[alloy70]

Hi guys just wondering could someone please tell me apart from the classic series body woods are alder,deluxe swamp ash,are there any other differences between the lakland deluxe series or the classic series.,do they both sound completly different?the specifications are more or less identical apart from the body woods..

The difference between the Classic and the Deluxe are mainly cosmetic . The only tonal difference comes from the use of alder as the body wood on the Classic , as opposed to ash on the Deluxe . The Classic has a solid colour finish, with or without a scratchplate , whereas the Deluxe has an ash body with a figured maple top . Lakland will happily make you a Classic with an ash body too , if you prefer ash for any particular reason . In reality , they both sound very similar , to my ears at least . Your talking about subtle differences that come from the respective body woods for each bass .
