The LAKLAND Porn Thread

[Sibob]

I just wanted to encourage those who had posted in this thread before the forum software change to repost your Laklands!!
We're obviously missing a bunch of lovely photos from before the software change happened, so would be great to get the visuals happening again in this thread

Whilst mine survive above, here they are again 😍:
Custom US 44-94 (passive P/J) & Skyline 55-01 (upgraded US Bart dual coils & NTMB pre).

How's the custom 44-94 treating you so far?

Yeah very well! Had it strung with flats for a bit, recorded well (on the new JoCee EP), but wasn’t quite right, so put some La Bella rounds back on and it’s awesome!

Very happy

Realised that when I had my 55-94 refinished by Jaydee that I haven't posted a photo yet. So here it is now.

Beautiful - what did it look like before?

I like that Pickguard Shaping. Is it custom made, or where can you buy these Kind of Pickguards?

I got it from ebay. US seller well known for their pickguards. Jeannies. Not sure if  they are still in business today as last time I heard the chap who is running it have passed away.

Roger passed away a couple of years ago, but the business is still trading under the same name on eBay, fxguitarman1. They made a very nice custom see-thru plate for my 55-94 a year or so back.

NOT a Lakland..... 

 

But I think the 55 model was it's inspiration.

Short scale Hollowbody Skyline, on left of picture. Modified by previous owner with pan pot. Best short scale I've owned - indeed, quite possible the best bass of any scale length I've had.

I'm jealous, would love a Hollowbody30, or a Decade shortscale (US built only unfortunately).

I had one of these! Mine had a big chip in the bottom. Loved that bass.

[Graham]

I had one of those too!

I ended up not loving the neck, but tonally it was superb

I sold mine to an idiot in Scotland for £400. I regret that

I sold mine to someone in Scotland too @krispn - have you still got it?

[lou24d53]

I'm in Scotland and I bought one a while back on here, but have since sold it.

I paid more than £400 for it, so whilst I'm maybe not the 'idiot' quoted I'm still one for not knowing I could have got one for considerably cheaper than I recall paying...! 🙄🤪
