Hammeron Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Hi folks. Recently acquired US Lakland BG 5. Near mint condition, I am the 2nd owner, the original owner purchased directly from Lakland. Strung with TI flats, comes with original Lakland case. I received this instrument as part of a trade deal, I’m just not a P-bass player, but take my word for it this instrument sounds very good. See below a short clip of me playing this bass direct into GarageBand with no effects or eq’ing, just a bit of foam under the bridge. Open to trade offers. 0D0ED0F3-7657-466E-8985-9B45DABA75BF.MOV Edited February 12, 2019 by Hammeron 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammeron Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 I gigged this bass tonight folks, in all honesty I am not a P-bass player, I find that my RH touch is more suited to playing over the back pickup of a Jazz Bass, as I have been for years.....but...I nearly had a change of heart after tonight’s gig, this bass sounds GREAT! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've been playing a US Lakland P and PJ a lot in the past few weeks - outrageously good basses! They do that great P thump (perfectly evident in the video) just beautifully well - kind of what they were built for, and playability, with a good set-up, is sublime. For me, the best of the vintage Fender clones. I'm not surprised that this is on-hold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
