the black pearl is cool. Have you tried mint yet?
I realized I like guards with some texture.
Black without a doubt! That probably means you like the other one!
No...I like the black too!
i concur. message is authentic.
I'll take it down for a month ( I just wont bump it) - I'm actually diggin it...see where we are then
well now i'm gonna have to donate more blood!
Congrats on the house, Jedi! Ooh, a separate music room. Very nice.Too busy!I'll be at the bottom of the "posts per thread" list this time. Oh well, I'M GETTING A HOUSE!!
I took three years off after my divorce, I was burned out on the married/homeowner role, mowing once a week, home maintenance, etc, etc. Anyways, I'll have a music room w/ all my Lakies hanging on the walls.
Missed out on buying back my US JO5 from Spencer
Yes the black pearl is a looker for sure.
You should also try a Blk/wht/blk on it, looks awesome on Inca Silver, very classy!

I'm going back and forth now
The silver-gray pearl does give it a Music Manish combo...which is cool. But black pearl is good too. I'll tka some better photos and get them posted. those are kinda dark.I thought of that, but I tend to like some texture in my guards.

can't have that!
someone's a happy new 55-02 owner!! i might miss it for a little while til i can get my paws on a certain amber quilt 4 string.04/15/2009 4:54 P.M. DELIVERY
Me too, but...
And they're only $25!
I like it on the HB, but the J has a lot more surface area. I like to break it up a little. $25 though...pretty good gamble!
can't have that!
I do like Musicman's though...just not even a sconch as much as a Lakland

yes yes...i'm even now contemplating if i should even let the DJ go to Lakland so i can save that money for the 4-76...but right now i'm still leaning towards going for it and i'm gonna do a special request on it.
Hey guys, don't know if this is the best place to post this question but...
Just wanted to know your opinions of the Plek thing that Lakland does?
The action was kind of high on used US Joe Osborn I just bought so I thought I would put some new strings on it (DR Nickel Lo-Riders 105-45) and do a set up on it. It was a bit buzz'y with the dead strings in came with but after setting it up to Lakland spec (which is pretty close to the same as what I do on my American Standard Jazz) it is really bad. The E string from the 8th to 15th fret is all but unusable and the G is pretty bad from the 9th to 14th fret. Strange enough the A and D are almost perfect The neck relief is fine, even higher that what Lakland recommends so it seems to need a bit of a fret level. I was thinking about taking it up to Lakland to have it Plek'd. Never played a Plek'd bass so I don't really know if it will be worth it but the frets are so small on this thing I would really hate to take it to a local bozo and get it screwed up.
Would be grateful for your opinions.
