Just got done with my second serious session and I am floored by the feel of the bass, plays slicker than goose... well you get the point, action is spot on. Quote:

The entire maple neck was stained black - just like Doug's. But alas, Carl said these would be the last and only two necks he would do that treatment on. I guess the process is a bit of a bear. |

| Very cool! And I just realized it has a pick guard! The longer you look at it the more details come out. |

SL | Yeah, I know what you mean about the playability. The neck and fretwork on my Skyline Duck are perfect. That's one of the reasons it's the only Precision style bass I've been really happy with. The vintage frets are great, too. Slides just sound great, even with my monkey fingered technique.
Congratulations on your purchase!

SL | Congrats! All my Fenders went bye-bye after I started playing Laklands, I just like the neck and frets better. Jumbo's yech! |

| Hm. Maybe if I had a US Lakkie I'd feel the same, but my Fender P holds a pretty rock-solid position on my rack. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
