It's my feeling that the air of satisfaction and respect that Lakland gives to it's customers, is spread throughout the Lakland community at large.

Except for Markus. He's got WAY too many beautiful Lakland's not to resent him;)...:help:...:D

In all seriousness, I agree with you, jkramer5. When people don't understand why one would buy a "Fender clone", you're experience speaks for itself and is a major factor. Not to mention that Lakland's are fabulous:bassist:

Thanks for the nice feedback. The Hollowbody is awesome, unreal, fantastic, a joy to play. I have never (NEVER) had so much instant karma with a bass. I totally understand the wild enthusiasm over Laklands here. The Plek process is incredible and produces necks with superb action. The fit and finish... well, you know. :) The photos are pretty good, but I swear they do not do the bass justice. In person it knocks people's socks off. I got the HB, took off the steel roundwounds (ouch) and loaded it with GHS Precision flats. Thumperoo! Lowered the strings a bit... little bit more... little bit more ... wow! The tone is just to die for. As I indicated in a previous post, I sold two basses, including my Duck Dunn, to get this. BUT I miss my Duck! Now GAS is festering for a new Inca silver or teal green version...
Pass the Beano, please. :D

Sweet! I've said this before, the HB is the highest-quality Skyline IMO (not that the others are slouches, mind you). And it's a lot more versatile than people who haven't tried one might imagine.:) Also, yes, Lakland necks have spoiled me rotten!

Oh yeah! Roundwounds + bridge pickup soloed = serious cut-thru. This bass is extremely capable of showing the differences between string types and nuances. I say again sir, Wowza!
