Official Lakland Owner's Group (#17)

[denchiq]

So I had to go (drive) to Indianapolis today for a short project and had an interesting Lakland day:

1) Dropped J4's (HaPpYfAcE's) bass of at Lakland...had to be one of my fastest trips there! I was running late due to (TERRIBLE) Chicago Traffic so it was go in, drop it off and leave...no-one from Lakland "office staff" was there anyways (yet)....did not check out the back for fear of being weigh laid and being even more late!!!

2) got confirmation that my fretless has been paid for (yippeeee!) - see earlier post

3) auditioned a nice but mojo'd 55-94 fretless with Barts and flats....nice and light and the neck was uber sweet but something about it just did not make me swoon so...I passed.

on my way home tomorrow I am stopping by Lakland for a more lieserly visit ....want to talk to Leo and Carl about a few things ninja:) now that I have some cash from the sale of 2 basses....and I will try out the -76 to see what I think so I can report on how it compares to Ferg's....

all in all a good day!!!

PS - nice day for a drive (5 hours) as well and my client was prepared for me (a rarity!) so my time on site went very well overall!

great day!
I imagine the Lakie part(s) well complimented to it




...wish I lived in or close to Chicago. Well, to certain part of it.

 

[denchiq]

Was that the 55-94 we chatted about???

you guys stop ninjaing and tell now, what's that thing about the bass

 

[denchiq]

Something you need to tell us?

exactly! that's what I'm talking about

 

[denchiq]

what's it worth to yah?????

I know of an ebony fretless 55-94 with plenty of mojo and an "upright" sound if you are into that sort of thing!!

I know what mojo is!

So, if that one is like this, I gonna have a nice shweet pair!

 

[HaPpYfAcE]

bump calling all Leos that work at Lakland!!

 

[buffordbass]

I think - get rid of the Fender...how long have you had it? if you have had it ANY longer than either of your Lakies....SHAME ON YOU!!!!

BTW - LPB BGs are hawt hawt hawt!!!

Well. Ole' Blue has been around a LONG time, she was the first bass I bought when I started playing after a "very young children" lay-off. I guess I got her in about '97...

BTW, cheap phone/camera, but a little bit better picture of the Step Sisters...

 

[denchiq]

the body of the BG looks narrower in the upper part, or is it optical illusion?

 

[buffordbass]

Must be, they are quite close to the same.....

 

[Walter Ego]

welcome to our addiction Doug!!! yahoo!!!
You will LOVE it!

this was going to be posted later, but my fretless found a new home LATE last night in the land of Lefse and Lutafisk!!!

Just got the Paypal e-check notice today!!! whooot whoot! whoot!

part of a very interesting day (more later!!)

Thanks - can't wait - hey does that mean I have to give up an addiction? crap.​

 

[Walter Ego]

Now Doug, that sounds like multiple personalities... and mind the nick, "walter ego". Sounds like you're inviting your other self into addiction. Well, a great one too
This post is just on par with the Doug/Doug/seeking-for-Doug band post!

Now just what do I mean by that?

 

[E-Mac]

Thanks - can't wait - hey does that mean I have to give up an addiction? crap.​

you can pick up more. become addicted to addictions. It got me whereI am today.

[basspraiser]

Was that the 55-94 we chatted about???

yupper!

More to come...see later post (how's that for a cliff hanger!!!)

 

[basspraiser]

the 1.6 neck is the one thing on the 4-76 that I am struggling width

Speaking of your 4-76...tried out Carl's 4-76 complete with Darkstar - wowsa!!!! Deeper and more bottom end than Fergs...also - different due to the 35" scale and the B-E-A-D set up....GREAT playing bass...

those MOP dots are something to behold.....if you are waiting to buy it....don't!!!!

Also - if you are looking for anything, call Leo....he has some cool stuff (more on the LOG site!!!)

 

[basspraiser]

I'm a guy, but I could go either way.

I am just reading between the lines....

 

[basspraiser]

Thanks man! Your humbucked Chi-J is going to kill!

Evan:

saw your fretless neck today....wow!!!!! is that one (well several) sweet piece(s) of wood!!!!

They are "working" on your basses....

 

[basspraiser]

He he he! If I can make it. I'm sooo busy with work, and I don't see it letting up.

admit it, you are JUST TOO CHEAP to come!!!!

I keep telling you....BUSINESS EXPENSE!!!

 

[basspraiser]

great pic, but the black binding / white letters make me think of a headstone...

I think it looks like one of those "business posters" I see all over the place (i.e "Teamwork"...."Success" etc)

 

[basspraiser]

do active US JO5s also come with stacked pots? I thought they come with 3 or 4 knobs

each pre-amp has a different set up....the stacked knobs are passive....T/Vol T/Vol

 

[basspraiser]

Now Doug, that sounds like multiple personalities... and mind the nick, "walter ego". Sounds like you're inviting your other self into addiction. Well, a great one too
This post is just on par with the Doug/Doug/seeking-for-Doug band post!

The "royal WE" is already addicted.....
