Helge L Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Hi! I am currently drooling on a Lakland Skyline Series 44-02. Is this an ok bass for blues/countryrock or is it mostly a bass for modern/slap etc. I need some opinions from you who have tried the bass, and of course from you who own and plays it regulary. reg.

jeremy c Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I've tried that bass. It would be good for any kind of music. Free download of my cd!.
Rocky McDougall Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 +1 what Jeremy said. Almost ALL basses are suitable for any type of music. The bass player is the critical component.

Helge L Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 Thanks! What a relief! I was afraid someone would say that this bass was originally designed for modern music and slapping. Sure I know that it is the bassist and his fingers that makes the sound of a bass. Maybe I'll let the GAS become predominant......

1111000 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Laklands definitely aren't limited to the "modern sound". Fenders are cheapers and arguably as good; check out the Japanese-crafted line. Good stuff.

Tom Capasso Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I agree that it would be good for anything. They do have basses with Chi-Sonic pickups that might be interesting for blues.

Rocky I've played blues gigs on my Kubicki X-Factor! Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make!
... Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 A BC Rich Beast bass would be fine for blues gigs. You might get strange looks but it would sound fine. All electric bass guitars can work for all popular styles of music. The important part is the person making the notes go and the tone they choose to use.
_Sweet Willie_ Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I've played blues gigs on my Kubicki X-Factor! I do like that Kubicki! And Wally sure does make the blues go with that thing!

natobasso Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 +1. Bass is key. ---- Warmoth custom 4 string * Quilted maple top/mahogany * Maple neck, ebony board * Audere preamp; Lindy Fralin pickups * Badass bridge; Hipshot tuners. Thx Joe Mergens at Mojotone.
