leroybasslines Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Well, it was a bit of a tussle with DHL - I hate having to get musical instruments shipped - but my new Lakland 55-60 is here. A quick tweak of the truss rod - the neck was a little squiffy after being manhandled by a multitude of courier monkeys - and I was playing it. A great bass...you know when you pick up an instrument and it instantly seems to 'work' for you. I've played very expensive and beautiful basses that just didn't quite do it for me, but I think I have an instant rapport with this one! Here are some picks for those of you that like to ogle other people's basses! Full frontal: [attachment=71004:photo1.JPG] I am a sucker for a really good sunburst! When I was a kid, it was the way ALL guitars should look. [attachment=71005:photo2.JPG] Mmmm...block inlays. Love em. [attachment=71006:photo3.JPG] Lakland and Stevie...Old Skool... [attachment=71003:Hipsta_Lakland.jpg] Going to put my J Retro in it, but it seems impolite to do it straight away! I feel like I need to play it for a while with the original electronics, to get to know the bass and it's characteristics before I start supercharging and messing about with it.
