[MarkusBass]

Yes...please don't!

 

[MarkusBass]

crappy vid of my fretless... lay off of me, it's been a long day and I'm not on my game today. It's better than nothing:

Some Muse! NICE! Sounds great man! Looks like a perfect bass for you!

 

[MarkusBass]

How are the Lakland flats compared to the Chromes?

Chromes are quite a bit brighter, but still hold the bottom. Laklands are more of that old school tone.

 

[blondmix3]

I think the black with the two big Chis look cool!

AGREED!!!

 

[grayta]

Yeah...Chromes with give you some top back for sure.

+1 for Chromes!

NO! Go retro & lipstick that scheff!

 

[basspraiser]

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.

Evan - common....you know me....YES - I meant a 5th string!

NO MORE HOLES!!!

PS - I LIKE the idea of an e-mac model....

 

[basspraiser]

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

Picky picky picky.....

I am GLAD Gus has it.....finally - someone who will appreciate it!!!

BTW - he mentioned some dings on the back.....when did those happen???? my neck was smooth when I sent it to you...

 

[basspraiser]

HOLY SWEET JESUS

THERE you go Panda....you can buy the second E-Mac edition bass......

JUST DO IT!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

yeah idk why I was thinkin it was you. it was mr. matt that was bouncing off the walls for it.

OK - glad to have that cleared up......Mr. Matt - MAJOR congrats on one SWEET BASS!!! I cannot believe the deal price either!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

Actually, it was aimed squarely at those internet hipsters that use that and terms like pwned....

what about teh ones who use PUPS????





















PS - I TRIED to type "teh" 3 X and it always came out "the"....when I want to type it wrong I cannot, but when I try to type it "right" I get it wrong....argh!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

New to me, but an early Lakland. Unfortunately I'll probably need to sell this to pay for the DJ though.

We'll see when it gets back from the tune up at Lakland.

Sorry man!!! if there is ANY way to keep it...keep it!!!!!

What would you sell it for???? (the new )

 

[basspraiser]

Another mockup

One thing's for sure: I will be missing the kempt, almost retro look of the stock bass...
Still, the huge Chi's are starting to grow on me, if even a little bit. First thing that pops into my mind is "Robocop."

EDIT:
updated mockup group pic

On LPB - go either BOTH single coil CHIs or the single with the double at the bridge (looks best IMHO!)


BUT - the black looks so sinister and ubber cool with the doubel doubles!!! not sure why....it just looks better on black.....

you agree????

Makes me want......

 

[Mr Matt]

OK - glad to have that cleared up......Mr. Matt - MAJOR congrats on one SWEET BASS!!! I cannot believe the deal price either!!!!

Thanks, how could I pass that one up? We all know how I feel about DJ's & a US model at that!
