On a related note, does anyone else think that the following is uber cool?

I reckon that would look excellent on a BG or DD

I often have these thoughts....

drool
 
All this P/Glaub/Dunn talk is very timely for me.

I've been loving my JO-CS but keep thinking I would like to have a P-bass with flats on it for some old school sounds. Only problem is I can't play a P neck so I need a J neck.

I know the Skyline Dunn has a J neck but I'm just not into red and I think the blocks are a little too much for a P. I wish Lakland would make a Skyline Glaub with the JO neck in olympic white. I just love the look of a white P with a tort guard and rosewood board...OR.... sonic blue with a maple board would be tempting as well. Alright, I'd settle for a burst Glaub with a JO neck. They've got all the parts, just make me one already!!!!!

Too bad I can't afford a US made Glaub.

Rock on!
 
I think Doude has something for you. Candy Red Apple Something with the best of both :ninja:

thanks Denis....failed to mention (sellers remorse??) that the bass was shipped out last week to St. Louis...to a guy who may not even keep it!!! argh....frustrating when that happens!

He wanted it so bad and then I checked in on him...he said it was "just OK" and not really the tone he was looking for.....man - I would like that bass back....but need the cash as well.....

i hear ya, I wish they would mix and match a lot of their skyline necks with different bodies.
 
Just watched John's vid of his band playing alongside Midas :) That's very nice sound! The bass cuts through the mix but doesn't kill other instruments. The best kind of domination!

new tag line (Markus - you listening???? this HAS to be on the Lakland web page before the end of the week):

"Lakland CHI-sonics - The best kind of domination!"

LOVE it!
 
Good news for me!
I will get to play my first Lakland this Saturday! (It's Tuesday in Australia now)
I'm pumped....:D

P.S. I know I touched on this topic last thread, but I've been listening to the audio clips on the website as well as some Ed Friedland 55-02 one's, and I'm GASing majorly
 
No doubt! I think I just want the simplistic look and operation of a P bass. Prolly doesn't make any sense. I had an SB-2 once, and having that J pup in the back just made it too easy to noodle with for no reason. I'm wanting to get "stuck" on some gigs with nothing but a P bass, and see how things work out.

they will work out fine....just fine.....I probably could live the rest of my live with my BG5 PJ and not another Lakie...not that I would want to TRY mind you....but I "could" if I had to....!
 
Yeah good point, but the reason I ask is because, Link Removed the standard P pup is considered a chi-sonic pickup.

Basically I wanted to see if he would if Markus would be willing to compromise the look of a standard P for the sound.

I believe Greg may have played a CS BG and a "std" BG side by side at the factory....I KNOW he played a BG CS and (maybe???) A BG5CS.....he may be able to comment on the sound difference...

I THOUGHT about it but then it could not be a PJ set up.....REALLY wanted that so......kept it "stock" as it were....love the sound of it....

Randy - I will not doubt you again my friend!
