The Last Bass Outpost

The builder said he used a Lakland bridge to show some company pride. I think it looks really great on the Grabber body.

Best not to show these over at TB. I don't know what JH could do but why make waves?

Agreed. And it's really nice that these basses are available at such great prices and virtually unknown to the masses. I can't wait to get my Bachbird but I won't be posting pics of it over there once it arrives. Even if it makes it into a group shot at some point there will be no information attached to it. I saw some pics of the NR Bird and heard the Bach name a couple of times before my frantic gas fueled search landed me here. I won't be the one publicly giving away the location of the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.

Wow! That looks pretty.

That gives me an idea.
What if you took one of these and put Chisonics in?

once we saw a picture of a bach bass here Mr. Green

Damn Rob. Why'd you have to go and do that.

Thanks I will. Supposed to arrive on wednesday.

I have owned several US Laklands. The one I still own is a mahogany short scale Decade (the bass in my avatar). It's totally unique in feel and tonal range and a monster in every way. I've never had more fun playing bass. It's a lifer for sure. The other two were both passive Joe Osborn jazzes which of course are Fender clones. For me it was all about the neck feel and playability of these basses. No Fender i have ever played has come remotely close to feel and quality of these necks. I'd still own one of them, it had something extra, but I have an almost 15 yr old dog who needed some high dollar vet care this winter so I had to sell it. I'm sure there are magic Fenders out there too. But every US Lakland I have played had an incredible neck. And that makes the cost worth it for me. But the ss Decade is the only one I ordered and paid full price for. The two JOs were both used so somewhat more affordable.

Honeyburst TH-1 coming to me. I can't wait!

I lived in a band house with a basement recording studio in the 80's. We had a small stack of acoustic 360s. They were so cheap second hand and fantastic workhorses. Every time we came across a used one at a pawn shop we would pick it up. I wonder where they all are now. Has anyone played through the new versions, especially the B600H? They seem to get mostly positive reviews but I'd like to hear opinions from someone who has maybe played through both an old one and the new version. Great video.
