If i was to order an exotic top 55-94 (which I am debating), I would hope to get a top that nice. Buckeye can be very hit and miss with me, but those darker ones that look like marble are the bee's knees. Beautiful.
If you get a hold of Leo Lopez at Lakland... he can send you pix of tops in progress and you can pick... That's how I got mine.... It was a body... hoping to be a bass and offered pre NAMM... so in this case, I got to " open the Kimono " and see what was underneath before marrying her....
I got mine from Sweetwater, although not a buckeye burl, it is a flamed walnut burl. These are stunningly beautiful basses. I'm very happy and impressed with mine.
Thank you and yours, as well. I'm not sure what Lakland is up to, but there is, what appears to be, a whole series of basses like this...nicely figured tops, gold hardware, different fingerboard options, black headstock. Something about those combinations. I was just sort of browsing and saw the one I got and was hooked! Well played Lakland. Well played.
Lakland US Decade 6 Bass Guitar | eBay
Unless bidding goes crazy, someone's gonna be getting a great deal on a Decade 6! I'm not affiliated, but I hope someone in the club gets it!
Side note: anyone know why Lakland only modifies their necks short scale instruments? I'd love a SS Decade or Hollowbpdy (full bodied version), but need more that 18 frets. I'd think it make more sense to move the bridge forward a few inches.

Looks like some real tight string spacing

Where at? It seems like the nut width and bridge are pretty standard for these basses
I'm headed march 6 to the lakland factory ... see what I can find ! You know I will have I brin something home
I'm still on the fence about selling my Duck Dunn, I love the feel and sound. I just opt for my Jazzes more. The Ducks are really special because is no fender equivilent. But, I'm doing more guitar work lately and could use a Les Paul, the money from the Duck would get me closer...what to do...
I bought from a great guy on the Lakland Facebook page
You will love the trip....
Make sure to visit Carl as well... You will never forget him! He's the mad scientist of bass builders....
Do what you have to do....
A newer Les Paul would be nice..
Interestingly I'm leaning more P bass than j bass these days...
