    Hi all I need to fund a further bout of GAS, so up for sale is my tasty Lakland 44-02 in Cherryburst. It's an '06 model with the Bartolini pickups and some minor player wear (on the pickups and some scuffs on the top edge of the headstock), but sounds flexible and tasty. It's pretty squarely in the Fender/Musicman camp, and I have had excellent J/P/MM sounds out of it, much as you would expect. Specs are at [url="http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm[/url]. I had to import it from the USA, as there don't seem to be many available in the UK. I went for the nicely grained ash top, wasn't too keen on the quilt on most of the deluxe models. It'll ship in a tidy hard case, which can also been seen in the pics. I've also recently restrung with DR 40-100 Black Beauties, a special order gauge for that string (£30!). Reduced to [b]£750[/b] + shipping. Less than what I paid to import it, anyway...If you're interested, get in contact! Enjoy the pics!

    [quote name='richardd' post='593212' date='Sep 8 2009, 07:44 PM'] Hi Pete .As far as I am aware between 1995 and 99 Fender fitted single pole pickups by John Suhr, of Pensa Suhr, as for the neck profile I think it is according to Fender 9-1/2 radius .Hope this helps Rich[/quote] Thanks Rich, that helps. Although I presume you mean single coil pickups, as opposed to single pole (although I can see they are single pole in construction from the photos).... Pete

    What's the neck radius? And are the pickups single coils or humbuckers? Thanks Pete
  9. funkle
    What's the radius?

    Hi all, This is back on the market. Apparently, bassatnight has just been made redundant, and cannot afford to go ahead with the purchase. I wish him the best of luck, but in the meantime, it's back up for sale! Pete

    Sold pending payment to bassatnight. Thanks everybody! Pete

    Good morning bump! I meant to say - might be interested in an EA iAmp of some description + cash. Let me know what you have!

    Thank you gentlemen. As an aside, just back from the G.I. Joe movie. Probably not worth the bother - I like mindless action flicks, but even still, the plot is just too thin. ....back on topic... I'd ideally like a darker colour blue myself, but if LPB is what they've got, then that's what I get. And what someone else will get, I guess... Pete

    Hi all, I've recently bought a Lakland 44-02, and am in discussions with Lakland about a custom bass. Might still go with Shuker though in the longer term, so have to wait and see. However, I need to free up some funds for one of the above custom projects, so I'm putting my Lakland DJ4 up for sale. I'm sure you're all familiar with the specs, which at at any rate are available at [url="http://www.lakland.com/jones.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/jones.htm[/url]. It's been my main gigging bass for a couple of years, and has a single small chip at the headstock (see pics). The neck is super smooth at the back from all the hours I've put onto it last couple of years. It is in excellent condition, and is an excellent jazz all round. Great review in Bass Player at [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/passive-bolt-on/Jan-04/574"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/passive-bolt-on/Jan-04/574[/url] as well as this thread at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1643&hl=lakland+darryl+jones"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...nd+darryl+jones[/url]. It has the Aero pickups, and weighs 9.5 lbs. It will ship with the Lakland Levy's gig bag. As to price - [color="#0000FF"]now on eBay.[/color] Any questions, just drop me a line! Pete [attachment=30413:IMG_9146.JPG] [attachment=30414:IMG_9147.JPG] [attachment=30417:IMG_9154.JPG][attachment=30418:IMG_9156.JPG] [attachment=30423:IMG_9163.JPG] [attachment=30422:IMG_9162.JPG] [attachment=30424:IMG_9164.JPG] [attachment=30419:IMG_9158.JPG] [attachment=30415:IMG_9152.JPG][attachment=30416:IMG_9153.JPG] [attachment=30421:IMG_9161.JPG] [attachment=30420:IMG_9160.JPG]

    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='562834' date='Aug 7 2009, 03:21 PM']But, as I said, there is no substitute for the grind.[/quote] Amen to that. I'm working through Chord Studies for Electric Bass, by Rich Appleman and Joseph Viola. (http://www.berkleepress.com/catalog/product?product_id=11172). It's what Jeff Berlin was having me start when I was at his school. Every single exercise to be done in all 12 keys. I'm only just today moved to Bb (having done C, F, and D). I am improving, as well as speeding up, and certainly my fretboard knowledge is better, but I'm humbled at the thought of how far there is yet to go (11 more keys!). One day, I will look back and be delighted I'm done with it. But each individual exercise, after being done in all 12 keys for a couple of days, is a little mini-victory as it is completed. Also working on heads of tunes, ii-V7-I exercises (all 12 keys), and playing arpeggios of jazz tunes (in all inversions). It's a lot of work. Results come only very slowly. Jeff used to say 'If you're happy taking a baby step every day, then you've already won'. Basically, persistence will eventually see you right. Nice to see others are also grinding away! All the best, Pete

    Free bump for Eude! Just got to play this bass - lovely instrument, 33" scale makes it easy to play. And the ACG preamp is very flexible indeed! More than I can stretch to at the moment - the missus might have something to say if I bought a 4th bass....! Good luck mate, it's a beautiful instrument. Jon Shuker does sterling work! Pete
