These are seriously good basses. I've seen comments from players saying they've not been able to find a 5'er with a sufficiently potent B string. Well, you won't get that problem with the BBM5! Whoever buys this will be a happy bunny. Good luck with your sale.

Given all the above, anyone would be perfectly justified in asking 'if it's that good, why are you selling it?'. Well, I'm knocking on the door of 60 (mid 30's by Basschat standards) and I have a lot of very nice basses here, many of which are just being stored. The ones that don't see daylight are most likely never going to, unless I sell them. I gig quite a bit, but my Shuker is my go to and I also have another very nice Lakland Bob Glaub 44-64 P (also from @three) to back that up. P.S. Don't start getting any ideas @Chiliwailer and @molan - the Modulus and the Ritter aren't part of the culling 😎 You'll be the first to know if that happens 👍.

Thanks for that. I was a little unsure about the wood they used for the dots, but now you've said it, it's obvious. They do look very nice indeed. I didn't know about the '63 they modelled it on either. I bet that's a special bass.

For sale only (I'm not interested in trades, sorry). A Lakland USA Series 44/64 'Bob Glaub' Signature P/J bass in Olympic White. Purchased from @three of this parish about 4 years ago, this is a beautiful example of a discontinued signature edition from Lakland. It's in great condition with a couple of few small marks here and there which were present when I bought it. I've highlighted the most significant one in the photos. Other marks are very difficult to photograph and so minor as to be insignificant. To my mind, they are just as a result of it being played, swirling of the pick guard etc. It's wearing flats at the moment, which I have to say, suit it very well indeed. It weighs in at 8.9lbs on my luggage scales and has a jazz type neck with a nut width a shade under 38mm. The neck is extremely comfortable and the action is medium low, being my preference. I seem to remember it was a lot lower when I received it. It comes with a Lakland tweed hard case. I'd rather not ship it, but I'm happy to have a conversation about it if you're interested in the bass. Any questions just ask away.
