I dont have recording equipment and cant get a vdecent vid on youtube of the SKB (alot on their hollowbody though). It sounds and plays very much like a Lakland, its less *tinny* and has more punch due to the neck and board construction, although with the preamp and tone can be achieved. I typically play it in dual single coil mode and switch on the humbucker to boost my low mids and cut through if the mix is too low and i cant spin around and adjust my volume. It slaps beautifully, and it can round jaco tone as well when eq'd right.
Custom built from Canada, very Lakland 55-94-esque, great sounding bass! It has very light swirling on the back ( i cant get it to come out in a picture) but otherwise is in great condition.
