Lakland Owners Group #69

Playing my Skylines today

Question for the Lakland collective. Primarily for 44-02/44/94, or 55-02/ 55/94 as well as other Lakies.
What is your favorite coil selection combination?

One of mine is neck half of MM pup, also combined with neck J pup.

Another is MM pup all by itself.

And lastly bridge half of MM pup combined with neck J pup.
Then EQ to taste.

This is just the start to variations.
Would like to hear some other favorites from others.

I usually just keep all pickups on and tone set flat.

I normally play mine with the MM pickup all by itself with the EQ flat.
For certain songs I'll split it to the neck coil and add in the neck pickup blended at 50/50.

Here is the picture the seller sent to me. This is advertised as a Lakland USA 44-94 Deluxe.

He told me the last digit of the S/N is 8, but in the photo it looks more like a B.....

I'm not a Lakland aficionado yet, but those don't look like Hipshot Ultralite tuners, there is a screw on the top of the low E tuner where there shouldn't be.

Definitely a B. 1072 puts it in the 2010-2011 range. But Leo or Brian could tell you better.

Also, it looks like the seller doesn't know the proper way to install strings on a bass. A guitar player maybe?
