YES! Totally! I'll be there sporting triple-chi and Caribbean Burst E-high C!
I didn't get to take a lot of pics, helped working at LowEnd booth. But, I got to talk to Leo and I took this pic on the run!
Ha ha!!!!! GREAT to see you Jess!!!!
your favorite word has been used ALOT lately!
Here you go:
Good grief, man... What's the tale on that last white one? And the white PJ with the accompanying jar of moonshine?
The white PJ is named "White Lightnin' " (hence the moonshine.....)
It is a passive PJ with V/T V/T.
Long story short (I will try)....The neck is from Black Beauty (55-76).....the body was the ORIGINAL P5 body hand cut by Carl as a "proof of concept" body....this was done WAY before the P5 prototype (the orange one that is floating around here somewhere)....Carl mated the 2 and made it a PJ at my request. It is painted "blue pearloid white" by Pat and has a pearloid guard which Carl told me he would NEVER cut a new one for this particular bass (the guard has a few odd angles etc). It has Hanson Vintage P and J (split J) pickups and the covers were painted to match by Pat. It is currently strung with Sadowsky Black label flats (which I hate to admit but I like!)
Here are a few samples of the bass (forgive the bad playing in spots and mistakes):
The Active J was built by Leo Lopez at lakland as one of his personal basses about a year ago....he found he rarely played it so he put it up for sale a bit ago. I saw a picture and wanted it....we swung a deal and it is now in the collection: Oly white with ebony board...LH3 pre-amp and Fralin J pickups. great sounding bass!
Meh, it's got too many strings anyway.
Great playing and clips. I especially like With a Little Help.
Gig shots from last night. Old Joe brought the thunder and The Kraken dished it out!
Had a great weekend playing both Sat and Sun at a popular Belgian beer cafe here in New Zealand. They were celebrating Belgian Day.
Here's an action shot with the band and my Lakland
