Whelp, I guess I'm solidifying myself as a full-on LOG member now having picked up my second Lakland in very short order (that low "B" is pretty dang addictive!). Just bought this Skyline 55-60 Custom Joe Osbourne from another member. It's killing me that I can't spend more time with it as I was immediately out the door on a business trip shortly after it arrived. Only got one picture of it thus far and have only played it for about 5 minutes. One of my favorite bass players uses a US 55-60 Custom so it's been on my GAS list for quite some time. Can't wait to spend a little time and bond with it.
You could say that I have a bit of an obsession with blocked & bound necks. (I’ve since sold several of these off to help fund my two Lakland’s.)
I too am a huge block fan!
Hello... My name is Doug....I'm a blockaholic....
Hello... My name is Doug....I'm a blockaholic....
funny, I've gone full circle several times on the block thing. sometimes I love it, sometimes I really like a clean plank.
Not quite blocks, but I was putting new strings on my BG5 (DR Legends, digging them so far) and figured I’d take a pic or two... the be maple dots are a nice touch...
Alright, someone else trying out the DR Legends. They seem pretty good to me so far but in my case it's too many new things at once. New to J style 55-94, new to Chi-sonics, new to a 5 string and then adding a string type I haven't used before. But be trying other strings to compare later. Fun in the sun. Lol.
