funkle Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Hi all I literally just got this a couple of days ago but after trying it out for a few hours it's clear I am not compatible with the Lakland 5 string neck. The B string and sounds from it are great though! I just need something with a narrower nut and string spacing. It's absolutely mint, strings still fresh from the previous seller (they look like D'Addarios), and the bass is in good working order. Gorgeous black finish and pleasant grain and feel to the neck. I replaced the battery as the one it arrived with was out of date. It's pretty marn minty. I have borrowed a pic of a the same model/colour until I can get some more pics up. I beg forgiveness of the poster who I nicked it from! Weight ~ 9lbs from my bathroom scale. Will ship in an older but still perfectly workable hard case.

gillento Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I don't seem to find the original ad, but I seem to recall that the preamp might have been changed, or am I completely wrong? Where was it made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) The original seller has been kind enough to allow me to use his photos. Let's see if this works...
