy apple' finish.

So does this mean it will be like candy red paint look but green?

Ah...I see....makes sense! Too bad, those basses look soooo nice.....

I can't even judge the candy red because they do like 4 layers of paint or so to give that deep look....It's a candy paint thing, which I'm not getting...oh well....6 months to go whooopie!!

Damn Markus, how many Lakland basses have you owned? I see your famous wood floor in old posts and on internet everywhere with a beautiful bass lying on it! Lucky you!

I just got an opportunity to get a 44-AJ for 870 or 55- AJ for around 900, and I might be getting a discount. Do any of you own either of these, are they nice? Are those good prices? What's better, the 4 or 5 string version?
