PMd.

The question about the hardware was a valid one, since you had just stated a change in hardware colour to black by a previous owner, along with a link to the original ACG web page spec. Other brands of black hardware are available so how are BC members to know what has been fitted? You also posted the previous owner’s sale thread, in which it states that there is buckle rash and a dent, so again it was a valid question. I don’t understand how valid questions on a sale thread for a bass costing £900 constitutes a “crap” of your thread? i am not a time waster as my feedback on BC will show. I was actually genuinely interested in buying this bass, but I’m sure I’ll find something suitable from a less rude member.

Hi What brand is the later black hardware? The original chrome bridge was hipshot and chrome gotoh tuners. You also state that it has only light swirling and no dents or scratches but the previous owner stated that it had belt buckle rash and a dent, have you repaired this?

Hi do you still have the Ed Friedland book please?

Yes I can get a cost for that. Where are you based?

Just PMd you.

Hi Based on the Wirral between Liverpool and Chester.

Unit is in used condition with some scratches, see photos. Supplied with correct spec boxed replacement power supply by RAAD. Reprinted Boss manual in plastic sleeve. Hard case to keep it all together safely. Prefer cash on collection. Thanks for looking.

I've decided I want to keep it, as it's such a nice bass. Thanks to all for their comments and parting-out enquiries.

SOLD elsewhere.

Thanks, I’m off to Greece on holiday tomorrow for a week so will sort something when I get back.

Thanks Raslee, I’ll come back to you if I do part it out.

Thanks bubinga5. Parting it out is an option definitely, but if someone wants it complete, then now’s the time to get in touch. 😀

No love so far? Offers invited on this versatile bass assembled using good quality components. PM me. If folks are not interested in the complete bass I could part it out.

Hi This bass started life as an all black Lakland Skyline Korean DJ 4 string, rosewood board. I bought it off an Italian guy in London and he showed me a video of him playing it in a band on a cable tv show in London. He’d then changed the body to a great quality 2 piece tobacco burst jazz style and added EMG pickups and pre amp. I kept the pups but swapped the pre for a John East J Retro Deluxe, fitted by John himself while I waited. So now it is a great quality parts bass and was my main gigging bass for 4 years. A few marks here and there but it’s in good nick. SPEC: Original Lakland DJ Skyline neck with signature logo , tuners and bridge  Emg pups  East preamp 9v 2 piece tobacco burst jazz body I’ve added the thumb rest and rear battery compartment. The screw holes next to the bridge are from when I had a Roland GK3B synth pickup fitted. Comes with a used black ABS hard case. I’m in Wirral, NW England. Thanks for looking.

Yes I’ve seen ones like that, it’s good to have them extra option I think, for when you need it.

Hi I’m selling my gigging rig as I’m going down the pre/power amp route. This 550 Touring combo was made in UK. It has a valve driven preamp and puts out 600w rms into 4 ohms when using the internal speakers plus the 8 ohm 300w ext ABM speaker, about half that if using just the internal 8 ohm speakers. Simple passive EQ controls with frequency shift switches for bass and middle, a bright switch and a mute switch. Pre/post DI option, effects send and return with inputs for passive and active basses.Weight 37kg. Serviced by Dave Lunt in Stockport at Xmas 2017. Ext cab is a lightweight 15 inch ABM. Cosmetically the combo and cab have scuffs and nicks to the tolex, but it is a robust and reliable set up and has never let me down, gigged 2-3 times per month. Cash on collection only, I live in Wirral NW England. I have feedback on here.
