Official Lakland Owners Group #13

Lets see...it is 7:15 there now....that gives you about 12 hours to do some serious testing and sound clips and to give me a FULL report in the AM that I can read/listen to while drinking my tea....go forth and do young (cough cough) man!!!

Shoot...I don't have a maple boarded bass....Nathan won't let me use his

 

[basspraiser]

Yeah, just don't post on there much and don't know how many members there are.

on TB there are over 300 members on the LOG there are about 130+ signed up now....we SHOULD be able to get 45-50 basses out of that many people!

but - to answer your intitial question....anyone can get one.

 

[basspraiser]

Hey all......geez, you guys are hardcore.....part 13 eh?

I played a skyline Glaub the other day......a used one for just over 5 bills. I was so impressed with the bass...I haven't played a Lakland in a while and this one was really great.

So, does Lakland make a 5 string PJ yet? 34" scale?

the BG5 was just released as a US model recently and a Skyline model is in the works....check out: Link Removed for more info.

the Glaub is a SWEET bass! you can get a P converted to a P/J for a reasonable fee at most Luthiers....

the scale on all Lakland 5ers is 35".....that is how they get the B to ring as true as it does.....

Peace:

Doug

B-E-A-utiful!

PANDA?????? this is your time to own a Lakland........

 

[basspraiser]

That picture answers the question - PEARL!!!!

I agree....I think mine will be ordered with pearloid!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

I feel queezy.....

me tooooo.......ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[basspraiser]

Yeah, this is the one that put Teal over the top for me... just think if we could've gotten the blocks

That is soooo sweet! He always does Abalone blocks.....you should see Lakland's abalone blocks....oh man! talka bout beauty!!!! that is the ONLY thing that would have made my JOCS look any better!!!

 

[basspraiser]

LOL! I'm a lifelong Dolphins fan, but even I couldn't do that.

Greg...I thought you might comment on that!!!

 

[basspraiser]

yeah - a US Model and SL Gold

Ferg...we tried, but....I will do Teal....with the CHis - you might as well....give into the force.......

 

[basspraiser]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! LPB looks sooooo hawt!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

I'm down to my final 3 basses...my family portrait.

All Lakland.

L to R: Skyline JO5 PJ5 (3TS, Nordstrand P/U, J-Retro); USA JO5 Olympic white (Alder Body), Skyline DJ5 (Black on Black Swamp Ash Body, Nordstrand Pickups).

I'm debating on taking the j-retro out and having the stable be all passive. Any input?

nice collection!!!

The P/J 5er is very enticing......what pickup is the P?

I am thinking of swapping out my Jretro as well...I LOVE it, but passive J is calling to me!!!

 

[GregC]

Fixed your fix, Greg.

Well, there is that. But you have time to come up with the cash.

I'm thinking you have yet to own a Chi equipped bass, and therefor are oblivious to the glory and power that will be at your fingertips.

Preach it!

 

[GregC]

Here's my Hollowbody. These Dark Stars are live!
Can I get a number?

Very nice! I played a Dark Star'd hollowbody last weekend, it was very cool.

 

[basspraiser]

Anyone have a rough idea of when the BG5 Skyline will be on general sale?

check out: Link Removed for your answer....

 

[basspraiser]

I like them all better with the rosewood board.

we think alike young man!!!!

Pearl for me!!!

 

[basspraiser]

that teal is working for me, just lose the spare string!!

easy enough Terry!!! I see you are selling your DD....money to buy something else?

 

[basspraiser]

You got it amigo! Boy...really quiet around here today...where's Doug...I've been floating out here in the tide, freezing my Ernie balls off.

Right here!!!! sorry I am a day late!!! how are the "ernie's" BTW? not too frozen I hope!!???

 

[basspraiser]

I think I saw Doug's 55-07 in Bass Player Mag...in the Bass Bash coverage. Did you see that Doug?

scan it and send it over.....maybe I need to get this issue!!!

 

[basspraiser]

It would be cool if we could get it stock with the Pearl or Tort, to save SOME of the people some money (I'd like both, just to mix things up every once in a while).
Just a thought.

your wish has been partially granted!!!
