Dom in Dorset Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Stumbled on this while doing vital research on Derek smalls: [url="http://www.lakland.com/the-decade.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/the-decade.htm[/url] I love the look of the body shape , TBirdesque , but not actually that much like a TBird when you look closer. Only in America as far as I can tell, about $2000 mark. about £1200 Dear Father Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 There is a 30" short scale version available as well which would have been right up my street had it been about a quarter of the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 There was a review on those recently in one of the bass mags I have to admit, I think they look ace! But I am swayed by retro looking gear They are available in either passive, or active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think they're great, I saw Amy Winehouse's bass player using one recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Looks very nice. I'll have a black single pickup one with a mirrored scratcplate for under £600 please. Well when they do one I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Essential Tension (aka Dave) has one of these - you can see a pic of it in the SE Bass Bash photo thread (its the one of his rig comprised a Mesa Walkabout, this bass and his drool-some Tony Franklin fretless) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=63096&view=findpost&p=623614"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=623614[/url] Edited October 21, 2009 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Dan Lakin describe it as a Gibson EB3 lower bout and a Fender Bass VI upper bout. The Skyline finish - translucent burgundy, black pickguard, blocks and binding, black headstock - was designed for a Gibsonesque retro feel by a small group of seven (including me) in the last days of the Dudepit.
