thebrig Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Anyone own, or have tried these basses? I would be very interested to know your thoughts on them because it could just be what I'm looking for, a precision bass sound/body, and a Jazz nut width. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Nice basses. I picked up a natural finish one some months back and really like it, good range of tones with added bonus that the tone control actually works rather than being a bit on/off. Pretty light too, mine was 4kgs dead, and a brilliant neck with a very tactile satin finish. Gratuitous pic IIRC there's one f/s on here to the same spec as mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 They’re excellent! As are all Lakland basses really! Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ive not had that one, but i had 2 Skyline Duck Dunns, which was the forerunner to the 44-64, but with only a P. Amazing basses. Really, really regret not keeping one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrig Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I've just bought this lovely Lakland USA Bob Glaub PJ that has a Jazz neck. 😊 I suppose I could still get the Skyline version as a backup with all the money I've saved by not being able to go to the pub? 😉 Edited January 16, 2021 by thebrig 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Makes a lot of sense, that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine what USA models will be like as they'll be a step or three up from the already excellent Skylines.

I used to use it on either of my Squier CV basses as i loved Lakland necks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshorepunk Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think this model is the evolution of what was the duck dunne model, I may be wrong though ive played one and really liked it, if I didn’t have my caprice, this would be my first choice of PJ bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lakland lost the right to use Ducks name they changed it to the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your new bass Not received it yet but I've purchased it from a well respected BC'er so I'm sure it will be nice, and most of the reviews I've read have said this model is about as good as P basses can get. When I receive it, I will give an update. Edited January 16, 2021 by thebrig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
