Tres Spinal Tap :thumbsup:
Yes sir!

as in "none blacker"
Yep :-)

Bass and strap, sexy black combo!
Thanks, Max!

Beauteous, JJ! I really do have to place an order with John one of these days.
Once you start, you'll be getting a new strap for every bass... which is a good thing. I have over 10 Gecko straps now, and have given several away when I've sold basses to friends. And, John and I are talking about another one for my multi-colored Stingray.

I'm gonna have to check out the Gecko straps.. not sure why I haven't heard of them..
I have a Levys 4.5" on my Duck Dunn, it helps with the weight, but it's just so dang wide..
I do have an Italia strap, 4"... I really like that width... just can't stand the suede backing... it has roughly 10 hours of use.. gonna be selling it
 
Needing to sell my Scheff Signature serial # JS22.
Purchased from JediBass Jodi not that long ago.
Jodi and I both wanted to make sure to give LOGers first stab at it.
$2700 shipped.

Condition is practically perfect in every way.
I am a bedroom musician and this bass has never left my home studio. Played only a few hours.

Comes with a custom Gecko Strap (see photos)
& OHSC (also pictured)

John (Gecko 5) can make the perfect strap for you!

If I didn’t have a wedding looming, she would be coming back to me! Someone help Chris out. A more important thing has come up, in his life, and he needs to move this one of a kind, insanely awesome instrument.

I just ordered a custom strap from Gecko for my 10lbs Duck Dunn bass. It’s a 4” Bison strap with red stitching to match my baby. I should have it in my hands this coming Monday. It looks amazing. And he was an awesome person to work with. Highly recommended.

Chris, I’m sorry you have to let it go. That is an awesome bass! I played it when JJ had it. If had the coin, I would be all over it. Whoever decides to buy it should love it. I know I did when I played it.

Love the strap John made for me. He was great to work with. I call it a slider because the 4 inch part, which is padded slides for adjustment.
 
So things being as they are I'm having to go into full on Used Car Salesmen Mode and SLASH Prices on all our current Lakland Models!!!!
Everything MUST go.

I'm selling BOTH of my Rare/Unique Laklands for a CRAZY $2163 each.
So the Scheff is still for sale at the new price
&&
I've listed my 44-76 as well. For those not in the know it is essentially a Lakland Stingray.

As usual I will entertain offers but at those prices you would be getting a steal.
