I do agree i love tht Stingray tone on the first rage album, and it makes me GAS 4 a 'Ray (i play a jazz)

i think it sounds awesome, but it doesn't punch through like on the other albums! i kinda just blends wiv the guitar, so he cant be heard that well,
on evil empire, u could hear him soooooo well, and still hear the guitar loads

but still love stingray tone

haha most of their songs feature F# loads. I love Rage but they only have 2 songs : F# and D!

One of my favorite Tom Morello quotes:

"If you want to learn how to rock, learn F#".

Gotta love Timmy C. though, my favorite bassist. Has anyone who's seen Rage live recently seen him play any of his Jazz basses along with the Lakland, or does he only use it on a couple songs? Hopefully I'll be seeing them live at Lollapalooza, so I'll have to keep my eye out.

Obviously, that statement is a matter of personal opinion- and one that I dont agree w/ at all...

You show me one Music Man or Lakland bass that can touch a Geddy Lee Fender Jazz bass for the money... I doubt you can. Ive played all mentioned, and there isnt one of the aforementioned basses that swayed me away from the GLJB.

Fender is still making quality stuff, and they are definatey more affordable in many cases than the others- considering Squier and low end Fender models. But, you take high end custom shop and artist models- they are fine basses that I would take over Lakland's best any day, thanks.

As far as Tim goes, he plays w/ his tone so much, he will probably be playing Sadowsky a year from now anyhow :D

Just a side note:
I actually remeber seeing a Sadowsky bass for sale that was black/rosewood that Timmy used to record the 1st AUDIOSLAVE album. I know he uses the sadowsky preamp pedal too!

Gladly, The Lakland 44-01. ;)

Pros compared to the Geddy,

- More options; rosewood, or maple fretboard, Fretless, Fretted. More finish options.
- Active, or passive.
- Better access to the higher frets.
- Silky satin finished neck, as opposed to the Geddys sticky gloss finish. (Might not be a pro for everyone.)
- Costs less.
- Not a Jazz Bass.
- Has 5 string counterpart, 55-01. Also reasonably priced.

Cons compared to the Geddy,

- No tone control in passive.
- Not a Jazz Bass.
- No case or bag included.

Though with the money you save buying the 44-01 you can buy a case.

Ive played my friends Geddy alot, and for the money Id much rather have the 44-01.

Go Tim w/Lakland! :bassist:

Awsome to see one of my biggest influences using my favorite basses.:D
