THe Bob Glaub is a really nice sounding bass. Plays just like a Precision, and has more of an oomph in the sound. It has a Lindy Fralin pickup in it. Thats it really. I saw this 10 year old kid come into a local music store two weeks ago, trying to decide between a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub and Fender American P-bass. His dad shelled out 1000 there on the spot for the Lakland. I hate spoiled kids. Everyone in the suburb I'm from has parents that are willing to buy them an Ampeg Stack or Mesa Boogie Half Stak. I pride myself on the fact I've worked and saved for each piece of gear I've bought.

Okay, we're in danger. Reminder that I'll leave up for a while before this thread goes away:

Don't you guys think it's better to keep this focused on Ernie Ball Musicman basses, considering who hosts the forum?

I'm willing to listen to arguments for/against, but there are other forums for general bass discussion.

Unless Ernie Ball goes into the landscaping business, I think landscaping would be an okay topic, Mr Juan Guitarrez.

In regards to the original thread...

Bob Glaub with a Joe Osbourne neck a.k.a. P-Bass with a J.Bass neck would probably be a good axe to have in the arsenal BUT follow this Fisher Price train of thought:

Leo made the P Bass
then upgraded with the J bass
so a P with J neck is the culmination of the two....
BUT then Leo made the STINGRAY which bettered his previous designs (the P & J)... then Sterling made the Sterling which bettered the Stingray and then along came the BONGO and the new dawn has begun!!!!
So I'm sure a Fender copy would be an ok bass to play , but why??

:D

I like them. A lot.

When I got my Stingray, I was really after a Precision bass. I tried upwards of thirty different Fenders before I found one I really liked. Then I tried a Bob Glaub, which blew them all away. It also blew away virtually every other high-end bass I tried.

Ultimately, it came down to a choice between my Ernie Ball Stingray, a pre-EB cutlass II and the Bob Glaub.

That pretty much answers your question.
