Lakland Owners Group #69

My "go to" live bass is an old (2008) Joe Osborn from when they were still called that. Finally made my peace with the Hanson pick ups, which are really wonderful in a live setting.

Recently I dug out my old (2006) 4-94 which I put on the shelf quite a few years ago. Mistake! I am older now and the neck on this bass really loves my crippled old hands so I have brought this out of retirement. At least until I get new strings on my JO.

I judge all necks against my 4-94’s. Better suited to my hands than a 1.5” nut.

It's been a while since I shared photos of my Lakland stable/porn.

1. Custom Skyline Jerry Scheff 4-String in Lake Placid Blue (LPB) with rare Maple Fretless with Ebony Lines neck and US Style Hipshot Tuners including Drop-D Tuner. This required some mechanical ingenuity and deemed impossible by many - which was enough for me to push through the task.

2. US 4-94 in Copper with Matte Black Pick Guard, Rosewood fret board, and Hipshot Drop-D Tuner.

Both remain in minty fresh condition.

Carry on...
