c) Include an Ampeg with every Lakland and a personal engineer???

I love the sound of a 55-94 through an SVT4pro/810 cab... it sounds like butter. So smooth and fat... it's like an 'eargasm'

Feel free to pass that along to Dan

Ha, to each his own I guess. I sold all my Ampeg stuff after getting my first Lakland (55-94). Had a '91 SVT 3 and newer US 4pro and 4 Ampeg cabs (early 90s 4x10 and 2x12, and 2 410HLFs). I fell in love with a Carvin B1500, and a Berg NV215 and a Dr Bass 2460D. Now, I use two Genz Shuttle 6.0s cause they're lighter and sound 99% as good as the Carvin.

how bout getting him to do black hardware again...doesn't mean he has to do other colors...just black. tell him that's why i got my sterling, instead of a USA Lakland...because ernie ball sent me black hardware.


convince him to do black hardware. don't just mention it for the hell of it...convince. use that dougie charm.

YES!!!! Convince him to do black hardware. Heck, I just called them two weeks ago asking about black hardware. And not just for the U.S. models (like Sadowsky). Let the -02 models have it too, and maybe a special skyline JO or DJ. That would be nice.

What pedals are you running through?

I don't know what it is... just something about Ampeg. There haven't been many rigs I can dial right in for what I play.

i only patch in a pedal in if i need it--i ended up splitting the signal thru the radial switchbone and going straight in (two separate lines). the pedals are: EH knockout, EH big muff, EBS octave, EH black finger, and a Sadowsky pre. I use the EH blackfinger the most

Ya'll know how I feel about Black Hardware--- bring it on!!!!

Ya know, I tried the SVT4Pro, and I never wanted to put my bass down so much in my life. Absolutely was not right for me. I'm throwing up in my mouth a little right now just THINKING about it.

 

[GregC]

Black hardware doesn't do much for me, really. I thought it looked killer on that trans-white/maple 4-94. Otherwise, meh.

LOL. Yeah, in the hybrid-amp department, as well as modern cabs, I'll take Mesa and Aggie over Ampeg all day.

Vintage Ampeg tube heads are a very different ballgame, though. I'm really loving my V-4B so far!

When I was opening the thread, the survey was showing 966 posts. When I opened, it was 967. I think we're finishing #18 in a few seconds
Remember, someone promised Doug we weren't starting #19 until he's back, so the next one should be #18 pt. 2

He's back, so it's OK I think the thread will really die down a bit this weekend, though, with the GTG going on, so all you guys need to stay strong and push #19 along

not bad!!! how big? like a Camry?

Thanks, it is not bad indeed! Just got myself outside after a 400+ miles ride - drove my family to fly off to Austria. I'm not getting the Nord Schleife of the Nuernburgring this time
Avensis is half a step below Camry in measurements and positioning. Like, the same engines available except for the top-est one and so on

 

[denchiq]

I was "wondering out loud" about a fralin P-5.....I KNOW they make sweet J-5s....

when is youor JO5 getting there? how did I miss that you ordered one?

you didn't. I'm in the stage of "having made my mind" *

Lakland is located in a very industrial area....here is a link to a map:

and a bird's eye view:

It may look like you are in the "wrong place" but you are not...

the factory is located on the second floor of Dan's father's tire recycling business.

it may sound like you're excusing but you're not. You shouldn't be!

 

[denchiq]

Darn it!!! sorry guys....the links worked when I first tried them, but yahoo was also open at the time....

anyways - look it up before you go as it is not easy to get to...

the 2 worked the same way for me, the crosshair aiming at a Smith County. I wonder what state that would be




EDIT: You said a "d-word"?!! 100 melodic minor scales for you! And don't forget to wash your hands!

 

[denchiq]

ahhhh! forgot to make an important notice:

the multiquote button doesn't work for me, neither with Mozilla nor with Opera. As you might have noticed, I also haven't been able to attach tagged pics and direct links since the day I joined the TB.
So, I'm sorry but I can't cut my... whatever... to a lesser number of quotes and posts.
Please believe me, I ain't trying to set a world record in posting... well... as far as the LOG monthly giveaway is not concerned

A 5 string P or PJ is definitely keeping me from moving on any other basses right now....

cool weaponry you've got!

Speaking of Les Pauls, I've been laughing my head off for a few days over this one:

Les Paul, at the age of 93: "Boy, do I know you?"
Zakk Wylde: "Yeah, I have a Signature Zakk Wylde Les Paul. You know, the one with a bull's eye"
Les Paul: "That's funny... I have a signature Les Paul too."

 

[denchiq]

if you use google maps to look it up you can use their street view to see the lakin and sons building.

which map do I use to see Dan and sons in person?
