All about the same price I'm leaning toward the G&L USA over the Lakeland Imports thoughts?

Been a fender guy all my life. want to try something different. I have never tried a G&L or Lakland. But i heard a ton about both. Its hard to buy without playing I checked out the music stores around and there is non of either. so I might give one of theses a shot.

I've got a 2015 LB100. Great bass. Solid build. Plays and sounds great. Very happy with it. Can't speak to the Laklands but hear good things about them too.

There is a mystique, I think, about owning a US-made bass. I know there is for me.

yes I know what you are talking about. its a Made it the USA. I would bet that the lakland sounds just as good. but I also like the color of the G&L

give G&L a try-I wish I would have 30 years ago...

Ok I bought the G&L without trying it first. I liked the fact that it only weighs 6.9 pounds. this will be great on my back. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

6.9 pounds? Is this a typo, perhaps? That is crazy light.

Congrats on the G&L! Let us know how you like it when it arrives. I recently took in a P style bass that was just under 8 lbs (7.9ish) without the strap it is quickly becoming my go to in part because of weight.

 

[magic8161]

OOPS it 7.7 pounds
