Members Thumper Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Discuss more.... (note DARKSTARS...) I think the bass looks pretty cool, period. The Dark Stars are the gravy on the biscuit. I've heard the sound clips and like the dark, vintage-y tone. If I ever win the lottery, the first purchase will be a vintage Morgan Plus Four or Plus Eight. The next stop is Lakland for a fretless hollow body (unlined) loaded with Dark Stars.

Moderators Kindness Posted September 19, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2009 In my head to head comparison, I actually was more impressed with the ChiSonic version than the Dark Star version, but I wouldn't be unhappy to have either.

Absolutely hate the aesthetics in every possible way. Hahaha. Having played a ton of these basses I am certain you'd love them if they looked the opposite of what they do.

Members LarryNJ Posted September 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hmmmm- Spoke w/ guy at Lakland; asking if he knew of anyplace w/ Active Decade in stock. During discussion, mentioned DarkStar-equipped (passive) NOS at Mesa H'WD... "THERE IS??!" He said--- "Wow, I'd jump on that it's a classic- We had (1) set of DarkStars here at the factory, and we routed a bass for a Customer who asked for those pups....How much are they asking for it??" He says, ( this was the guy at Lakland)... Never did call me back w/ a Dealer' maybe an active USA Decade isn't out there... Veeeerrry interesting, no? Discuss.

Moderators Kindness Posted September 19, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2009 Lakland's busy at the moment losing contracts, they're too busy to call back. Are you looking for US or Skyline? Which pickups would you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cab issue is in the back of my mind - getting a replacement for your larger cab to ease the burden on your back. If something jumps to mind I'll let you know. If you want to talk it over before then, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L-1329 Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Will do, and I do appreciate that. I am in the process of defining exactly what I need from a rig, and will be better able to zero in on something after I get closer. I'll certainly be in touch for some guidance!

Members LarryNJ Posted September 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Lakland's busy at the moment losing contracts, they're too busy to call back. What is happening there as far as losing contracts?? Are you looking for US or Skyline? Which pickups would you prefer? USof A fer sure, tho I know that the Skykline make lots of players happy. Always have been intrigued by Darkstars, Fred Hammon seems pretty involved with what he's doing. Haven't heard Chi-Sonics or more importantly played them in the mix; same with Darkstars. Between those 2 basses, it gets down to finish (both very kewl IMO) and pups-that's it. I might have ORDERED a US Decade, active, maple board, trans finish, but that could take a looong time, and I'm immature and impatient when it comes to taking delivery of basses I crave... Hmmm- maybe this one is a done deal, then....:poke: Could it be.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Kindness Posted September 19, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2009 From an all out factor, I dig the red and Dark Stars. I still think the ChiSonics sound a touch better in the highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LarryNJ Posted September 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I will DISCUSS Monday late afternoon, maybe Tuesday (UPS comes as late as 7 PM) the Fiesta Red DS'd Decade. A couple of Nash 55's, one MK Blonde, the other Butterscotch, came in close 2nds between the Lakland Decades in the: OK you're making real good $$ now and you need another Bass like a 2nd *******, but then again tho you (meaning "I") am irresponsibe and have severe signs all over of arrested development, what the &**% is the problem?? with that??? Howzabout all those suckahs that lost their money in the stock market or BS investment schemes or real estate forclosures and {censored}, trying to flip a frikkin' house fer gawdsakes, when at least I blow my hard-earned and well deserved coin on awesome bass guitars, each one unique and utterly fabulous lucky me Contest. Phewwww. I'm exhausted after all that insight. DISCUSS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
