That ought to answer the question which pops up here about every other week. Thanks!
Don't forget to add at the bottom about left handed US models:
Lakland can't promise they'll actually make you a left-handed bass when you specifically order one nor will Lakland apologize for any screw ups.

This should be a sticky, along with....
"Precision vs Jazz, what's the difference"
"Basses for a complete newbie"
and
"Do a freakin' search, here's how"
Seriously though thanks for the link, I read the older lakland skyline info page, but actually learned a couple of more things from this one.

"In 2007, Lakland plans to offer an annual limited run of special colors for the Skyline series only! Keep an eye on the website, and in touch with your local dealer to find out more."
Yeah, that's what caught my eye, too.Squidfinger said:"In 2007, Lakland plans to offer an annual limited run of special colors for the Skyline series only! Keep an eye on the website, and in touch with your local dealer to find out more."

Those snobs who like to say my bass is better than yours...
Korea... pfft... USA... nice one
etc etc
Well, I see it that way, too. The price difference compared to the actual differences doesn't justify buyin a US, to me, yet, if I had the money, i'd probably still go with a US. Just cause that's a 'real' Lakland, if y'know what I mean.

I know what you mean, but...it's just like Colin Greenwood from Radiohead...he's just gone and bought himself a Sadowsky Metro and people are asking him why he didn't get 'the real thing'...his answer was that he's got everything he needs from a more cheaply manufactured Bass instead of having to pay more to get pretty much the same bass anyway.
I agree with that 100%. That's why I play a Turser instead of a Hofner...well, I can't afford a Hofner, and a Turser's not remotely the same, but you get the point.Funkzfly said:

Exactly, Like my Spector i could've spent twice as much and bought the USA model. Yeah there was a slight difference but not £1000 worth.
I'd only buy the more expensive model if money wasn't an issue
