congrats on selling ole blue!!! getting into US territory huh??? LOOK out 'yall!!!! Terry be movin on up!!!

10-11 year old ones are very sweet...not sure why, but they just seem "nicer" (not that new ones aren't nice).....maybe the worn in feel is what gets me......I seem to like the older Barts MUCH better than the newer Barts....like the LH3 better though...Ok - I will stop rambling now...ramble brought to you by dayquill!

how do you feel older barts against the newer ones? Interested because mine were the older ones that I changed for the LH-3

 

[denchiq]

+1 on that. I'm thinking of finding a JO5 and getting a P put in it.

there's one sky in natural in the Classifieds

I picked up my fretless at Dan's shop in 2000 and had it for a bit before I realized that the serial number hadn't been stamped in the headstock. I brought it, and my fretted 55-94 in for its annual tuneup, so Carl could stamp the serial number in the fretless. Here he is with my fretted Lakland after putting her back in top playing form.

hmmm... I think I would prefer mine unstamped in that case

 

[denchiq]

yup!!! got it right next to the computer!!!

don't work

 

[denchiq]

Greg - hope the Cubbies were fun! sorry I was not feeling better!

Greg got some tickets to the Cubs v. Padres tonight and I could not go due to still not feeling "up to par"....and I am teaching a class this week TH-Sun so I have to be "chipper and as good as I can be".....which ALSO means there will be 2-3 days without me posting...will have to see what the rest of you are made of!!!!

Just don't go to #19 without me!!!

Sure thing! we'll make a "18 pt. 2"

Just thought I'd post it since it is related to Lakland in a way.

Just finished designing the site for Hanson Guitars! These are the guys that build the electronics for the basses we love! Laklands very own John Pirruccello (and brother Bo)!

More stuff to come on the site, like sound clips, etc.!

Very GAS worthy guitars!

THAT* is the mysterious design that Lakland-related guitars that the team came up with? I'm broken. Sorry guys.

*does not refer to the site design. But, Markus, if I find out you had to do with those shapes, we'll be having a serious talk.

 

[denchiq]

I do too......I have 2 Js, will have 3 55-series and only 1 P? what is up with that??? I need to bring the ratios into better balance....besides, the P shape feels good.....

as for a Fralin 5 not sure.....I LOVES me my Fralin in my P/J! (even more than some of the Lakland Ps I have tried....)

gonna have Fralins in my coming JO5 too. Cover me!

Dennis, has anyone ever said you're a little picky?

 

[denchiq]

depends on what picky is. But I can justify each of the above.
the second one is the most innocent of all anyway - it is just that I would prefer any unique bass (unique in a good way) retain all of its uniqueness

 

[denchiq]

I checked in the dictionary what picky is. I'd say yes, I know what I like or would better let pass



However, is it just my poor English or that was a nice way to say "sickener"? ;-)

 

[denchiq]

I didn't, but I dig 'em!

off bassgear.com:


Lakland USA "Special"- this is a very special bass: Joe Osborn 4 string jazz in Olympic white w/ a tortoise pg. The neck is what sets it apart the most- rosewood board w/ blocks and binding!! This is a great player all around- sweet neck, light weight, excellent tone from the Fralins. Just like a late 60s Fender only better in every regard and less $$$$$. Comes w/ a black Lakland case. $2200 shipped to your door. This is a FINE bass!! Paypal ok if you pay fees. I have references!!

Nothing wrong with picky!

 

[Jason!]

Yup, saw the JO5 in the classifieds. Natural/Maple, just what I'm looking for too but I have to buy a car this week so I'll see what I have left over. So I may be going down to Chicago to pick up a TT.

Nice! I had a friend that had one and it was pretty kick@$$ (and you could almost fit a Lakland in it- just to keep it a little on topic, lol)

You should go down to Chicago to pick up a Lakland & with what's left over buy yourself a cheap Honda that'll run for ever...

Ha! Exactly.

What's a "TT"? I must have missed something.

I'm giving you a bit of a hard time, Dennis, sorry. Personally, I would be a little nervous owning a really nice bass without a serial number (in case of theft).

Your English isn't poor, it's very good! Although I'm not sure what "sickener" is, so we misunderstood each other there.
