EssentialTension Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Lakland are going to add a '51 style Precision to their catalogue. It will be US only at first, but maybe Skyline later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Oh no. Another bass that I want...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Apparently the pic is of a custom-build Lakland did, so I don't know whether the blocks and matching headstock would end up as standard, especially if it ever makes it to Skyline.

Musicman20 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Quite a cool bass! Im not keen on blocks and binding on a P bass on any type if im honest though, especially the early design. Weirdly enough, I used to want a block/bound Jazz for a long time, and now the market seems saturated in that style, im actually quite happy to see necks without. Lakland seem to love putting blocks and binding on absolutely every bass hahah! Edited August 11, 2010 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm.mcintyre Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Well I can't find a dealer in the UK that stocks any USA Laklands, so I doubt if I'll ever see one of these in the flesh. Anyone know of a dealer with USA Laklands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Looks great, although I do think the Fender RI is one of the finer examples of their range - rumoured to be discontinued though so the timing could be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for that. I'm in Florida for the next few weeks, so hopefully can try a few there, then order what I want when I get back. I have bought a guitar in the USA and flown it back with me, but found it quite a bit of bother for not a great saving (unless you plan to sneak through Customs, which I was too cowardly to try).
