The consummate studio cat, Bob Glaub’s body of work embraces blues, folk, pop, country, jazz, and rock and permutations thereof.

 

His astounding list of record credits span Patti Smith, Rod Stewart, Nicolette Larson, Gladys Knight, Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne, Stevie Nicks, Jon Bon Jovi, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Natalie Merchant, Donna Summer, Bob Seger, Eddie Money, John Fogerty, CSN &Y, Neil Diamond, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Newman, Lucinda Williams, and Carole King to cite a very very select few.

 

Producers and artists depend on Glaub because he delivers exactly what is needed as a supportive player – a warm tone, melodic interplay, and pocket grooves.  Lakland created a Bob Glaub signature bass which is modeled after his 1964 Fender Precision.

“Somebody get me a cheeseburger….”

 

Lonnie Turner was a founding member of the Steve Miller Band from their humble beginnings as a Bay Area psychedelic blues-rock ensemble to their emergence as a 1970s hit-making, arena filling, platinum- album selling machine that could rock with the best of them!

 

Whereas many bassists accompanying a guitar icon tend to play it safe on the bottom end, Turner was particularly adept working the upper and lower registers with equal dexterity and creativity, and he was a master pocket player.

 

Turner, who passed in 2013, was primarily a Fender player. He switched to a prototype 1976 Fender Music Man bass with a deep resonance which he tempered by fluid finger-picking near the bridge of the instrument.

 

An accomplished backing vocalist, Lonnie also shined on albums with Dave Mason, Eddie Money, Albert King, Tommy Tutone, and Terry & the Pirates.
