Lakland dealers in London

[Guest]

I've heard lots of good things about the Lakland Joe Osborn 5 and I'd really like to try one out - The Gallery has one Skyline, but I'd like to compare a few back to back if possible.

Google isn't giving me much to go on, so does anybody know a place in London that has a few in stock?

Cheers!

I'm up in North London. Pretty near the edge where it's nice and green, but there's still plenty of Mediocre Chicken™ shops for the true connoisseur.

It'd be cool to give those a whirl too, especially the Glaub - I haven't yet played a Precision that I've enjoyed.

Wow, looks like they've undercut everyone else by a couple of hundred - which now makes me wonder if this little excursion would be such a good idea...

Donald "Duck" Dunn, bass player with the Memphis Group, or MG's as they are commonly know, as in Booker T and the MG's. Stax/Altlantic house band so their James Jamerson, played on Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, etc - all the stuff Tommy Cogbill did not play on.

Later a Blues Brother.

Total bass legend - up there with the gods.

+1 to that.

Bought mine off here a few months back and absolutely love it. It's even demoted my Marcus Miller Jazz to a back up bass now!

It's a signature bass named after Duck Dunn, see above for potted biog. It only comes in Candy Apple Red and as standard with a Lindy Fralin pick-up. There is the option of a dark Star pick-up.
