Lakland Owners Group #53

[RumbleBeeAL]

The Scheff arrived safely.
Gotta say you where right Doug, this thing is very cool!
Feels WAY more like the US bigger brothers than expected.
Has a great tone range and killer ooomph, snarl and burpage. LOL
Fun bass...
Might wanna grab a black pearloid or other funky cover for her...Jeannies?

Sweet! We knew you'd be impressed. I'm really surprised these Skyline JS models were discontinued.

I'll admit, at first, the bright Chrome Armstrong Lipstick Tube pickups look a bit different.

However, the pickup and unique spacing/placement really bring these animals to life.

The Black PG would be a cool color combo. Maybe Black Pearloid too?

Keep us posted...

2009 Bob Glaub. Alder body in Olympic White with a rosewood neck. Jazz width. Weight is just a tad over 8lbs.

I decided to suck it up on the jazz width and just get used to it.

I LOVE this bass! Love it!

Wow, just beautiful. And how did you get such a low club number for the P-Bass?

I got that number for previous Skyline Glaubs I have owned.

Very Nice Dan!

But I do wonder what one of these beasts would look like completely blacked out except for the bright chrome pups staring back at you from the darkness. Yeah, I went there.

 

[Mrfstop]

Yea for sure...all elements come together in this.
A lot more ROAR than I would have figured from a bass like this. Pretty cool for sure.
Came with a black one and a white one.
Black was on it.
Would like something that kinda looks old school? Retro maybe?
Was thinking Pearloid...but maybe black pearloid?
Have to look into what is out there?

[roadkill2309]

Actually, it's getting the *virgins* wet that-- actually, you know what? I uh... Won't go there after all...

I'll have one of these with neck binding, please. But I want to keep the dot inlay. Hubba hubba hubba

 

[BassAgent]

Speaking of which: I'm considering having my Lakland pimped. I want binding around the fingerboard to match my Fender What would a job like that cost, do you guys think? Has anyone here done that?

So it matches this (sorry for the not-Lakland):

 

[Holdsg]

I bet you could buy a new BNB neck for about the same price as getting it retrofinished.

 

[BassAgent]

I don't want BNB... I want DNB

 

[76Dub]

Finally after having all my ducks in a row I picked up this baby today!
