    Unexpected (a cheap, pre-ACG, impulse buy) NBD pending, let the guessing commence haha

    Had a dream that I bought an SGC Nanyo Bass Collection strung with Labella Gold White strings for £250 from The Gallery.......it COULD happen!

      Yeah right!  I have a dream where Labella do flats in sets of five.  It COULD happen.

      They do 5 string sets of their flats & tapes!! Just not the low tension ones.

      Yes.  I think I said that.

    Been playing my Lakland 55-01 almost exclusively over the last couple of weeks (through necessity for an upcoming gig), and it's just brilliant. These hit so far above their weight for the money!!

      The US models have a much more vast selection of woods available to choose from, quarter-sawn necks (more stable) etc etc. But they can cater for a lot more than I think people realise, so for example; want your 55-02 but with two humbuckers instead of the J, or a P and a humbucker, or three humbuckers!?! They'll likely be able to hook you up with a custom 55-94. Want a passive 44-94 with a P/J setup, they'll build it.....that's what I got :). They built a very cool short-scale Decade with MM/J pickups for a guy in america, sonic blue colour, no scratch plate, looks like the lovechild of a 44-94 & a Decade, really cool.

      Sure, they have amazing custom options etc, I mean more in terms of pure function. It's hard to beat the 55-02 for what I want in a 5 string, especially with the US pickups & pre-amp, it being pleckd, then getting installed/finished/QC'd in Chicago.

      I am SURE if I had the spare cash I could easily find something truly amazing from Lakland USA! :biggrin:

      Oh absolutely, don't get me wrong, the Skyline stuff, for the most part, is amazing if the spec fits your needs.  I would only 'upgrade' my 55-01 to a custom 55-94 with two humbuckers if I had a fair bit of money to burn.......which is never going to be the case I imagine haha, just because the 55-01 is excellent.

    Learning the tune 'Total Praise' for a gospel'y type gig later this month (new to me, it's like someone who doesn't believe in Spiderman learning the Spiderman theme). 
    Definite 5 string city, needs more chords though*..........

    *it doesn't need more chords

      Very stupid of him, but I wonder if there would be such an uproar if he`d tweeted something from the far-left?

      Yes of course there would.  But it would be from his supporters.  It's probably about the only thing he could do to seriously alienate them.
