Not yet, but we were promised the first ones in September. I sent them an Email but had not heard back yet.

It gave me GAS from the beginning. The only new bass I have bought, knowing I will take a beating on it if I decide to flip it.

 :sad: :sad: No congrats for me :sad: :sad: :sad:  I'm closing on my new house in October!!  While I'm excited to have nice new house this means - new fridge ( left the old one at the house we sold was a semi-beater ) new gas dryer as the new house is gas and our 23 year old Whirlpool is electric :sad:  Plus all of the extra stuff that goes with a new house - blinds, furntirue and all of the extras

I'm kinda hoping that one shows up on Ebay in a few months 8) as I have a nice Stingray that I'll sacrifice for it ;D

I'm looking forward to getting one of these eventually. I prefer passive electronics most of the time, so the stock setup will be fine by me. I wanted to get in on the Dudepit III, but now that I know I can get close to the same thing anyway, I don't feel so bad that I couldn't.

Nice. Nice and deep. I especially liked the sound on Born To Be Wild.

I really want one now!   :sad:  Of course I would have to dig up some of my emergency money from the back yard to buy one and I can't bring myself to spend any real cash nowadays >:( :sad:

Hey, do we have a user report on that Lakland Skyline Decade?  I'd sure like to hear how it's working out....I'm doing a Jimmy Carter for that Lakland: I have lust in my heart for it.

You have my commiserations, Buzz...  :sad:

Been reved up for purchasing since I re-started earlier this year, but something keeps cropping up to stall me once the lights trip... :sad:

John has one. 

I want one in the worst way but I'm spending "nada" nowadays >:(  Still working lots of hours but no overtime >:( >:( 

I have money in the bank but I'm hording it as my emergency fund.  :sad:

I've been watching Ebay for a deal but they have not shown up :sad:

I will probably sell mine as I am struggling financially and I do not play it that much. Not so much because I do not like it, but because I enjoy my Les Paul more, which the Decade is a cross between a LP, an EB-0 & Fender.


Great bass, but I am finding I do not need 10 basses for what I do. My 68 Non reverse has been sitting in its case for the last year. I love & my Fenderbird & LP more.

rant over...  :sad:
