tort...but thats just MYO.......not that it means anyting..
dudes, a blast from the past.
I owned one of these, twice, and got me hooked deep on Laklands and the Darkstar pickup.
This one is light. I think mine weighed 10lbs.
Lakland DPLEII with factory Hammon Dark Star Pickup[
Get thee behind me....(just Kiddign!)
That's a great bass!!!
...oh but a short one.....20-25 was a regular with at least 2-4 time travelers...
For those of you not familiar with "time travelers"....they were posts that had long since been answered that I answered again (because I answered talkbass 1-2 times a week as I as traveling for work etc.)...and ALWAYS a repeat of what had already been said...
I usually got involved late but tried to assist.....but it's all good for you'se millennials and Gen X-ers.....for you - you did not miss much...
for us...we missed alot...usually due to fogetention.. (the art of forgetting...)

I remember surfin' those waves...
It was sort of majestic, seeing how one man could have an answer and offer a valid, useful opinion on everything...
Question in the group-
Just found this guy passing off clearly fake Lakland merchandise (the deliberately-wrong logo makes me giggle)

I know Lakland care about fake guitars, pretty sure they'll be annoyed about this too.
But it got me thinking: who would buy this?! Lakland is, with the best will in the world, a fairly small-scale manufacturer in an incredibly specialist industry (bass guitar manufacture). Who exactly is this guy trying to sell to? Everyone who owns a Lakland will have done some research into the company and will therefore know that this is fake!

Burst and tort, it's the only combination.
I'd probably not use the pick guard at all, so my vote is to use tape so the mod is reversible.

BTW....I have many opinions.... Some valid and some not so valid
At least that's what my wife and kids tell me...

It's called parenting.
"If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. If daddy ain't happy don't nobody care, but if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy!"
Can't remember who said that, but it did ring a chord with me...
Update: emailed Lakland. They are indeed fake. Got a very nice reply from John Pirruccello

Lakland content, but not a bass. Not mine, this is a pic from the shop.
