What began as a thread on the bass guitar forum Talkbass.com late last year is now The Lakland Owners Group (LOG), an organization dedicated to bringing together players and fans who appreciate Lakland basses and the company that manufactures them.*

"We're blown away and honored that people think enough of our products to put forth the effort to form this independent group. We plan to support them as much as we can," says Lakland President Dan Lakin.

Supporting members receive advance notice regarding new Lakland products, entry into monthly giveaways sponsored by Lakland and Jeannie's Pickguards, access to the LOG website, which includes discussion forums and a section called "Ask Dan" where members can submit questions to Dan Lakin himself, and more. Future plans include a LOG CD featuring supporting members, opportunities to advertise members' bands free online and more!
