Lakland Owners Group #69

Glad you like the bass (I was the guy on the other end of the auction)!



I pulled the control plate for a peek. The wires are red and green, which means they're Hansen pups (as I understand it).

Thanks for saving me the time of pulling the plate to find out... The neck is a thing of beauty, and I can't wait to try it out this weekend!

A little preview...

So how long before we see the hardware back on these bad boys?

GregC- Thanks for the help. I just joined the Lakland Owners group as well. The pelham blue Gibson is a Les Paul Jr....it has a crack in the neck that I'm currently having repaired. Goes nicely with my short scale hollow-body.

Thanks again!

Greetings all! I travel for the company I work for, (not musically affiliated), but I do play the bass. I happened upon this store in Woburn, Massachusetts. They sell Lakland and G&L basses. http://performancemusiccenter.com/

Thought I would post for those that may be interested.

awesome!

thanks!

I'm working on a little solo EP to sell at my solo gigs around town and such and recorded this version of the Beatles' 'Nowhere Man' with my fretted 55-01 the other day. I got a Boomerang Phrase III looper for Christmas and it has made a lot of solo tunes and writing for solo gigs so much easier. Anyway, this is all a 55-01 with Lakland Custom Wound light gauge strings. Thought some folks might enjoy hearing it. Really versatile tone on these basses, even stock!

There are some other solo pieces on there as well... here's an additional link to an original, 'Transference'.

Definitely fun. And I think that there is more flake on that one than the infamous Markus Sparkle Turd.

LOL! Yeah...it is flakier than MST. MST was never late for work.

Lee, is that a sonic blue or surf green on the side stripe?

 

[saltymonkey]

Those are both great. Two tone really suits the shape of the DJ. Is that a Marty Bell sparkle?

Excellent! Man, that body binding is sexy as hell. Don't think I've ever seen that on a Lakie before.

It's a surf green stripe, charcoal metallic frost binding. Marty did all 4 refins, and killed it! Those two are my favorite. I'll be putting strings on the 3 I have in hand (Carl Pedigo has the other) and hopefully I'll have the lighting to take some good photos!

I think he has a similar finish on another bass, but this one is way cooler!

Marty eh, I'll keep that in mind for Old Joe...

If he can do a large metallic flake like Markus had on that CAR decade, he's my guy!

He's your guy! Markus had Pat do that finish, but Pat no longer does big fleck finishes due to it clogging his equipment. So that leaves Marty.

Correct! This guy. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I have one of his basses... But it's getting sold in the name of Lakland

I saw you put it up a few weeks back, then take it down

Is it a P? I just looked for it but didn't see it. His P basses are beautiful.
