In Lakland Tetsuya Atelier Z m265 plus custom Out None I learned that I don't need 4 strings much. Will sell them next year.

[quote name='MarkW' timestamp='1417970052' post='2625583'] Interesting thread. I play in a pubs & clubs covers band, and there's only me and the drummer who play from memory: guitar, keyboards and vocals all have stands. I think it looks bad, especially as I'm a crap bass player who only picked the instrument up a couple of years ago after a lay-off of 20 years, and if I can manage to remember the songs then anyone can. [/quote] Same situation.. sort of. They have the chord sheet on the floor and they look down on it most of the time. And you who's done your part, learned the songs by heart would be thinking what's the point of doing all the rehearsals. All I have is the set list on top of my amp and that's as far as I will go with having these things. [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1417988436' post='2625836'] It's totally different for different types of band. A function band with a repertoire of hundreds of songs doing requests or playing stuff at the call of an md are totally ok to have music stands. That band works by being polished and flexible so that's a valid reason. A pub rock band knocking out time old classics with a set of 30 songs and maybe a dozen spares just look terrible imo with stands as the whole point is to be engaging and rock n roll and a bit rough and reasy. Using a stand in a pub tells me they either don't know their stuff or they're taking themselves way too seriously. I'd never play a pub with a regular singer / guitarist if he /she needed a stand.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1417604628' post='2622095'] I've only found the ebmm forum members to be overly touchy really and I suspect that goes for any forum for a specific brand of anything? I must admit ive never seen a weak G on one which woukd be odd if its anything other than some form of eq thing, not necessarily the users fault as it could just be a compatability issue or something, I'm still struggling to get what I want from my Jazz but I know its not a faulty bass. [/quote] You could pass your jazz to me. I'm not picky with brands, as long as it plays good!

Good review. Another Lakland fan here. I think the only bass I can compare it with in terms of feel is the Yamaha TRB 1005. But tone wise it's just more versatile.

Here's mine. Ray is gone. Traded for the Wick. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7ijSnss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TSC2E4F.jpg[/IMG]

Ordered a Mono Strap Short from them last weekend. Received a long version Monday. As their customer support was already closed, I dropped them an email. They said they're going to send me the right one and a jiffy bag self addressed for the wrong strap to be sent back to them which is fair enough. Today I received the right one but no sign of the jiffy bag but instead a small note.

Ziricote for me too. I like it.

Considered Lakland 55-02 or even 94?

You need to see your GP to make sure you're okay.

Got the vertigo. Good bags. Would not buy any other gig bags aside from mono from now on.

Would love that white on a 55-02!

I can see rays around £600 in the classified. So naturally with that price, I would say yes. But buying a brandnew ray... I would think twice.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1416065918' post='2606551'] Hey I really like that! Aesthetically it really works. It shouldn't really but it does! Cool the MM pup is a little further north than on a Stingray. Would love to hear all the different tones available (hint hint ) [/quote] Not mine but... http://youtu.be/_htiVs372RM

Been listening to them for a while too. Your second video is my fave from them. Really like his tone specially on the song called Pride.

[quote name='Groove Harder' timestamp='1415958079' post='2605503'] That looks like a crazy low action on the Atelier, you must have a light touch! [/quote] Very! They look lower than usual but it isn't actually THAT low.

Looks all too complicated for me!
