No, they are Lakland’s own brand

I think this used to be mine (though it had a black pick-up cover on the J pickup?).  If it was mine, it's an absolutely staggeringly good bass.  Undoubtedly, the finest Fender type necks I've played - the J necks are super-slender and feel fabulous in the hand.  One of Basschat's finest sellers too!

You're not thinking about the one I bought off you are you @three?

Don’t think its the same bass Los - I bought this one from Basschater Quatschacher, who had ordered it directly from Lakland.

Nope. I specced this and ordered from Lakland. Pickup cover was sprayed with the same paint as the body at my request to make it look more like a regular P. 
 

I sold it to @Platypus. I note it was in The Gallery for a while too.

 

I’ve got a clip of it with these strings on (presuming they are the ones I sold it with).

Oh and when Jon Shuker was setting it up with these strings, he measured:

37.5mm nut

22mm 1st

24.25mm 12th

Thanks for this - I looked pretty closely at the grain pattern on the back of the head and it looked the same (maybe close in terms of blanks?) I notice subsequently that mine had the longer posts on the tuners. Still, a beautiful bass (I like the pickup spray idea) and first class seller

So good to have tone clips! Sounds amazing, and nice playing @Quatschmacher

Thanks. (I really must try and work that piano part up into a full piece at some point.) It is a very nice bass. I just realised that I just wanted a straight P bass instead and get a J for the back pickup thing.
