I wish i had even one of the basses you have.
Then Glaubs rock, alright. The funny thing I found comparing the USA to their Skyline counterparts...the Skylines had more mojo for me!
No denying that the USA is a darn fine instrument, but the Skyline did it for me. If I had the money, I woulda walked out the door with one.
FEEL THE POWER OF THE P!
What's your price? I'm curious!
What's the tone like? Traditional P-bass or more modern?
Fralin pups. Trad tone. It's a 9.5 out of 10 on my satisfaction scale. The -.5 is for the rosewood board. It takes some getting used to. Before this, it's been maple, ebony, or composite. The sound is awesome. Maybe that's the trade off. I sure wouldn't mind having a 4-string maple board Lakland.
Thanks, JR. It looks like a great bass! Congrats!
Maybe it's common with P-basses, but the output on the Lakland BG is VERY hot [with no distortion]. I have to turn the input gain control on the amp down to "3". If I didn't know better, I'd think the bass was powered by 18vdc.
Maybe there IS power in the "P"!
Very Very Nice. Congrats Mon.
Mine is done, but Lakland didn't have the pick guard I wanted so I'm still waiting. Mine is the same as yours except will have white perloid PG and Flats installed. I also got an active body but no preamp. So, if I ever want to add I just have one popped in. Same with my Joe Osborn. That makes threee Lakies for me. I've got a 4-94 maple with barts too.
my Spalt/Totem MODINE has a SD P pickup.
i absolutely LOVE the tone of a quality single P pup.
all i play right now.
great lookin BG ya gots there!
