Great P-Bass

I use it with flatwound strings and it does a great job of producing that 60-s legendary Motown sound. Also great for funky, disco and rock stuff.

"I played all of Wasting Light on a Lakland [Bob Glaub Signature]. We tried a few different basses, but we found the sound that worked best. We’d change the EQ to get the bass to fit in the mix. I love Lakland basses, and I’m using them on tour for drop-D tunings right now. But I’m a bit more comfortable playing Fender basses, so I’ve gone back to playing those for most of the set."
