I have an active Decade (Skyline) coming soon. Excited for a different Lakland, as my last 3 bought have been P's. And I'm stoked for an active bass. Haven't really used one for the last 5 or 6 years.

Is it going to see stage time? I just bought my first P specifically because I wish I'd had one on two songs of the CD I just recorded. I brought it out to a gig, and people were kinda weirded out by the sight. I've sort of made the Amer 55-02 part of my... I dunno, 'stage persona,' I guess.

I'm trying to imagine you *without* a P strapped on...

Er, you guys ever play Montréal? I'd like to see the show live.

As hinted at 2 months ago, and (finally) paid off in full & picked up yesterday. My new Skyline 44-02 Deluxe in Natural Translucent! Not flashy, but I love it ... and find I'm having a hard time putting it down. :hyper:

I must've tried out 15-20 basses, and even though I liked a few, I couldn't bring myself to plunk down a deposit. Once the shop owner brought out this 44-02 and I played it for a while, my search was over. Budget couldn't swing a US-made 4-94, so I had to "settle" for this Crafted in Korea Skyline instead. :hiding:

Yes...I received a PM...I was supposed to submit it to the helpdesk. I didn't know about that rule. I guess I read them like instructions:D

Damn, and after I spent all that time typing a sincere reply to doug/basspraiser, the press release thread...

Well then, I wonder how much more customizable US lakies will be, now that the constraints of a single man's "signature preferences" are out the window. I'd love to have some medium-jumbo frets on an active, heavy-ash slapper bass. :bassist:

Let's say I was in the market for a new bass from Lakland since the LOG bass won't be out for a while.

What are the main differences between the 55-01 and the 55-02? General thoughts would be appreciated - sound, brightness, etc.

Thanks!

Very cool, Branden! I played an active Skyline Decade when the first run came out, I dig'em.

stop calling me "Sir!" I works for a livin! (just kidding!)

the natural deluxes are really nice....Amber is even nicer....maybe you can find a used Amber somewhere!

good luck.....you will NOT be disapointed....

Tommygunn said:
Correct sir. Its an -02

The models confuse me a bit. I normally don't like natural but that one at bass emporium is nice, barts too!

Denis;

I WAS a "bender" still getting used to the sliding thaing!

get it epoxied by a WELL trusted Luthier and you will love it...make sure you play the guy's work thoguh first...a bad epoxy job can kill a neck...

denchiq said:
I should have tried that... Maybe there's a way to do that locally -seems to be NBD compared to other luthiery stuff

Bending - I ain't doing that, I promise! Slidin' back and forth, just as you're saying
