Very nice Douglas! Congratulations!

Thanks much!

We need to bring back the Kane!!!

 

[Holdsg]

that top and with the EMGs, that is very Spector-like, which is a huge compliment from me.

holy time warp...the Kane treatment is really from the wayback machine

 

[BHaev]

INCOMING!!!!!

For your viewing pleasure...

Carl has been working on this for just about a year.

He and I picked out the wood together and of course he did his excellent job of putting it all into one nice cohesive package

Believe it or not, the fretboard is rosewood and not ebony even though it is so dark.

Yes...it's a roasted neck...my first

Pickups are EMGs...with an EMG PRE Which JJ recommended

Carl says they sound excellent and I cannot wait.

I really wish I could Deb you it on Sunday but I cannot get down to the shop in time

I will be going sometime next week and then I will be traveling on several of the following Sundays so it may be a while before this gets played in church

Oh my, that is a gorgeous 55-01! Love the body wood and the roasted neck tops it off perfectly. Can you explain the C logo on headstock? Is this a Lakland variant I’m not familiar with?

This is not a 5501...it's a custom build...just similar in looks to a 5501.

The C means it's a Carlo...built by Carl Pedigo...Lakland's first employee!

Carl runs a company called Chicago Bass Doctor and builds great custom basses....I have several

He works in a shop on the same property as Lakland

So...is it a "Lakland"?

That's a bit of a debate but we all agreed early on in the LOG that these would be accepted within the tribe....

Hey, got my first Lakland—can I join? Do y'all do numbers?

I like Spectors a lot! ;-)
