Graham Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just saw this on the Lakland Facebook page, the bassist for Jason Aldean the country act who was shot at in Vegas last year got their kit back from the police and found a bullet lodged in his 55-94 😮 It must just bring it all back, how close the band were to being murdered along with so many others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) That was extremely lucky but I'd imagine it was possibly a deflection? There's no way a wooden guitar a couple of inches thick would stop an automatic assault rifle round Edited January 30, 2018 by skidder652003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I didn't know TK played a Lakland bass. He's renown for only playing Sadowsky basses. Stray or deflection, he's a lucky chap to be playing this one that night. As JA says, solid body with no chambering as the NYC Sadowskys are.

On the post Lakland said they'd only just sent the bass to him before the gig, so was probably one of the first few times he'd used it.

Vinny Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well, that puts a new spin on these ridiculous 'relic' jobs, they'll all be offering this as an 'authentic road damage' option, now. Is this why those jazzy-types tend to play with the bass up in their armpits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not really - I did think when reading the transcript and the singer was saying how heavy and thick the bass was, if you want a light bass, don't buy a US Lakland 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 JA's comments were in relation to the largely chambered, ie hollow, body of the Sadowsky. US Lakland's are not heavy basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way a wooden guitar a couple of inches thick would stop an automatic assault rifle round I think this should be added to all guitar specs - bullet survivability. And truss rod conversions to rifle barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
