Hi again Roland Rock, As I said in my post, the contour in the body (the bit that your wrist sits on ) is much deeper than the 'top' therefore the body must be shaped before the top is fitted, and then the 'top' must be steam bent and glued into position.. Otherwise the contour depth would run out of quilted maple top.. Which it doesn't.. At least on mine! And therefore I would consider this to be veneered or laminated.. As opposed to a Les Paul for example or even a hand built guitar or bass build with a slab of quilted maple on the top.. Thanks,, Wal...

Just bought a Lakland 4 94 from Mick, it's a cracker! Arrived very well packed and in within 24 hours (Ireland to Manchester)! A very honest and trusting (and patient!) guy.. I can't recommend him enough.. Cheers Mick.. All the best, Wal...

Nice Bass!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1337892133' post='1667156'] Veneers tend to be around 0.5mm. I'd call that a 'top' or 'facia' [/quote] Thanks for the reply Roland Rock.. I would define a veneer as something that is glued to a profile as apposed to a solid top with a profile? Cheers, Wal...

Does anyone know the thickness of the quilted maple top on the Lakland XX 94 deluxe As apposed to the apparently 'veneered' Skyline 44 02[b]?[/b] Here is a shot of the neck pocket on my '99 4 94 Deluxe: Isn't that a 'veneer? (note: The vertical line on the right is just paint) This top is much thinner than the contour depth on the top.. Therefore it must must be veneered? Cheers, Wal...

Hi guys, Sorry for the vague description! The board is rosewood. Don't know the weight but it is typically heavy.. I bought it from a neighbour in 2006. He (His mum!) bought it new from Manchester.. Is there a data base to date the bass from the serial number? I put a clear scratch plate on it and chrome knobs. The original (which I still have) is black with black knobs.. Will put up some more photos when I get chance.. Cheers...

Hi Mick, Don't think my PM got to you so posting here instead. As I said, I'm very interested in the bass but just noticed in your photos that the position markers don't appear to be in the centre of the A and D strings.. Is this just the angle the photos were taken at? How do they line up nearer the nut? And the E and G strings more or less the same distance from the fretboard edges? Please could you post more photos of the fretboard, Thanks again, Wal...

OK thanks Mick, Could you give me a few more details about the bass.. Action, fret wear etc.. Maybe via my email address? Cheers, Wal...
