Now THAT'S what a P should look like!!!

Thanks! And to think I once wanted to repaint it.

Dude, blasphemy!

 

[Black Bart]

You rang?

 

[JEDI BASS]

One vote for refin. But, that's just me. It's beautiful, but too many Ps look just like it.

That looks great. Where'd you get that pickguard from?

Even I think this looks great... Maybe I'm getting old, but something about the maple dots on the fretboard and the tort makes that combo look really nice.

It's stock.

 

[JEDI BASS]

It's stock.

Love Tort! And the fretboard IS gorgeous! Pat Wilkins paint jobs are unparalleled too!

Dude, blasphemy!

I know. There was a time I thought Daphne or Seafoam would be the living end. I ended up waiting because I couldn't make up my mind on which color. During that time the burst ended up growing on me.

I still toy with the idea of a refin, but for now I'm just enjoying playing her.

Funny. For me, Daphne, seafoam and orange are the triumvirate. The truth is that I love sunburst, but the fact that it is iconic to the point of being (IMHO) somewhat generic leads me elsewhere. Different strokes.

As much as I love sunburst, there is truth in your words. But, I'm very critical of the burst quality and the burst on that Glaub is the best burst I have seen on any 44-64 model.

 

[lomo]

that Glaub was the best burst I have seen on any 44-64 model.

I agree-perfect execution!

 

[SJLee]

Man! I have not had this many compliments on any other bass I have ever owned, and this is a humble sunburst P. Thanks for all the kind words!

Hi guys, I just received my first Lakland- a Korean Skyline P-bass. Trying to figure out how to ID the age, official model name and what pickup is in it if there are any tricks to that!

Thanks!

 

[BigBeatNut]

First two digits of the serial indicate the year. P-body + P-neck -> 'Bob Glaub' model, which now has a number instead of a name ... a 44-64 (rather than a 44-64 custom which has a J-neck). LINK

Nice, congrats! BigBeatNut has it right. The stock pickup in the Glaub (and Dunn, for that matter) until late 2007/early 2008 was a Fralin, after that it's the Lakland-Hanson Neopunch (which is more aggressive in the upper mids compared to the old-school-ish Fralin). Since the Skyline Glaubs haven't had the CAR finish in years and that one is MIK, I'm betting yours is pre-pickup transition.

Beautiful. I love the look of a solid color P with white guard.....it has the vibe of elegant simplicity....everything one needs, and nothing one doesn't I'm gonna mod a 5501 in that image....
