Thank you for the decoder. I like simple things like "P" or "Glaub" instead of 44-64. I can never remember the number of what I'm searching for.

While I'm here, I'm searching for a USA Lakland P bass, or Glaub or 44-64. What year did they stop stamping these as Glaubs? Anyone know the highest Glaub serial number? The Lakland serial number decoder sheet seems to stop at BG411 in 2009. But I've seen used ones with BG serial numbers higher than that. Truly, I have searched around to decipher this and could not figure it. In poking around I did see BG01 sell on TB not too long ago. That was cool. I had a hunter green BG and stupidly sold it. Now I wish to replace it. Are the new Classic USA 44-64's just as good? I appreciate all your expert help.

Here's a fairly recent link to what the seller claims is BG660 - so they go at least that high?
No pics of the serial # though......

For Sale - Lakland USA Bob Glaub - Rare Factory Relic - "Pino" Clone - As New

The model numbers tell the year it was introduced.... Series and year... Not the serial number

44-94... 4 string 34" scale 1994
55-94...5 string 35" scale 1994

55-02...5 string 2002
44-02...4 string 2002

45-64 and 55-64...P bass ...p pickup in the '64 position .. oh wait

55-76...5 string 35" scale... Spacing and as a '76 MM.....Oooopps

55-63...5 string 35" scale ... Same J spacing as a 63 f***der J bass..oops.

Ok.. Mostly the year is was introduced...

With exceptions...

When did Lakland stop using the Glaub name for these USA 14-64's? This BG660 ad dates it in July 2015. I assume at some point they are no longer stamped BG on the headstocks? By the way, that bass looks terrific. I wonder if its still actually for sale.... listing is very stale.

My custom PJ Glaub made for me in 2017 is BG704.

The Glaub and Osborne names went away about the same time as the new ownership came in (if I remember correctly)

Ok, that was my thought.. '07... the rest of the numbers still confuse me though. Regardless, I love my Duck Dunn

I’m not sure the rest have meaning- It’s not incremental, there aren’t that many skylines!

This popped up last night and I think I have it incoming. Olympic White Dan Lakin-era Glaub 2008, BG376. The one I regretted selling was just three builds later, BG379. Cool.... So, I might need to join the club, here, again.

 

[Holdsg]

oh yeah, and that has the cool white tolex case too! outstanding find!

 

[Lava]

Nice!

That should be October 2007, as the second pair of digits indicates the month of manufacture.

Doug, don't try to tell us autocorrect changed October into May!

Awesome! But that one to the right has my covetousness pegging out! Hubba hubba!

First NBD in quite a while!

I really could not pass this one up due to the price.

It is a 2001 55-63 (Dual J).

It has a small ding on the black area near the upper horn and the bridge pickup has a bit of corrosion on the poles but nothing major.

It is super light (sub 9 lbs???) and the set up is very low and fast.

The previous owner put some side marker stickers on it but that was cured with a bit of go be gone and wood polish.

The neck is nicely aged and feels awesome.

The pickups are Fralins and they sound like great Fralins should.

I thought she may need a set up but NOPE...she feels great the way she is.

Of course the obligatory pics:

Thanks...
That's my refinished 5507.... One of the earliest...it was the test bass....it used to look much different.
