Hi

I am selling my Lakland Darryl Jones 5. It has the White Pearl finish with matching headstock, white scratchplate and maple block-and-bound neck.

This bass was made in 2008. I bought it from lowregisterhead in 2011 and it has been a superb workhorse. The neck is fast and easy to play and I have only had to have it set up once in 5 years; it is solid with clear notes throughout and no buzzing with a low/medium action.

It is in very good condition, there are 3 or 4 tiny marks on the back but you have to look very closely indeed. The neck is starting to age nicely and a flame figure is coming through the maple grain.

The bass has a John East custom preamp fitted by Martin Peterson at The Gallery. It is a Deluxe spec pre and the bass has been fitted with a side jack. So you have active/passive switch, bass/midsweep/treble controls, pan, master vol, flat switch and a passive tone control or VTC.

It is strung with steel roundwounds 45-130 which are worn in but not dead. Strap pins are Schallers. Tuners are Hipshot Ultralites.

Weight just over 9lbs, perfectly balanced mid-weight bass.

I can do the bass for £900 with an unused Ritter soft case as pictured (it's a case meant for an acoustic bass but does the job).
Or £850 on its own without the case.

It is pickup only, located at a lockup in Staples Corner, N London. Or could meet in Finchley N3.

My old bass! I still have his older black sparkle brother, which gets gigged regularly. Was it really 5 years ago?? I'm very tempted to buy it back from you, but I'm currently trying to shift a couple of others... :huh: GLWTS Ben!
