TPJ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Bass is now sold. I'm having a clearout to recoup some costs of a big car service and to try and change tack a bit. I want to get a 10-12 string tapper. I'm shifting this very nice Lakland Skyline 4402. It's very light, plays well and looks nice too. I'd like £600 ono. No trades, just cash. Comes with a soft hard case and ideally would like to hand it over in person as I've seen things broken thanks to couriers. I'll travel a bit for a little juice money. I'm in Wakefield, West Yorks.

Active set flat has more of a midrange bump than passive. The front pickup does a lovely woody P-bass-ish tone. The rear pickup with it's 3-way option gives you very good jazz bass tones, but I found the best tones for me were from blending the front and rear to varying degrees. I wouldn't call any of the active tone "vintage", it's more modern sounding, but the passive tones are very nice. The only thing that would make it even more great would be a passive tone control. The whole bass sounds very even across the range. Hope this helps. Edited July 11, 2012 by TPJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very versatile, very modern sounding bass - and this is as someone who played almost exclusively from the rear pick-up; though it's great to have the ability to dial in the neck J and explore some more options with your sound, as TPJ notes. In the end I opted for an all-Stingray line-up, as it's more primitive. We all know that sound. You won't quite get that here - what you'll get is a lot more refinement, and ultimately more options. In a package which has through-body stringing; is supremely light-weight (by my hefty standards); has a very quick neck; and is generally a superb player, with all the quality you'd expect from Lakland. It's easy to be tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I rate these Laklands very highly...and this is a great example at a very reasonable price! Have a bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_stones Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Really great basses for the price. I had a 44-02 deluxe which I've always regretted trading, but the Warwick I got in exchange was much more suited to the band I was playing in at the time. Really great instruments, you can't go wrong. Best of luck with the sale! P.s. £600 is a steal! Edited July 15, 2012 by chuck_stones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
