Best Lakland review I’ve seen yet!
That’s my ideal bass. I wish they made more color options.
Thank you for this very good video!
Wow ,this sounds sooo good!
I love Lakland basses! Their neck shape and feel is the best of anything I have tried.
Peter Teipe amen to that bro!!! Totally agree. The best.
Great playing man! Fist time on this channel. Love your content, thank you for making these videos for all of us!
I value and appreciate your kind words. Welcome to the channel.
really enjoy all your reviews.
Thanks so much!
Considering buying one....really helpful video. Thanks
michael tomazou awesome!! It’s a great bass.
I love the sound of the bridge humbucker. Reminds me of a little less agressive sting ray tone. Great review bruh!
T.J. Meechan thank you my man!!!
Just picked up a black 5, 55 02 and just learned that I has 4 mid range selectors in the preamp that so cool love that bass
Damnnnnnnn! I'm absolutely blown away by this bass. I need one 😍
Noah Houghton bro! Same here!!
Nice video. Im a stingray fan and I've owned two lakland skylines, I regreted selling and I just picked another one Just like this one, in translucent natural. Beautiful thing, great feel playing, versatile tones, its a wonderful Bass, no doubt.
I have literally the same bass, 44-02 deluxe cherryburst, rosewood fretboard. I really dig it, I have a 44-01 and like it also. Mine never gets lost is the mix, I like both basses. Of course, I like precision styles also, but the necks on the Laklands play so nice with the plecked fretboards, very smooth. I'll never sell mine, I dig Laklands. Nice video, cheers !!
I’m with ya!!
Had to come back to this, got my 2nd black and maple 5502 coming! Should be here tomorrow! Cheers from SWFL homie!!
Congratulations!!
I want this bass and im saving up for it. The only thing i dont like is that i like the poles showing on the pickups.
Thank you for helping take my mind off the global situation. As a stingray player myself I do like the versatility of the Skyline. Very well informed video Stay safe my friend!!
Mistercota thank you very much sir and you too! Everything is going to be fine.
I played one of these recently at Sweetwater (kicking myself that I didn't buy it then) and the necks on these basses are incredible. Very resonant acoustically too. I honestly couldn't put it down. I wish they had a couple other colors but the cherry sunburst over the flamed maple is incredible (the one I played was a satin finish body and it looked and felt wonderful). Definitely picking one of these up in the future.
Thanks for explaining that switch, I knew it did something with the humbucker and coil splitting but I never thought of it as being a 2 position bridge position jazz bass. Definitely makes it more lucrative knowing that.
It’s such an awesome bass, man. Wish I had one!
Nice bass I have the 5string. I had them to put rose wood neck on it .and the inlay dotes on it. now I see they putting it on that model now. lol
bassman51able nice!!
That's a great sounding instrument. There is a guy on UA-cam that does covers and uses that same pickup configuration. I have been on the lookout for a Harley Benton Enhanced MP5. It has a reverse P pickup and musicman configuration.
Jason Cothran that sounds like a sweet bass, bro!!
Lakland makes fantastic instruments. I'll own one someday.
Kevin Toole absolutely bro!! I hope to as well.
I maybe wrong but on Sweetwater they say the pickups are USA made. That’s Lakland pickups. They sound great!
I wonder how I missed this video. This is one crisp sounding bass.
Christian Joseph Allbee yeah man. They’re the best.
Nice channel bro, subbed!
Thanks so much!
The Bass and vid. Thumbs up.
Thank you!
Man, that does sound great. I had a Schecter Stiletto Elite 5-er that was basically the same color.
bflo1000 also a great bass!!
@@RumblinMan For a mid-priced instrument, it's about as good a value as you can get. You can find them for $350 to $400 used.
Sounds amazing!!
Could you demo a 44-01?
For the record, nothing wrong with the Skyline line... I absolutely love my Skyline Duck Dunn.. it sounds monstrous
Robert Hart I’d love to review a 44-01 if I can get my hands on one!
Great demo thanks a lots mate...♡♡☆☆
Bytheway , What s the make of their pickups....
Cheers
Thanks so much! The pickups are Lakland pickups.
Had a custom lefty 55-94 built for me back when I was a teenager in 2000. I sold it 10 years ago and have regretted it ever since. Plan on buying another soon.
Sounds like a sweet bass!
You are good and that tone is perfect...
Thanks so much!!
Killer basses and damn dude, what a beard!!!
