Lakland Skyline 44-02 4-String Bass Natural Rosewood Fretboard

I have no idea where to start. This bass is a Cadillac to me. Plays so good, neck feels and is fast, tone is exceptional, light weight, and looks SWEET! All my life I have played Fender. My last bass was a Fender Jazz. I witnessed a phenomenal female bass player on a cruise ship one evening absolutely ripped up the Lakland. I spoke with her after the show and she said she loved the bass. I decided to give it a try without even having played one before. I ordered a used one, in like new condition. I cant put it down!! I play at church and cant wait to put this baby to work. I would recommend this bass to anyone.

I got a great deal on mine, used through GC. They called it "good used condition", and it was nearly new, more store demo than used, so thanks GC. First, understated good looks. Nice gloss finish on an ash body, clean maple neck. It's a distinct shape, but I like it fine. The neck is really good, fast, satin smooth and very close to a Fender Jazz, but not quite as narrow at the nut. Like all necks, it's a matter of taste, but very pleasing to me. It came with the best action of any bass I've ever owned, (which is only 10, but still) it's just a treat to play. The pickups are powerful and quiet, and the tones you can get with the active preamp cover anything I'll ever need. I do appreciate the bypass feature, just in case I ever have a battery die on a gig. All the hardware seems good quality, the balance is right (no neck dive) and I anticipate no problems. In all, a very good instrument that will keep me happy for years.
