I loved it. Very nice playing and a gorgeous looking bass.

Man that looks cheap and low quality. Looks like a $9 strap, not a $35.00 strap befitting a Lakland.

2 older ones sold fast in the classifieds

Are these the same type of straps they used to offer years ago? Carl mentioned that Lakland used to sell woven straps at one time when I was asking about a bass with neck dive a while ago.

Similar but no. Those were available when the LOG first started. I think we got a deal on them. The leather end looks the same but the woven material is thicker and more substantial. They're comfortable and don't slip. They're nice straps. I have two black ones. They were available in black and cream. I agree that these look cheap in comparison and totally unappealing.

These look different than the ones on the website now, better even.

Nicely done ShowKing -

Tasteful playing, good group. Very tastefully done.

Thanks for the clip, ShowKing. You guys are great. Is there a way for those of us in the USA to buy the EP?

 

[Killens84]

Yep, they will just make it past the nut on the low B

Thanks so much. Needed to know before I spent the money.

Gig pic with the latest band. I tried out and they cancelled auditions... must've been the Lakland.

No doubt, that bass would make any band cancel auditions! That's a pretty fast gig turn-around. Were the songs already familiar?

I've been experiencing no lack of band drama lately. Its making me do things not unlike Texan, but for me, its sell a couple basses, buy an upright, and start on a whole new adventure. More details to come.

Very interesting, sounds like your mixing it up again and there's nothing wrong with that

I don't think Lakland makes one of those...

We must share a brain...I was considering the thing.

I think I had 9 days to learn all their original material, 10 songs that I'd never heard. It's hard rock with some fast licks. I think I impressed them by learning it all by ear at home. The gig went well, the other 3 bands at the gig were very welcoming and said they'd never have guessed I was new to the band. . I even played my sparkle stingray.

You played the sparkle stingray in a hard rock venue?

Simply awesome
