Bill Dickens did some country sessions with his Lakland. Absolute beautiful sound. And Im going to get lakland to do my ramps too. Carl is a genius!
Whoaaaa, you've been holding out on us, Markus! Dang, that is sweet, congrats!
*nodding and smiling* I told ya about the 'buckers! I'm still loving the heck out of my Decade, it's so versatile! And Markus, if you haven't tried it yet: Humbucker mode, bridge pup solo'd--downright nasty!
Thanks! Oh yes...I have tried and jogged in place with excitement!
I WANT IT!!!!
I hate to see a Panda cry
Thanks man!
Well I've always said Lakland is my end all bass maker, and they still are, but I haven't owned a 6 since I bought my first 55-94. I'm starting to do a lot more soloing, I'm woodshedding like crazy and it just seems like some of the applications I want to execute in the upper range get stopped prematurely, and I'm beginning to find my 5 strings limiting my scope and potential in the solo sections of what I'm trying to accomplish in my playing.
If Lakland offered a 6, I would buy one in a heartbeat, but I'm pretty darn sure a day of Lakland 6's is far, far away, so I've been prowling in the MTD thread looking at Mike Tobias's 6 string basses, and I've played a couple and although they don't feel as good as a Lakland to me, the tone and craftmanship were on par.
So now I'm gassing a 635 but I feel like a cheating husband looking at another brand. I still love my 55-94's and will never sell them, but I need to expand to an equally well-made 6.

The work that Tobias does is outstanding, hands down. Being local to him, I've had the opportunity to play many MTD and some pre-gibson Tobias basses. They were outstanding. His customer service is second to none and he's very thoughtful in the process of wood selection and construction. If he offered a 34" scale 4 string, I'd have an MTD or two right now.

Didn't someone here buy this a while ago and there were a bunch of problems with it? Or am I confused with something else. I remember a story about a US Lakland someone bought used from GC. Because I actually posted the link. This was maybe October or November?
It was a sherwood green 4-94 that had truss rod issues, wished that one had worked out.
I'm starting a "I hate Markus thread". PM me for numbers, not all at once though.... don't wanna overload the system. 
Hey, explain for me what that tone control does exactly PLEEEEASE.

Nice!! I knew you couldn't resist that bass. That's one beautiful bass man! Congrats Markus!!! I bet it is killer! I talked Kirk into doing an Ash body with a solid color finish on mine, rather than doing alder. I've changed it from Olympic White to Pearl White by the way. Man, I tell you what Kirk has been amazing to work with! Lakland are great people!
Yeah! And Markus' pics are da shizzle!
And, NOT A FINGERPRINT ANYWHERE!! If your not gonna play it Markus, you should just go ahead and let another TBer buy it from you
.
LOL!!! That's hilarious!!! Damn..you're good! The tone control works like a standard tone control on a J or P bass. It rolls off the highs. I figured out that it actually works in active and passive mode.
