Lakland Owners Group #69

[basspraiser]

Hey all! Here's my latest video pitting the ESP LTD BB-1005 against the Lakland Skyline 55-02 Custom. I hope you enjoy!

Great review..

Just 1 correction... There is a mid-range selector on the 55-02...

But you have to go into the cavity to adjust it...

It's not outside on a knob...

 

[basspraiser]

do Skylines not have a mid freq selector on the pre?

Yes.. See my post earlier

 

[basspraiser]

Nope, coil tap for the rear pickup only.

They do...
Yes.. See my post earlier

 

[LowEndLobster]

Yup, already corrected the description of the video. Thanks though!

 

[basspraiser]

Oh... I didn't know that... Why would they put it there? lmao. Going to add that to the description of the video.

Edit: It's extra hilarious as this is my second 55-02 and still had no idea. First one was back in 2005 or 6 with barts though.

Bart preamp had the same type of selector ... But slightly different frequencies

I’ve been loving my Skyline Duck Dunn bass more than my American Original Jazz lately. I’ve got it tuned it down 1/2 step, and I’ve been getting re-acquainted with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s catalog. Played thru my Ampeg V4B and 610 cab, it’s absolutely epic.

On another note, Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and stay safe and healthy everyone.

Happy Easter!

I didn't know that! That's very interesting. Thanks

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it!

My church wanted families to post a video alleluia since we were not worshipping together...

I cannot do so without a bass... so... Here it is.... Sorry about the wrong note/intonation issues on the last note of the intro... This was one take and my daughter did not want to do another...

I thought Cort made the Skylines. As well as many other import brands.

Supposed to be ESP building the Japanese Shoreline basses. Skylines are Indonesian.

 

[basspraiser]

Yes.

Cort makes Skylines.

ESP makes a couple levels of shoreline basses

 

[citizenchris099]

Yes.. See my post earlier

it was mostly a rhetorical question because I was trying to be nice. I knew they did and was trying to get the conversation started in that regard.

<vent>Why are there so many sweet 5-string Laklands for sale but not the 4-string one(s) I NEED?</vent>
Edit: And. no, I'm not switching to a 5.

totally agree my man. I don't want nor need a Fiver and Lakland Fives are SOOO popular. Or maybe they aren't because they are so many being sold(?)

 

[Jamvan]

Wait. Lakland makes 4 string basses?

 

[citizenchris099]
