I've only recently picked this up in a trade, in looking for a lightweight bass as a more conventional looking option to my Status I thought I'd give this a go. Unfortunately we haven't bonded, the sound is awesome but I guess I'm too used to Fender, Status or MM type bases. The bass is only a few weeks old, is in excellent condition and is set up with a nice low action. Weight is around the 8lb mark by my bathroom scales and headstock dive seems minimal to me (3'' suede strap) It also comes with (the expensive) Epiphone JC hard shell case, which is similarly in excellent nick. In terms of trades I'd look at anything Fenderish Jazz, MM SUB or G&L Tribute as long as it's sub 9lb and in good condition. I'd rather not post at this point as I don't have a box hanging about that will accommodate the HSC! But I will entertain a sub 50 mile meet up.

I'll give it one last bump for now....

Very nice, if only my Lakky would sell......c'est la vie.

Bumpy wumpy

Hope these are like busses Will and another one comes along in 5 minutes....

Cheers BEM and a bump for a wintery bank holiday weekend!

I've told Daughter2, not to even think about getting married for another 10 years lol.

Cheers Karl, it's a great bass and as you said, a lot of bass for the money, but just not for me I fear. Still, not in a mad rush and it might still do another gig or two with me before it goes to a new owner.

Really nice Tom, would suit me down t'ground.....unfortunately the Daughter's upcoming wedding has wiped me out.

I only picked this up a couple of weeks back from stand up geezer Karlfer of this parish. It's a totally stock 2008 Lakland 44-01, one of the last made before moving production from South Korea to Indonesia. I was looking for a Jazz a Like back up bass and ended up getting this and a new G&L Tribute JB-2, with a view of keeping one that suited best. I've done a couple of gigs with the 44-01 and find the Tribby is better suited to my needs sound wise for the 60s band stuff (it's better on the 80s band stuff though, but Ive got the basses covered sufficiently there). It's in good condition for an 8 year old bass with just a few minor dings and surface scratches but no nasty chips or gouges as can be seen in the pics. It's strung with medium gauge flats with lots of life left in em. I'm looking for £340 collected (or close meet up - South Yorkshire area) as a straight sale. I will post, but no OHSC for this so costs/packing would need to be discussed. I will entertain trade offers but have put a higher value of £375 for trade purposes, passive 4 stringers only please......preferably some kind of Fenderish Jazz or maybe a Tribby L2000 at a push. Oh, and for those weight fanatics like myself, the bass comes in at 8lb 15oz.......

:-O

I've been looking for a 4 string version of this for like, forever.....good luck with the sale Marcus

That's a great price, wish you were a bit closer. Please don't tell me it's less than 9lbs or I'll cry! Can't see this hanging about for long.

It's on hold Karlfer otherwise I'd have it!

I used to have one of these, same colour, Number 00264. It was a sublime Jazz Bass, total quality.

A mid weekend bumpola

OMG....my YOB and month of Birth Precision. I didn't see this, I didn't see this, Ididnt see this............

Cheers Walshy, she may be artificially aged but she's still a peach! If you find yourself unable to resist let me know, me, the wife and our mental cocker (Meg) are looking for an excuse to spend a few hours in Alnmouth and tromping the sands in Druridge Bay in the next couple of weeks!
