Hi, i dont own a lakland yet, but im really interested in the scheff series. I was wondering if anyone knows the string spacing. I do know that they are discontinued, but im really curious about this bass.
good choice, im a huge fan of the scheff, i recently sold my fretted(i will own another one)
but still own my fretless which im keeping forever.

the string spacing and the neck and body dimensions are the same as the 44-02 or 4-94, except with the extreme pickup placement, you can get some really fat(neck) and growly(bridge)tones and all kinds of in between. the soundclips up on the lakland site are a good example, except the fact that they were recorded flat, so add a little bass to the neck(thunderous) or some mids to the bridge(jaco who)

hope that help!!:bassist:

SWEET!!!! welcome back!!!
 
Saw Papa Roach on Leno last night while at work. Bassist had a black/maple Chi-loaded DJ4, I think. Coulda been a JO maybe. Didn't see it in time to figure out what it was. But, it was definitely a CS Lakland.


GO ON THE LAKLAND WEB SITE....GEEESH!!!!

THERE IS AN ENTIRE WRITE UP ON THIS!!!

BTW - I have a friend who is friends with the entire band....he is quite the guy and MAY be there at the GTG...he does not play bass but went to the Lakland GTG last year and had a GREAT time....his son plays bass and guitar (also - he dumped my daughter about a year ago - they went out for about 2-3 months.....wierd to be friends with the parents...he is really a nice kid...except no taste in girls).....
 
I'm not usually a fan of all black, but that thing is NOT! Hell to the yeah!!!

I was just telling Ferg tonight (over a scotch - well I was on the phone with him DRINKING a scotch just to bug him) that I really want to re-join the black and tan club......nothing since my T-40 was sold!!!

Maybe a nice Geddy-Lakie will do it!!! (but a 5er of course!!!)
