I loved that bass while I had it.. wouldn't it be nice to have it back.
Very hot bass (I'm a sucker for blue), and I love the combo of the MK500 and ABM410 in your sig. I use both and just added an ABM115.
Me too, but...

And they're only $25!

Well I guess I am an official owner now. And I love it! I can't believe how versatile the sound is. Uggghhhhhh
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.

I think I should have joined this group long ago, but who holds the record for most Lakland's owned?
3 - 55-02's
2 - Darryl Jones 5's
3 - Bob Glaubs
5 - Joe Osbornes
1 - Hollowbody
I'm probably far from the record, but 14 is a lot of Laklands to have owned.
Still currently own 4.
this one is back safe and sound. if i sell it again i should be banned from this place.

i feel lonely right now...i have these two 4 string basses that are disfigured in some fashion and then i don't have my amp anymore.
so i can't play! hehe...i could play ampless, but that's just not the same for me with these oh-so-awesome basses.![]()
Then sanity took hold, what stayed are:
Gold P/J 4-94
..
are you bringing the Fretless to the GTG?![]()
Hehe! Man, that's a killer bass, Evan. If I was into fretless and had the cash, it would be mine by now.

What's not to love!

With any luck I'll be updating this in 5-6 months with the new addition.
off the TV pic-

I thought I saw a sunburst DJ with stacked knobs somewhere. Pretty sure it wasn't a DJ. Making a plate wouldn't be too difficult. I could draw it up and imprt it into Rhyno 3D and export a dxf, or similar file that could be cut. Drill some holes, and bevel the screw holes, then off to chroming. I really think I saw one...unless I was dreaming![]()
