cocco Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 So this is my Lakland Bob Glaub. I love it to death, just never quite been sold on the mint/parchment scratch plate.

Either way I'm gonna hit up The Bass Doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Gold is the only thing that make sunburst even remotely acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Tort! Its a classic combo for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd go with black... or better, 3-ply b/w/b. 3TS + Tort looks horrid in my book. Black/white/black pickguard looks cool on 3TS, both my 3TS basses are fitted with b/w/b pickguards and never will this change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sensible answer - tort. I don't really like black on sunburst - well, not on a P anyway. Gold would look great too, like the ones they put on the 50s reissues - Then add the ashtrays and you will look as cool as Duck Dunn.

Dingus Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Tort. Black on sunburst looks wrong in so much as it refers back tho post -1974 Fenders , a great many of which were , well, crap, for want of a better term , or at least not as good as the ones from the era that had preceded them . The Bass Doc does a fantastic tort plate that is practically identical in hue to that which was very carefully chosen by Lakland to be vintage- correct to go on their U.S.A - made basses . How can anyone knock sunburst/rosewood /tort? It's like knocking bacon , eggs and baked beans or my current Strictly Come Dancing - based fantasy involving Susanna Reid , Rachael Riley and Vanessa Feltz . Some things are just right , and sunburst /rosewood /tort is very much one of them . Edited October 31, 2013 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
