Assuming this is the same bass, it attracted quite a lot of attention when it was sold last year.

As a Lakland fan, I was surprised to learn that the original Duck Dunn model was simply a Bob Glaub with a couple of minor cosmetic changes. The whole Jazz neck on a Precision body + CAR thing came along later.

I have to say that as soon as I got my DD it ousted my BG from the rack, and I sold the Bob Glaub just a couple of months later. The BG is a truly excellent P-bass, but the neck on the DD just plays so well ...

...there was one for sale at my local store: Absolute - it looked like a BG to me so I emailed Dan Lakin - this is his reply:
"That was actually A Duck Dunn special edition. It is basically a Glaub with a gold anodized pickguard. Only 30 were actually made."
So quite the collectors item. However, after owning a BG and now a DD - this is deffo a BG.

Only 30 were actually made...! I've seen 3 for sale (I am inc' the one advertised by Absolute but NOT the FIVE times that this particular bass has been listed :rolleyes: ) on eBay in the last 3 months; so either someone has their stats wrong or every UK owner has decided to move their DD Sp Ed on at the same time. :)

That's got to hurt the seller... £510 minus final value fees and if the seller pays by paypal then he's looking @ £470 (net)! :)

This one belongs to me now. Maybe it was a bit pricey (although I didn't pay the asking price) but its as new. Lovely, lovely bass!
