I almost fell over when  I saw this. It plays and sounds fantastic. Sorry I have my arm over the front of the bass but you can imagine how nice it is. Mike does great work. It is one of best I have seen from him.

I just bought another Lakland or I would have bought this one on the spot. He said Hugh McDonald of Bon Jovi bought one and is going to pick his up when they come through town.

When I first spoke with Mike about this he mentioned the R&D on the pup alone was over 5K, he's dedicated to 'Birds!

I always enjoy a visit to the shop, he's a great guy to chat with, knows plenty about Thunderbirds.
