Memphis bass player “Duck” Dunn, who played bass in the Blues Brothers movie and has played for almost all legendary blues musicians, has his own signature bass with Lakland. The Lakland Duck Dunn Signature Bass serie has two models US Made and Skyline.
Both models are very similar, the things that change are wood parts, tuners and nut. US Made features bone nut, quartersawn maple with graphite reinforcement bars neck, alder or swamp ash (optional) body, birdseye maple/east Indian rosewood fretboard and hipshot open back reverse gear or hipshot d-tuner (optional) tuners. Skyline model features delrin nut, flat-sawn maple neck, ash body, rosewood fretboard, and hipshot licensed or hipshot d-tuner (optional) tuners.
Both models’ features are Fralin split-coil humbucker or Dark Star (optional) pickups, volume and tone controls, Lakland dual design bridge and 34″ scale length.
Lakland Duck Dunn Skyline model and Lakland Duck Dunn US Made model prices are different depending on the features (4 or 5 strings, finishes, …) but prices start at $1,099.
Although that looks like a 55-94 in the above pic and NOT the Dunn Sig, Lakland improved on the tried and true design of Fender’s Precision with Duck’s specs. You already know the sound, it’s your hands around that slimmed down neck that’ll impress you. A in every way, Dan L. scores big (again) with this model…!
