Lakland Owners Group #69

I'm pimping out my BG - while swapping out the Neopunch for the Fralins, I'm changing the p'up covers and putting the tort guard on.

Gosh, it's been so long since I've been on here, not out of want but simply that I've just been play'in the bass! Man, so good. P bass, Musicman, Miscellaneous sounds, all there. (Not jazz bass though, even with the humbuckers set to single coil, VERY different) I think the strange pickup placement lends itself to this. It's almost like having a pickup in the P position (front) MM position (middle) and an added bonus with an extra pickup squeezed in there between the middle pickup and the bridge.

The bass does sound nice and dark with this mahogany body. So drastically different from the other one which is Cut City. Great to have that low B again too. 34" scale feels so nice.

When I feel like I need more cut, I just play the blue one with singles. It's a nice thing to have variety.

I was gonna wait for a new Lakland Thread to repost , but Eh, oh well.

Sweet!

Glad you like it do much! I am NOT surprised that there is no J bass setting.....but hey.....you got Ssoooooo many more sounds to choose from..

Nice three some!
 
We are very happy with the look and sound of our 55-60´s BajosXclusivos Limited Edition that we sale exclusive in Latin America... We sale all the stock, but we take one for our personal arsenal... The 55-60 BX with Chisonics surprises every player that put his hands on this baby... his sound is simple amazing... Great job Lakland!!!
Some pics just to share with the Lakland Club #69 ...

Killer basses!

Yup....the chisonics are crazy nice!
Played mine at church Sunday.....very good in the mix but with a personality....
 
Haven't posted the sisters in a while....so, thought I would throw them in today! And the fact that I am about to add another sibling to the family makes it even better! Going this weekend to pick up a used DJ5. I owned a DJ4 with the Aero pups until like a fool I sold it to fund another bass. So, I cannot wait to get one back in the family!

Since no-one minded last time, here's another vid of Rob Mercurio with his Lakie HB. Different band this time, Dragon Smoke. Seems Rob keeps his HB for the side projects.



I'm really starting to wish I'd kept my HB.


nothing wrong with a sweet bass being used in "side projects".... :)

thanks for the video!

There is a sweet Gold HB in the classifieds now!
