Sibob Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) So on Saturday just gone, i travelled down to Southapmton to pick up this beauty from ShaunB (very nice chap indeed!) and his lovely wife Mandy. Its a Skyline 44-02 Deluxe in Cherryburst with Maple fingerboard. Heres some rubbish pictures that i took, followed by some great pics that Shaun took [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] I even got to use it that night!

OutToPlayJazz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Lovely looking bass, Si! Did the tatoos come with it at no extra cost? How do those play? Like higher quality jazzes? (OTPJ=Lakland Noob!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OTPJ=Lakland Noob!)[/quote] Ha, the Tattoo came seperately unfortunately and at a rather vast cost lol This particular Lakland i wouldn't liken to a Jazz, even after my rather limited playing of it (our gigs tent to be high-octane, so I'm not really paying attention to the nuances of the bass ) I mean, its got a humbucker and is active, so i would say it leans more towards the MM side of things. But it does very much seem to have its own character! I'm a Lakland noob to, so maybe i'll do a review after a month of gigs or something. Having said that, even after that one gig, and before putting my own strings on it etc, i'm more happy then i was with my previous Fender Jazz Deluxe, so hey!

(OTPJ=Lakland Noob!)[/quote] I'd liken my 44-02 to something like a cross between a Sterling and a Jazz. It really has it's own character and the toggel switch enables a huge tonal pallette ( ) which can everything from Jazz to P to MM and lots of other sounds of its own that are amazing for slapping. The neck is slightly chunkier than a Jazz at 1.6" at the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
