NICE!!!!! I know what you mean. My new DJ isn't Indo-Plek'd, but it IS Kor-Plek'd, and it plays like a dream.

On a separate, although equally great, note.... Stuart finally got to come home from the NICU today. Apparently, it's pretty rare that they ever let a sub-36 week baby out, but he was really itching to see daddy's Laklands :hyper:
It's pretty awesome to have him home, and it's also VERY cool to have him out of the NICU, since it was costing us almost a US Lakie a day to have him in there (yep, self pay small business employees here). Regardless, we are blessed and couldn't be happier to have him. Who knows, maybe by the end of the week I can actually pick up a bass again ;)

Awesome news my friend! And hilarious how you relate everything to Laklands :D. Maybe we should gauge everything monetary to "Lakie Bucks". "That new car costs 18 US JO Bucks!!" or "I dunno honey, that house you want is over 100 55-94 Bucks!" HEHEHE.

Great pic! And, I bet that bass sounds FAT w/ the flats!


Hey, I think one of us should start a "post your SICK BEM Lakland fretboard pics", maybe make it a vote for the best kinda thing. Stupid, silly??


;) yeah, I'm thinking I'll win :D..... Sexual Chocolate's FB smokes my 55-94's, and I thought it was unparalelled! It'd be some fun excuse for bass porn at least. WhatchY'all think?

Awesome, you got a myspace w/ clips??

Nah, not yet. It's been a mad-dash to try and get this thing done by our first real show at the end of this month, haven't really had time to worry about the MySpace yet. Hopefully coming soon though. A few of the tracks are completely done in terms of recording and are going to be mixed/EQ'd in the next few days.

God it's so much easier to do all this stuff with ProTools. My previous recording experiences were limited to everything mic'd into a crappy PA then going into a laptop running Kristal in my buddy's garage :p


edit: It's not my fav. style of music either, but it's fun. Playing is always better than not-playing :) Plus, to my ears, it's very radio-friendly and mass-digestible. I'd be THRILLED to be able to eventually get a Lakland endorsement through these efforts.

My first stuff was recorded on a pawn shop rescued 4 track recorder (cassette) 19 years ago. Talk about crappy recordings!! Made it onto the radio though, "Tennessee Tapes" is what the radio station called the local rock time slot. God we sucked, LOL.

Haha, the best part was listening to some of the pre-EQ'd tracks last night and me saying "Man, the bass sounds amazing" and the harmonica/band-leader saying "Yeah, I haven't EQ'd it yet, and I don't think I even need to."
