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...

nice pair!

So Fenders "stay put" but the Lakies are a revolving door.....hmmmmmm......what does that say????

 

[basspraiser]

Now just what do I mean by that?

Doug:

you are catching on nicely!!!!

as for giving up an addiction....that is between you and your bank account!!!!

As God is my witness, I'll never be numberless again!

Hey Johnny - nice to meet ya neighbor!

So I left Indy about 9 AM (after doing a little work) and started on my way - after a frustrating 30+ minutes looking for a Starbucks (darn GPS led me astray 2-3 times!!) I headed for Chicago.

Arrived at Lakland about noon and treated Dan, Leo and Carl to some Pottbelly's and spent about 2 hours there....

good news and bad news....

Bad news: Dan cannot do the limited run we have for the LOG basses (we suggested 20 but he still needs 25+) so this will have to be tabled until the economy gets better. Sorry!!!! we tried - however, i would like to thank you all for your support - we WILL do this!!!

Good News:

1) played Carl's 4-76 - wowsa! (see previous post)

2) saw Pino's bass - ubber cool!

3) Evans neck - hawt hawt hawt

4) Carl was working on the prortotype 19 fret short scale....it is supposed to fit ANY US BASS!!!! production date not set...however, if you want one....let Dan or Leo know so they know if there is interest (Evan???? - maybe not too late to change your fretted DJ???)

5) Leo has some GREAT stuff for sale (see LOG site)

6) I am working on something with Leo to ease my 5 banger fretless GAS....hopefully more later....

7) saw a few 6 stringed items that looked suspiciously like guitars....hmmm??????

8) They are all pumped for the 23rd!!!

that's alright...i don't really have a use for them, so if they are shipped out with the bass, then that's ok with me.

PM "nubs" for a number and check out: Link Removed

your son sure is learning on the best!!! how old is he? my 6 year old wants to play - even bought her a VERY short scale Samick but she loses attention after 5 minutes....gets frustrated that she cannot "play like Daddy"....I keep telling her it took me 20 years to get as bad as I am!!!

 

[basspraiser]

Is this going to go down without a bid AGAIN????

to bad....nice bass...I sent the seller an offer last week (since I was in Cali) but they did not respond....too bad:scowl: - so sad!!!

not a bad price...

 

[basspraiser]

Hey - anyone know where that HB (with the Lipstick pickup) went from E-bay?

One of the guys at Lakland was asking about it when I was talking to Carl today...I THOUGHT it was still on e-bay but it seems to be gone....

 

[rmars]

Hey guys I figured I would let you know if you were interested but buyers remorse finally won over and I returned the Joe Osborn to the Guitar Center in Davenport, IA today. It was sad to do because tone wise that bass is almost perfect but the E string and I couldn't get along, just a lot more fret buzz than I'm used to. Carl thought I plucked a bit hard so I tried to change my right hand technique but after 18 years it's hard to teach this old dog new tricks. A very sad day......

 

[basspraiser]

I know they made some guitars awhile ago for fun. It's on their site.

I saw those a LONG time ago...these were "newer".....

 

[MarkusBass]

I am just reading between the lines....

Very funny...I am more that happy with my manhood, Doug. Nice try......






....and quit dreaming...it's not going to happen

 

[MarkusBass]

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

Too cheap?! You know me better than that!

[Bassmanjay]

[MarkusBass]
