Official Lakland Owner's Group #20

[E-Mac]

Hell to the EM DJ YEH!!!!!

PS - can we call it that!??? If we do, will you start making Lakland send you $$$$????

Wonder how that would look with a thumb rest???

Haha. Call it what you will. It would be funny if other people wanted to cop my bass and called asking for an EM-DJ.

To be clear, I meant it as a joke. There is zero chance of an actual "e-mac" model. Though, I do have some nice design ideas.

By thumbrest, did you mean a 5th string??? I was thinking about an actual thumb rest between the pickups earlier today, but I'll wait on that for a while. No use drilling into the bass unless I'm sure.

 

[HaPpYfAcE]

you SERIOUS????? Where did it go?????

Man! you are finicky!!! you had for what - a week?

pfft...i just haven't found something i want to stick with. /shrug ....well...except for a certain bass in my avatar.

whew!!! done for now.....as stated earlier...my head is a spinnin!!!

BTW - who has my DJ5CS now?????

i bet you could figure it out, and it's not really your DJ5CS since it never had chi's while in your ownership.

+1!

I say the trans butterscotch. It's deep enough to cover up some blems, but transparent enough to see the grain. Right on, in my opinion. Though, Doug may kill you.

And my bass is here, strings changed, and loving it:
better pics later

Yep...they are!

If it had a Maple Board I might consider...but you are right the ol 76 has tone for days!

i didn't have it for too long. I was in a very very passive bass mode and just wasn't digging the tone. I look at the two basses with the 94 bodies that i've owned, the 4-76 and that 4-94C, and am dumbfounded on how I could let them go.

I miss that amber. The 4-94C was a looker, but the sound wasn't for me. The amber had looks and tone to kill.

Ferg, I'm guessing you're not interested in a sweet player's us jo?

 

[MarkusBass]

Sweet Evan!

If I have to go without a pickguard, I can live. I'll get some clips of the fretless DJ this weekend or next week. I just need to get a better webcam. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I don't know if everyone will dig the tone on the fretless, but I really really do. I like the flats with the chi-sonics. I can get a deep roll on the neck and some bite from the bridge with quite a bit in between. Markus wasn't lying about these pickups.

 

[MarkusBass]

Thanks Doug! Should be any day!

Markus....that is going to be SOOOOO HAWT!!!! When do you get it?????

Schwing big time baby!!!!

 

[MarkusBass]

Maybe we can talk Dan into making it a US color....(or maybe a Skyline color (the new ))
