question #1

Great links. #1 was just what I was looking for! Very helpful. (I've been searching web up and down for such a demo for weeks... a little annoyed that I never came across that one. It's perfect.)

#2 was probably more depressing than helpful, but helpful nonetheless.

A Lakland really is a one-stop shop. I feel so smart for choosing to play them.
 
Actually I think I want to keep it....I asked myself to give myself 5 reasons to sell it? And I couldn't come up with them! I'm starting to connect with her....more than a feeling:ninja:

GREAT song!!!!

BTW - are you SURE this time???? I thought you had "somehting special" planned....or is it "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with"?
 
Okay, so I went down to Club Bass today and play quite a few basses (even a new US Jo4) and though all of them were very nice nothing quite struck the cord (all puns intended) that ol' #090 did. Before I left for Chicago this morning I googled direction from Club Bass to Lakland and hadn't realized how close they were. I called over and talked to Carl to see if he could take a quick look at my JO and he seemed excited when I told him it was #090 and to bring it right over. He was amazed at what great condition it's in, though it has a lot of small dings in it he said he thought it hadn't been played much. Before I knew it he started to do a set up on it so I ran out to my car to get a new set of DR's I had and voila, like magic he was done. Thing plays like butter now and don't think he did a bit of fret work. You guys are right, Carl is the man!

I now realize what I had always pretty much known; while I'm a great bicycle mechanic I make a pretty lousy guitar tech! Now if I can just fight off my buyers remorse for a few more weeks I'm home free......

Carl IS the man!!!! he is GREAT!

as for "buyer's remorse".....it is always short lived with Laklands!!! get over it so you can get another!!! (LOL!)

as for #2.....try one yourself before making your decision!!!

i thought the 2nd vid was really cool. i'm a fan of loopers and i felt it was put together pretty well. you can also bet that his sound wasn't just straight across...it was probably going through a few different effects.
 
OK, that IS over 2 years, so it's an average of 14 per year, just like the other guys..... I'm not sick, just adventuresome!!!

yea, ... that's it....

...but these 2 will go out to play this weekend!!!!!!

I think once i get the right rig together...or couple of rigs, i'm going to be looking for more Laklands. and probably other basses, too. :ninja:
 
GREAT song!!!!

hahaha...i'm not even going to bother with it. I know if i had it, it would be one i never sold...if i didn't like the sound, i'd probably put different pup in it.

the bem neck and the perfect amber quilt are what i'd be keeping it for. call me a collector. :ninja:

They must all be great up there to let you use one of their basses to hammer nails in the wall.

I have buyer's remorse all the time, lol...but it's only if something doesn't really stand up to my expectations. So there better not be too many nail marks in the headstock of my DJ5, doug! :mad:

:p
