Can someone in the know tell me why there does not seem to be much love/popularity for the Lakland Skyline Hollowbody 30 short scale? I got mine off Ebay and the only authorized dealer who has them seems to be BassCentral with barely 2 of them.



I have had mine a few months and really enjoy the light weight, easy playing and very responsive tone. It really does change how you play bass. A real keeper...

(not my photo but mine is exactly as photographed).

My guess: it's only been out for a year (and wasn't on the site for probably 6 months), and short scales don't seem to be a big market.

That is the "Markus floor" photo...we know it well.

I think it is because they are just breaking in to the market with these...BassCentral is NOT the only dealer...the initial run of 40 - 50 were all spoken for and they did at least one more run....so they ARE out there...

I like the sound....just not a short scale guy myself...comfort thang.

glad you like it...

very cool...

ex-Stryper front man to boot!

GREAT job man....how did you get the gig?

The last 2 Stryper records were recorded at a studio I've been doing session work at for years. When it came time for Michael to do his solo record, he turned to the engineer/producer who I'm pretty close with so he recommended me. Also, Michael lives somewhat close (maybe 2 hours) to the studio so it worked out cool.

Styrper's last record, the one that came out in November, charted really well (I think it hit #35 in the top 200) and got tons of great reviews...hopefully this well help Michael's record!

We know who's photo that is. I own a SS Decade and love it but the SSHB doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure it plays and sounds great but I find it kind of ugly. I think it would be more appealing in a solid color though. I'm not a big fan of Sunburst finishes in general.

I will be getting a refin done to mine :cool:

I'll be reporting back with that maybe in a month...and yes it'll be a solid color.

Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd share this clip of a song from a session I did for Michael Sweet with my Lakland JO bass, ran direct. It's the first single from his new album coming out on May 6th, 2014. Bass isn't overly loud, but you can hear how nice it sits in the mix. Michael on vocals and guitars, Kenny Aronoff on drums. Check it out!

Just got a new pair of headphones today (Bose QM15) and the mix sounds GREAT! The bass fits in JUST right.

:bassist:

Sounds great. Killer job!

I don't know Markus, but I think it's funny his floor is in every Lakland bass history sale.....Maybe he wants to sell the friggin floor...looks nice, way nicer than Pergo laminate flooring, I'd buy it!
