Original nut. Original truss rod was repaired/anchored at Lakland leaving a dot at the first fret.

I can second that. Have played it briefly. That neck is one of the best I have played. The Barts and pre, vintage Lakland! Great bass.
Thanks! I played it earlier and the action is probably closer than any bass I own. It’s going to get a seasonal truss rod tweak. I also think it’s time to throw a fresh layer or two of tru oil on the neck. I’ve heard that it should be done once or twice a year and I’ve never done it to any of my Lakies.
Sacrilege!!!
Church Bassist Replaced With Cardboard Cutout
But I have to admit... Funny...
In my " weekly church gig" the organ takes over periodically for the bass in the contemporary songs...( Due to Covid)..as the praise band is down to keyboard and (1) guitar...
But at least the organist ( who is a GREAT LADY and who ( and her husband) are good friends) has admitted... "When I play I think WWDD"(What Would Dougie Do?)
Gotta love her!!!
PS... Anyone HERE calls me "Dougie" I'll have guys on your front porch faster than you can say " give me an E scale....in double time!"... Remember..I live in Chicago..I got people...

Yes! I love that dude! I told him recently how much we appreciate him and what he’s done for Lakland.
Me too...
He's such a humble dude... But I don't think Lakland would be anywhere as great if he were not involved from the start
We need to appreciate him more!!!!
He’s currently creating a special bass for me. And, eventually I’ll have the funds for another Carlo.
Sacrilege!!!

In my head I still call you Dougie, but I'm super old-school, and called you that in person... LOL
No issues dude... But we're old buds so it's ok...
But shhhhh... Don't tell the newbies!!!! (Wink)
That's for the inner circle...

I have some insight as to what it will be. VERY UNIQUE! Can’t wait to see it and more importantly, to hear it! Could be the blueprint for some future builds. To be continued.
