A real blast from the past!!

Yup collectible first edition staps!

I've been rocking DR Pure Blues on the 76 and Sunbeams on the Scheff. My god those Sunbeams are MELLOW. With generous mids cut they sound damn near perfect.

I played Sunbeams for years before going to the MJCs... sunbeams are awesome strings!

MJCs?
I've yet to find a DR string I don't like.
Got a pair of Nickel Low Riders I want to try out soon

MJCs?

Bass - MJC Ironworks

I’ve not tried them.

Don’t go too deep down the rabbit hole of string experimentation. You can quickly end up flustered with a lot less $$ than when you started LOL.

nah...im good bro.
Just sticking w/my current faves.
new strings will require new bass as what I have on my current basses will remain.
P = D'Adario Chromes
J = GHS Brite Flats
76 = DR Pure Blues
Scheff = Sunbeams
granted for each bass I'd be willing to try different sets of the same basic type of string etc...but if I wanted to mess w/stainless steel rounds ...that would be a new (to me) bass.

A 4-94 perhaps???

The next will be a 94.
How distinctive will it be from my other Laklands?

 

[Holdsg]

well, that's where they all started, so it'll be different than your P or J or 76 or Scheff

Cool. I'm definitely down. Need a Blue Lakland anyway

 

[citizenchris099]

Lol "need"

 

[Mohawk]

Lol "need"

I 'need' a custome Lakland 5 string fretless PJ but I've been able to fight of the GAS so far. But when sanity returns and the gigs start back up.....all bets are off.

 

[citizenchris099]

So what do you guys think of Darkglass stuff?

Very much so... The -94 series is a bass all to itself!

It's all basses in one and it's own bass at the same time....

It's the true Lakland!!!

But it's them all as well!

Great post Gman!

Oh yeah!!!!!

Baby ... Come to Pappa!

That sounds like a great bass!!!!

I've always wanted a fretless P.......

A fretless PJ? WOW.... Best of both words...

Added to my list of " wants". ..........("Needs")...

 

[JEDI BASS]

But it's them all as well!

Great post Gman!

The 44-94 doesn’t do a Scheff, IME & IMO. But then, there’s plenty who think the 94’s P, J, and MM sounds aren’t close enough. Like I said in an earlier post though, I never used my 94s to mimic the big 3. I fell in love with the old Bart-loaded 94’s own sound.

As long as it does it's own thing I'll be good with it. Dont need a swiss army bass as I have an actual p and J. Dont have a ray but I genuinely love my 76 way more than that Ray Special I had.
