    Our first gig of the new year. We played with a dep drummer on New Year's Eve, as our own drummer had a long standing arrangement for a family party in Wales. We were a bit loose in the first half. I turned up a bit frazzled after having forgotten a couple of things and having to go back home for them. We had people shutting the rear door of the venue as we were loading in which didn't help and a couple of the staff were getting in our way. The second half was a lot better.

    The headstocks look like they've taken "inspiration" from Alpher, no? At least that's my first impression

    Says he bought it 14 years ago. For the OP. If you’re thinking about selling put it in the classifieds for the price you expect.

    lovely! I've a 5 94 that is amazing ... but I always forget how amazing till I play it! 1998 model I think- the original Bart pickups and a John East UniPre
  8. Mrbigstuff
    Genuine and common sense tip. You want something that can be easily found on a dark stage floor/ back room. For something so expensive, they’re easily lost.

    Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.

    I absolutely love playing it - something closer to the “Bowie at the Beeb” version. Epic tune

    I auditioned one in the Gallery. They play, feel and sound amazing but they are quite hefty even when siting down.

    Yes. Custom order for my birthday.

    Now that's the best news I've heard since I got the fretted semi-hollow bass. I am a very happy man!

    I've never had a Lakland, but that is a lovely piece of Lakland/Dan Lakin history. How long have you had it?

    selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

    So I have a 2014 Warwick Corvette WPS 6 string bass. It has an Ash Body, Ovangkol neck, wenge fretboard. I've put a new JAN III on and refinished the body with nitro black and clear coat. Replaced the pickup screws and sorted the missing grub screws in the bridge. Bass is now in great condition, zero fret wear. I think 2014 was the end of the WPS series, Pro series went back to Germany. I've had a few Warwick's over the years so can compare build. I think this is a great build. Setup is sweet. Bass comes with a gear4music foam case. Any question, please ask.

    Is that an ultralight Lionel? Ive had 4 Lionels, alder bodied and they’ve been remarkably consistent at 3.3-3.4Kg.

    Moonage Daydream would be a great song to play. Dave
  24. ezbass
    Plus the weight of the rope to stop them floating away . Those really are light and I thought my other basses were light at 3.2kg or thereabouts.

    And that's the reason i always post or print off the set list for our gigs when we make any changes depending on venue or add any new songs. We've had occasion where we started off in different songs only to find someone was using an older set list. Doesn't happen now tho. I do like your sense of humour with your band but i'm not sure our guys would appreciate that kind of joke. Think i would be looking for a new job. 😂 Dave

    Just wanted to introduce my bass in case there’s any interest! I bought it 14 years ago after searching for a USA made Lakland in the UK - unsuccessfully! I was on the verge of importing a new 4 94 from the USA when this popped up on eBay from a collector in Chicago. It’s a one off 4 94 made by Ed Reynolds from parts supplied by Dan Lakin. Ed was luthier consultant to the fledgling Lakland operation. It has a chambered body, pre-CBS Jazz pickup in neck position, Seymour Duncan MM in bridge position, nitro paint finish (lots of dings!) and fabulous neck. It’s been my go-to bass since I bought it and I love it, though very few bass players I meet in the UK seem to know much about USA Laklands, let alone a one-off like this!

    Its live music, sometimes things go wrong. Think we've all experienced this at some stage. Was it Hotel Caledonia that was on. I know the bass player thru FB. Dave

    ah. my TT4 is about 2.8 kg and my Lionel is 2.58. Looks that idea is out the window then.

    Indeed, I did make that Telebass a while back!! Thanks all for the kind words about the basses I’ve built. I’ve not built anything for a while but am starting to finish off projects, including the fretted twin to Franks semi hollow bass. Pictures will be posted in the build diaries. Cheers all!
