I was wondering about that. I tracked down an old ad in the classifieds for a LPB Lakland and asked the seller who bought it and he said that you had. Since I had already bought this bass I didn't pursue it but judging by the lack of LPB Glaubs you see I was guessing it was actually the same bass.

So is this the only LPB Skyline Glaub in all of Talkbass? I know there was one with a jazz pickup and 1.5" neck but this is apparently the only standard one I have seen.

Did you buy it from the original owner.

I think my winter project is going to be compiling some Skyline info..like what colors were available what year and how many were made in that color. I know there were very few CAR and LPB Skylines made and I also know there were very few Scheffs made.

Let us know what you find out.....would LOVE to have that info on the LOG....do you want to be our "Skyline Historian"? (I am being serious!).

I had a CAR BG4.....LOVED it in all ways - would have kept it 'cept for needing cash for my BG5 PJ....

ain't it nice when you get an option for the same price as the same item without the option? that did not come out as great as it sounded in my mind but you know what I am saying...right???

you got the thumbrest for the same price as a non-thumbrest model....

oh NEVER MIND!!!!

REMEMBER....he JUST had a DJ5 not long ago (OK like 4-5 basses and 2 weeks ago) and decided that he could not play a 5er so you may get your wish of a cheap 5er soon...but you will have to fight several of us for it....

:eek: BLASPHEMY :spit::scowl:







Once you FEEL (not just hear) that low D, you'll find yourself using it more and more, and pretty soon you'll be hooked. You may even evolve :ninja: into using the open B :bassist::D.



I'm just messin'. Have fun with her! And, I can't believe she came w/ a double gigbag :rollno:!! You could probly sell that and have less than 1k in the bass..... unbelievable!!

Is that a single pickup decade?:hyper:
Tell me more.

The body originally was a "chop job" by a guy who tried to put in different pickups.....it did not work....the next owner sent the body into Lakland who sold him a new body.

you DO NOT want to look under the pick guard on this one....you COULD, however, put a second CHI in it...or leave it as is....sounded nice "as is"...

another "issue" is that there is a hole in the side where the old input jack was.....not a pritsine bass by any means...unique and great sounding - yes....

Had to cure my P GAS somehow, and was too late to get Terry's DSed one :crying:. So.... considering my love for Fralin's J pups, I figured I'd like their Ps as well. And, I'm also not too fond of the wide-nutted P necks. So, I went with this one :hyper:.

I'll tune her a step down or BEAD, dunno yet.

This'll be my first "real" P bass in 20 years of playing. And, I've NEVER used one in a band setting, just tinkered at home on a Squier and a crappy Kay copy. I've always said that "I'm not a P bass guy". Well, it's time to see what all the hubbub has been about for the last half decade or so :D.

I've spent some more time with the Dunn, this time playing along with classic P bass recordings as well as some newer things. I spent some time trying to get a Pino tone going, and it was quite successful! Still need the flats to really pull it off of course. Played around with some older Might Boss Tones, which was quite fun also. Really digging this bass. It's also pretty light since I searched different dealers asking them to weight them...under 9 lbs. Right down my alley.

I'm really liking this bass more and more. The CAR finish is deep and rich. It's far more attractive in person, and the white pickguard looks great too, so I think I'll not worry about replacing it for now.

I still think I'd like to trade my White DJ5 for a LPB or perhaps a Black sparkle. Are those two finishes as good looking in person as the CAR Dunn is? I love the white pearl, but my DJ has that finish, so I think I'd like something else on the DJ5.

Glad to see the Dunn is growing on you...YES - the LPB and black sparkle are awesome in person.....
