Am i going to regret this?Lakland vs. Fender

I very much prefer the Lakland over the Fender. It comes down to personal preference but imo, the Lakland is so versatile, looks better, sounds better, feels better. Plus they have great customer service to always back you up. The new rig thing might be cool in your situation but personally I'd keep the Lakland and just save up for a rig later. Just my little opinion

 

Man I'd jump on that trade in a heartbeat....if I were the other guy.

 

Yea...I wouldn't do this trade either.

 

I have to strongly advise that you not make this trade.

 

I own both a Fender Am. Dlx. V and a 55-02.

Hands down the Lakland has MUCH more tonal versatility. It's my go to bass. I have the Fender set up "vintage" with flats for an old school vibe, so I don't use them for the same purpose. But when the Fender had rounds on it, I played it side by side with the Lakland and I can honestly say, the Lakland is the better bass.

That said, my Fender is WAY better passive than the Lakland. I love the vintage tone of the Fender running passive.

 

+1,000

Sorry, but I wouldn't trade my 55-02 for a dozen mim's... Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but still.

 

i think we have an answer.

+1 to keep the lakland

 

How much cash? For what's it's worth, I had a 55-02 briefly and I didn't like it. Traded it for a JO5. Much better fit for me. I also have a 55-01 I like better than the 55-02. I don't think it's a bad trade if you net a significant amount of cash in the trade. Good thing about Fenders is they can be upgraded if it's not up to par!

 

I think the majority speaks...and I agree....keep the Lakie!

 

I don't like the 55-02 or 55-01 so I'd take the 300 plus the Fender V in a heartbeat.

 

Ewww.....that's all? Yeah, follow your gut! You can do better trades!

 

I never liked active fenders, they sound shallow and lifeless... try one before you trade.

 

^ this....

 

Please keep the Lakland cause you will regret it.

 

Keep the Laki young fella!

 

Don't do the trade!

 

call it off while you still can!!! NOW

 

keep the lakland