Trevor Hickey TH!!!! Long time no chat brother!! Hope you’re well. I’m working on the beard man.
where did you learn how to Slap & Pop sounds awesome
Groovy man
Awesome playing! I'll always have a soft spot for Lakland basses. The MM/J pickup combination is just so versatile, and Lakland just got this formular perfectly right and made it popular. Also, the body and neck shape is really comfortable and a pleasure to play, but still keeps lots of Fender/Music Man vibes. The only thing that's missing in my opinion is a tone blend in passive mode. And I'd add a pickguard, but those are available after market. And a tone blend is an easy mod I guess. The Skyline series is an awesome value. I almost bought one a couple of years ago, but I found a very similar bass instead: A Clover Apeiron H.5, a modern Jazz Bass with a humbucker on the bridge, the awesome TheHybrid set by Delano. It's similar to a Sandberg TM, but imho better. It nails the vintage Jazz Bass sound, comes very close to a vintage StingRay, but it can only get as close to a P as a vintage Jazz neck pickup can. And in StingRay mode, both pickups don't blend as nicely as on a Lakland. If something bad would ever happen to my Clover, I'd probably get a Lakland 55-02.
Thank you for the kind words. I agree that active basses should still have a tone knob. Thats something I like about Sire’s basses. They have a tone that you can use in north active and passive modes.
I'm really tempted to get the 5 string version of this bass. Especially since it's 35 in scale length
It’s a wonderful bass. I highly recommend doing so.
Great review. Thanks 1 thing. The B3N isn’t an usb interface as the B3 was, unfortunately
iVolver I have heard that. What a bummer.
Handy video. Been eyeballing this bass. You have a top groove going. Curious how long you have playing bass?
Thanks so much!! I’ve been playing 20 years give or take. But I also play guitar, so I’ve never reached full master level at either.
@@RumblinMan Thankee for answering my query. I find most musicians fairly humble in their abilities.
I would like to get a 55 02.
Hey Rumblin man. Thanks for doing this tone demo. I'm considering one of these basses. It's really hard to find a good tone demo with good information. Just people giving their thoughts on what they think it is or has. Bad. The one thing I have noticed is I can't find a tone demo of the dip switches. I know this video is 4 years old. Would this idea be possibly in your wheelhouse to consider?
As a side note. How have you been doing otherwise?!? I still have the Sabre. Played it yesterday. That thing is a beautiful beast.
Hey Rick, good to hear from you. This bass was on loan so unfortunately I can’t do another demo of it. But I agree that reviewers should be more thorough.
@@RumblinMan a bass friend sent his to me to try out. It's the skyline 55-02. It's a cool sounding bass. I like it a lot. When you engage the preamp. It's really hot. Needs some kind of power adjustment when you turn it on. Because when you engage from active to passive. Holy smokes. Hang on to your hat. 💨whoosh. There it went. 😉👍Blessings 🙏❤️😊
Have you ever tried playing a G&L L-2000? The L-2000 and the Lakland 44-02 / 4-94 are often regarded as some of the most versatile basses, and they're also my two favorite bass designs of all time.
I haven’t tried G&L, but I’d definitely like to!
My kind of bass player, a great groove player....
That’s a huge encouragement. THANK YOU.
what is your setting on zoom B3 favourite sound with lakland and which one setting is used inside the presentation ?Br
I usually go with the GK amp and sometimes a compressor.
@@RumblinMan Thanks, your presentation inspires me to buy Lakland 44-02. Great Review and great sound from ZOOM B3. Now I’m saving money to buy Lakland by mid-summer.
@@danijelbrezec4570 great choice my friend!!
I have this prototype 4 string it’s amazing Bartolini electronics quatersawn neck I toured with this really nice and loud perfect frets I would tell anyone this is a great bass check them out
Ive been playing bass and singing Lead/ Geddy Lee among many others since 1981.
But want to expand my bass playing to slap & pop who do you recommend on you tube or videos to buy? You can see some of my videos on you tube. Type in Steve Nordstedt sings and plays. A few will come up.
HELP!!! Where is the serial number is located? I am planning to buy a second hand, but I just could't find the serial number on the instrument. Thanks for helping!!!
Top side of headstock
New subscriber! Great review Sir. I am a new player at 53. I have a Squire 60's Classic Vibe Squire P bass. I have been taking lessons for three months and loving it! I am looking hard at Laklands. I am most interested in playing 70's and 80's Rock. Would you recommend this bass over the 44-64 GZ?
