It's actually completely hollow, which makes it a bit different to most basses that are described as 'semi'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is the Lakland HB a lined fretless or are thos just very skinny frets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 The Eclipse looks superb. What clean lines. I want it. Tell you what, how about I accept it as a donation?! I think I remember reading the Lakland was a lined f/less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Ta. I'm sort of GASing for a semi with a vintage vibe and that Lakland pretty much hits all the right points for me. Up to now all the semi Laklands I'd seen had been fretted so it's good to see that there are some out there. Where did you get it from? Of course I also like the look of the DeArmond Starfire too - is that an original or one of the re-issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeatNut Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 I bought the Lakland HB here ... well, on bassworld actually. I don't think there are that many fretless ones in the country. (Based on what I've seen on forums and on ebay). The DA Starfire is one of those made in late 90's/early 00's. Not sure if they made DA SF's in the 60's/70's so it's debatable if it's a 'reissue' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Cool thanks for the info - I'll have to do a look around and see if there any other fretless semi Laklands about. As for the DeArmond - I was getting that mixed up with the Guild Starfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Nice collection, particularly the lakland and Starfire, if the Starfire is ever totally neglected and needs a new home drop me a line, this will be followed very quickly by a call to Fred for a set of Darkstars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
