wish I still had mine...might have paid for this last round of Laklands!!!

I DO have quite an extensive collection of Star Wars stuff though....hmmmmm.......sell that to fund another....can't even go there!!!
 
Haha, well seeing as how I only have one Lakland, I don't think I could give it up ;)

I may try and pitch this to Dan or the LOG higher-ups. I think it'd be an awesome promo campaign.


It would have to be funded by LOG members...we are having enough trouble gathering coin for the LOG bass givaway!!! Based on the response to date, it may not happen....and the LOG does not have enough cash in the coffers for such a deal...

still.....I agree - t'wood be fun!!!
 
So - I "heard it through the grape vine"....uh sorry - hadda do it....anyways - I hear I am getting gruff for waiting so long to post pics of my new beauty......sorry it took so long....lotsa good excuses, but will not bore you with them...

I will catch up on posts after this....

(YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!):):D

ANYWAYS:

here are some of the first pics....and what a better place to take them than in front of my new Digital HD TV (BTW: the Superbowl looked GREAT on it!):

sorry - my poor photography skills and the lighting do not do the color or MOP blocks justice.....she is really one of the most beautiful basses I have ever seen and does she have a temper!!!!

I played it at church for the first time on Sunday and I will have to admit, it plays better than most of my other Laklands...they are all good, but this one plays sweeter than sweet! John and Greg can attest to that...

after the sevice the sound guy came up to me ans wanted to know what I did different than before because this was the best bass he said he has heard me play yet (and he admitted that was something since he LOVES the rest of the stable)...she growls and has some GREAT tones......inds like a J bass on steroids.....

I am sorry that "Project Ebony" did not come to fruition but this is easing the pain ALOT!!!

now: Surf's up!!!! Post 'em if you can fit 'em in between mine!!!

That bass KILLS! Love it!

now STOP pushing that color!!!!

get your NEXT Lakland in that color and shaaaatup.....

You'll see...if I ever get one that color...you will see why I pushed it...I promise!

Oh - ain't that special? you really are a softy at heart....

BTW "I do" is only 2 words.....but I agree...those are GREAT words to hear......they mean she actually bought into all of that stuff you were shoveling her (I mean those kind promises and words you said when courting!)

Don't tell anyone!:hiding:

Markus....did you catch that ? "IndoPlek" new series perhaps???

I kinda like it.....

I do like the ring to it...

Bongos STILL don't do it for me......sorry.....

Decades are kinda "growing on me".........love the sound....but my 55-07 should cure that!

What is this??...Doug...you said Decades are growing on you...salvation is near!!

THERE you go again with your photshop!!!!

stop it I tell you!!! (LOL!)

That's the real deal...did I every show you my triple neck Lakland?:hiding:
 
That is gorgeous!! AmeriPlek? I can only imagine how nice that looks in person. I know how amazing it sounds.

You have excellent taste in both basses and pickups! I wonder how different the Chi's sound with the stacked tone controls vs. the Skyline V/V/T?

Whoa. How'd I miss *that*?

Doug, I'm jumping on a train sometime in the future. With bottle of scotch and a HUGE empty backpack.

Seriously, this is where being a freelancer sucks. If i brought home even *one* new bass, I'd get the Look of Doom and a stern talking-to about squeezing blood out of, er... stones...
