I was just joking around:-) Where was that second photo taken? That bass is a beauty!

That second pic was taken at Arnold Schnitzer's old shop (www.aesbass.com). That bass is mine and it is a beauty. That was before the bass was completed and I got to take it for a test drive. It was a very cool day and I love that bass. It's the one in my avatar, but the lighting in my avatar sucked the big one.

LOGGERS, I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm going to be ordering a p-bass, but I need pics of the skyline dj WHITE PEARL finish. If you can find one that really brings out the color and sparkle, that would be absolute tops.

I'm going for a 4 string p-bass, white pearl metallic finish, b/w/b pickguard, rosewood (or ebony board.. not sure), pearl blocks and binding, Lakland p-pickup, drop tuner. The bass is going to own. I'm on the fence with alder or ash. Alder, in my experience, is very inconsistent. It sometimes is very warm and resonant, and dead at other times.

Thoughts on the consistency of alder? Thoughts on whether fingerboard wood really impacts the tone on a fretted instrument? Thoughts on life itself?
 
That will be a thing of beauty, Evan. You are certainly going to have one of the most unique Lakland stables around....

:smug: yep...still waiting for the total...should hopefully have an update by tomorrow or so. the pups are supposed to be done tomorrow, i think...then the install should only take a few hours from what i've heard.

plus, i have an audere 3 band sitting on my desk, waiting for that chi goodness.
 
hey, Blondie. Nice avatar! Thanks for the white dj pic. KEEP EM COMING! I need a few more to really get a feel for the color. any ourdoor pics anyone?

I think the most unique Lakland stable goes to Markus. That J-sonic, the decade, the 4-07 proto... man, I hate you.
