bassmasta2b Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Maybe a trade for a Roscoe LG3000 ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 These USA Laklands are excellent, I much prefer them to the Skyline series (although these are also good). Lakland's candy apple red is a particularly good colour as well. Really deep and glistens under stage lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredders Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have [b]very[/b] serious GAS for this bass... One of my 'really wish I'd never sold that' basses was a Bob Glaub Skyline, and it was amazing. I can only imagine how good the US one is like. Looks round to see what could be sold....

Do you still have my old CIJ 70s p ? [/quote] You have it now? It's a beaut. The CIJ 70's P bass was traded for a Jack Casady, which in turn I traded (with a Mike Dirnt P bass) for a MM Big Al. I then sold that, and bought back Casady, which I've subsequently sold again! It would be quicker for me just to throw money down a drain, I think. Apologies to the OP for going off topic. I would love this bass - always wanted to try a US Bob Glaub and it's a great colour, too. Edited October 4, 2013 by tredders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I love the look of this bass - is the nut width a standard C or more narrow (1.625 or 1.5")? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This bass used to be mine The neck feels like a lovely pre CBS Fender But what is most striking is the colour. I have owned a few candy apple reds over the years but the dept and quality of the paint job on this one was amazing. Its the first thing everybody comments on when they see the bass. Then they start to go nuts about the feel of the neck and the playability. And thats before they plug it in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys - the width at the nut is 1.75" . Lakland do offer an optional jazz style neck version which is 1.5" at the nut.

I traded your Club bass for a 51RI, which I traded for a modded classic series 50s p, which I then traded for a status Matrix, which I sold to buy your Bob Glaub from another Mark. I haven't spent any more money though happily it's the sun burst one with a rosewood board and mint p/g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm really surprised this hasn't sold yet at this price . These are in fact imported into the U.K , and this bass with these options would set you back over two and half grand for cash . I've played most of the upmarket boutique vintage Fender-style basses on the market, and these U.S.A -made Laklands are just about the best of the lot . Only things like Celinders can match them . The vintage-style frets on these feel great and help them play like butter , too. Have a bump for a quality bass that captures that pre-CBS Fender vibe better than most .
