lawriemacmillan Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) For sale is my Lakland Bob Glaub Skyline 4 string P-Bass. Ash body with sunburst finish Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard 20 frets Hipshot Ultra-lite tuners Lakland bridge with option for thru-body stringing It is currently fitted with the tortoiseshell pickguard, but the original mint (aged white) pickguard is included. I laid it over the bass in one of the photos below Nut width 43mm String spacing at bridge 20mm Protection Racket gig bag included This was manufactured in Korea during the original 'run' of Skyline basses, which seems to be a desired period amongst Lakland buyers. Their latest model (no longer named the 'Bob Glaub') is fitted with Lakland Hybrid Pickups, but I believe this bass is fitted with Lindy Fralins. It is presently strung with LaBella flatwounds. Superbly authentic sounding P-Bass, but with a much slicker & comfortable neck profile with a smooth satin finish. Very lightweight for a BIG sounding bass. There is one small bump on the body, as seen in the photo below [b]£580 ovno[/b] I used it on the Four Tops track [i]Reach Out (I'll Be There)[/i] on my party band's latest demo, recorded straight to desk via a Radial JDV DI box, with the tone knob rolled off around halfway: [url="http://soundcloud.com/willie-logan/reach-out-ill-be-there"]http://soundcloud.co...ut-ill-be-there[/url] I will post at additional cost. I haven't looked into courier options yet but Interparcel has always been reasonable and reliable in my experience.

karlfer Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Of no note to me, but it will be to some. Is yours, like mine, very light. If so let folk know, there's a few of us coffin dodgers who like light basses. Good luck, cracking basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 These are really great P basses. Better than your average US Fender in my opinion. This is an extremely fair price! If I still played 4 strings I would have bought it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cheers - yes I wanted to offer a price people wouldn't wish to try and haggle down. This sale is to help fund another buy, so the more appeal it has the better. And I have to agree, a much more pleasing bass than the average US Fender model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this bass is indeed very light, especially for a P-Bass. I should have mentioned that when praising its playability. I will weight it when I get back in the country in a couple of days.

The footage features me playing my Sadowsky, but I did in fact use the Lakland for the recording of Reach Out, and it can be seen in the studio shots.
