The laklands have a slightly different circuit than the fenders. I think the main difference is a different rating on the tone pot.

Looks lovely mate. I had a red bass fetish at one point too. Had a lovely CAR jazz with a matching headstock and bound neck. All went tits up when I discovered p necks though.

I love my Lakland Bob Glaub, I've had several P's over the years and this is the first one that's kept my attention tonally. It also plays like butter and the build quality is tip top. It's literally a tort pick guard away from perfection.

I'd go tokai and upgrade the pickups.

I'm having a Coronado. End of.

Also interested.

Sorely tempted by one of these. I'm not big on active basses though.

Just do it. If you're worried about devaluing keep the original fittings. They can always be put back on! I agree that modding is a right of passage. Just do whatever is going to make you happier to play the thing. I learned a lot modding basses about what I wanted as a player. I've ended up with standard basses as a result but the process was a lot of fun!

Charvel basses are awesome if that's your thing. They're well built rock machines.

(Although I'll make do with the Korean version for about a tenth of the price Lee would have had to pay for the German version ) (Ok, it actually arrived a week ago, but I've been too busy to put it up here.) [/quote] You think Lee Sklar pays for basses?!

I love that snot-burst rickenfaker. Good work on the collection! They are gorgeous.

I like that ^^

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1375266020' post='2158948'] Yes, it also does the Telebass with the humbucker a treat. I'm keeping mine as an occasional rehearsal instrument but I won't gig it again anytime soon. It's unique and dynamic enough for me to keep as a curiosity/possible investment. [/quote] Exactly. They seem to be going up a bit recently. I wonder how the T-45 would fair as a P bass. Its the single pickup in the centre version of the 40

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1375250776' post='2158743'] My T-40 doesn't get out too much. It does indeed do these sounds but it can't do a decent P bass I find. [/quote] There is definitely an element missing from it for a P bass, but lets not forget it doesn't have a pickup in the P bass position. It can do warm and growly and warm and mellow though, just in more of a Gibson way.

Makes me proud to own two of these beasts . Good spot Flat Eric. I just don't understand why anyone plays anything else.

Yammy, RBX or BB

I love the SB-2 it's pickups are ridiculous. For me the skinny neck isn't a good thing though. I like a baseball bat.

They must be right next to each other? Pics?!
