Frequently Asked Questions
The Lakland has a slightly warmer, more vintage character; the Fender is generally brighter and more modern sounding. Both are excellent, but the Lakland leans towards a smoother, more rounded tone.
Not at all; it provides a different feel – more immediate and responsive – and it’s a common and well-respected construction method that contributes to the bass’s snappy attack.
Absolutely, the strings are standard size and easily replaceable. For a more aggressive funk style, stick with the included .045-.100; a lighter .040-.090 would be ideal for a smoother, more mellow tone.
