Official Landing Bass Club

Thanks ::::BASSIST::::

Hey vrock38 mine's just like that but with a "crocodial" pick guard....actually there is a photo of it on Jimmy's website....the first one Jimmy built me was too heavy so it was sold to a Doctor who has quite a few Landing basses already, so he built another...so I can't say mine is the first one with that unusual pickguard on it but....

 

Very nice! Is it a 30 or a 32?

 

Yeah, 30" LDS2 Arctic white with "crocodial" pickguard

 

I'll take #6 with ol' sparklehead here:


Love this bass. Haven't lusted over another since.

 

Hey ::::Bassist:::: have you got your Landing yet ?

Was just on the Landing site, check out this bass:

Landing

 

I've been looking for a good quality light weight shortscale bass. Obviously these are good quality. Are they light weight? Does anyone know how much their Landing bass weighs?

 

That is one gorgeous bass man!
I'm seriously considering trying a proper shortscale soon, and Jim's prices ain't too shabby!
Really like the new 4 in line headstock too.

How does the bass sound? I bet it's enormous!

Very nice dude.
Well congrats, it's a gorgeous bass
I'll hang around here for some more info once you've actually got it.

Cheers,]Eude

 

Hey ::::BASSIST::::,

Did you get your Landing yet ? Can't wait to hear about it and to see some pick of your bass. Jimmy sometimes sends me pics of his latest builds but have not seen yours yet.

Here's my L30P that's he building for me:
fretless with ebony fingerboard
trans red burst edge finish
black hardware
Neck with custom marker lines plus dots on the side
red tortoise guard
EMG P with a BTC control unit

Unfinished:



trans red

 

Great ! Glad you are liking your bass. Jimmy sent me an email with your email to him and the pic's you posted. Looks great. Is it lighter in person ? Looks very dark in the pics.

 

OK guys what color hardware should I use black or gold ? Jimmy is putting a black burst around the edges of the bass. It's also going to have a dark ebony fretless board. I'm leaning towards black but I do like gold too.

 

Yeah, you finally got her......can't wait to see it one of these days......7.3lbs is pretty good

I'll try and post more pics and definately give a report when it arrives. Just finished up gigs for the year, taking a short break, but back at it Jan 8th, so gig report then. Please give me a number. Thanks.

 

Landing has arrived and is all I hoped it would be. Looks great, plays great, sounds great. Will post some pics. Jimmy did a fantastic job ambering the neck, really looks good and smooth as a you know what. Hopefully this tread is not dead as I would like to hear about other Landings and give Jimmy some props. Will BASSIST be back?
