Is this a real Lakland?

To keep yer peas in.

Ok I'll just see myself out...

I saw this locally and I'm not sure if it's real or not. I figured the TalkBass brain trust could help me out.

The owner says it's a Lakland Skyline, but the body looks way off. And I think it's missing the neck pickup, did they ever make a Skyline model with only the MM? The pickup is a Bartolini. Not sure about the bridge though.

You must be really board to post this.

Did you check out the serial number?

Jan 2006. Its Korean made and has the Hipshot Licensed tuning machines. Not as nice as the USA Hipshots on my Warwick, but better than factory tuners on my MIM Jazz Bass.

All you have to do is enter the serial number to find out if it's real

I wonder if it floats? Theres no battery, so its probably fine.

Does it weigh the same as a duck?

Not sure, I have no ducks handy. I can, however, take it over to my sisters house to see if it weighs the same as a witch.

I did that a few times already, it just keeps saying the authorities have been notified.

It means this is a rare Canadian series model from British Columbia factory.
Beautiful one piece body made of Douglas Fir Larch. It was equipped with single Bartolini MM style pickup in 2002-2003. Encoding serial number: day15 week29 year0 - 15th July 2002.
They have produced only 21 copies so this is real collector's item!

 

[Steve88]

I'd be tempted to buy it for a body-replacement project if it was cheap enough.

 

[MatchFive]

It's a real Lakland neck.

Two divergent mental paths that didn't quite connect.