I love Lakland, but I would recommend any bass in the world over the 44-64 GZ… because it was those terrible EMG pickups. But the Skyline 44-64 PJ Custom, with the Lakland pickups, is one of the best basses I’ve ever played.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I’ve only been playing bass (and banjo) for the past three months. I will
Do more research in this and take your feedback to my Sweetwater sales engineer. Thank you friend!
@@mattygunn3852 for sure! Best of wishes.
If I wanted to go use in learning to play 70’s and 80’s rock, would you recommend this or another bass? Looking at a 4-string in the $1500-$2000 range? I’m REALLY looking at the Lakelands. Thanks I much Ramblin! And man, awesome playing!!!
@@mattygunn3852 I would go with either the Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom PJ, or the Skyline DJ-4. Highly versatile basses that are great for rock, and should fit within your budget. Passive and not complicated to use.
I left one out. The Gibson Grabber G3 is my top pick in a four-string category. Type in Gibson Grabber G3. You will wonder why Gibson has not leveraged the buck and a half on all of their basses. I wish I could buy that electronics package for a modern custom. All that and no battery. Used between 1400 and 1500 and that is sure to go up.
I think this is a good studio bass. I have had the 55-01 and the 55-02. The 55-01 with a maple fretboard is better live while the 55-02 with a maple fretboard is a more docile creature with more Motownish sound and very much suited for studio work but I would not bring it to a gunfight.
Personally, I’d rather own one each of Fender P-bass and jazz. In my experience, being a former owner myself, the Laklands sound awesome and are magnificent instruments in terms of build and quality- make no mistake about it. But they lack a certain something that my ears are looking for. But that’s just me though.
Is it also possible to set the pickups in passive mode?
Some of Lakland’s basses have an active/passive switch, but I don’t think this one does. For what you’re looking for, I REALLY recommend checking out Sire.
Yes, if you pull the volume knob up, it goes to passive. It'll run without a battery like that or if the battery fails, the eq doesn't work in passive but the pup blend knob and coil tap for the humbucker do. It doesn't sound any better passive, it's more of a failsafe in my opinion
Sweetness..
What a beautie! The guitar of course hahaha
Jim Lahey hahaha!
G+L 2000 !
Video conclusion is "Only P Bass can sound like a P Bass" ;) I agree with %100.
Haldun Karaman yep! Nothing can accurately emulated. There’s something about that split coil pickup that sounds very unique. The Lakland comes close enough to trick the common person, but not a discerning bassist.
@@RumblinMan I'm a p bass guy. But 44-02 is very good bass also. I like your gear videos. Good job. Keep going man👍😉
Haldun Karaman thanks so much bro!!!!!! Yeah, nothing can really beat a P!
It sounds great by itself and when recording....play it live with a band and it gets lost in the mix......I returned my 55-94
I’m sorry to hear that, man!! Bummer. I have a friend who plays one on big stages with a band and his tone always sounds huge. I wonder if it has to do with what he’s running it through.
Wow, someone who actually used a Bass Guitar to play BASS! Imagine That!
Thanks, RM, for Not subjecting me to another mindlessl noodlefest to be indured in order to discover the sonic qualities of the instrument. One can walk away from your video KNOWING how That bass would sound IN A REALISTIC CONTEXT. Carry on Rumble, you can MAN!
I REALLY appreciate this comment.
In Bible it is said that if you want to give a gift to God give the best you have!!!
So i guess made in China bass will not work! unless this is the best you have.
I have old Warwick Vampyre Dark Lord made in Germany bass and i think it is the best bass for me !!! ( unfortionaly there is new version with the same name made in China but it has nothing to do with old version made in Germany!!!)
Old version was made with exotic woods and very high quality craftment !!!
Perfect bass to hail God for me!!!
What is your perfect bass to hail God?!!
ⰔⰎⰑⰂⰑⰀⰎⰎⰀⰘⰑⰂⰑ probably this one in a five string!
@@RumblinMan I see
Not the most versatile.
Then what is?
@@RumblinMan The MTD Saratoga. The jazz bass with it's pickup placement has been used for everything. Don't get me wrong because I had the 44-01and it was sweet and I played it at my 40th anniversary. I also have had the 55-01 and the 55-02. The 55-02 and 44-02 need an Audere preamp and that will make your claim stick. Otherwise, they are only good for Motown. Love, peace, and happiness.
@@rmccain99 very interesting viewpoint. I personally haven’t tried anything that beat this in versatility. The Saratoga looks like an amazing bass! But it doesn’t appear to have that bridge humbucker that can split two ways. I’d love to try one out sometime though.
