Good golly do I love this bass.
I bought this bass about 8 months ago, and it quickly became the workhorse of my collection. It's nice and punchy with both pick-ups all the way off, and soloing the precision pick-up gives a fantastic classic p-bass tone (I'm playing it right now and that's what compelled me to take a pause and write this review). The build quality is as good as any American made instrument I've played - right there with my EBMM Stingray. The neck has the perfect finish and plays fast and smooth. The fretwork is perfect. The photos don't do it justice - the candy apple red is beautiful in person. The hipshot tuners stay in tune really well, as anyone who has used them knows.
I honestly don't have a single complaint about this bass and can't say enough good things about it. It probably won't be my last Lakland purchase. Shoutout to the folks at Sweetwater who set it up perfectly before shipping as well.
Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom PJ with Ash body
I have been playing now for 35+ years and have had a lot of Bass guitars in my time from Alembic`s to Warrior and Fender and Rickenbacker. The one thing I have found is that you will never find the perfect Bass you will always want to change something. So I focus more on build quality and this bass is every bit as good as an American Fender Bass.
The neck on this bass is one of the most comfortable I have played in a long time I like the fact that this 44-64 model has no binding on the fretboard. The Laurel Fingerboard if very much the same as Indian Rosewood in fact if you were not told it was not Rosewood you would`nt even know. The fit and finish are top notch and it fits in a Fender Deluxe case like a glove. This is a well balanced and comfortable playing Bass you wont be disappointed by the play-ability of this instrument.
Now to the only real downside to this bass.( NO REAL BOTTOM END) But that does not mean this Bass does`nt sound good. I was able to get that Kansas Wayward Son sound with little to know effort at all, I was also able to get a really close resemblance to the old Rickenbacker 4001 sound but as we all know Ric`s have no bottom end either so you will have to compensate with your amps eq settings.
To me that is not a deal breaker the fit ,finish and play-ability are all more important. As for tone that`s what your amp`s EQ is there for. And like I was told by a Luthier a long time ago you put a high end set of pickup`s in any guitar you can turn a $1000.00 guitar into a $1500.00 in a matter of 30 minutes. The build quality and how the instrument feels in your hands is more important.
So for what it`s worth the Bass is very treble sounding but plays great I will use my EQ and in time throw in a set of high end pickups and feel comfortable knowing this Bass will alway`s feel great in my hands.
