[quote name='shemeckfrac' timestamp='1481036878' post='3189191'] looks great . glwts ! [/quote] Thanks a lot man! [quote name='Norwood' timestamp='1481041443' post='3189250'] Lakland pickups? [/quote] Well, I am not a pickup expert, it doesn't say Lakland on them but as far as I know the bass is all original (except for the pickguard and pickup screws) and they look like that underneath [url="https://www.talkbass.com/attachments/image-jpg.641207/"]https://www.talkbass...age-jpg.641207/[/url] I hope that helps. Thank you for your interest. They should be ''New Lakland Hybrid Split Pickups''.

Wow, great bass! Completely not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it. And great price too. Good luck with the sale!

Well, come and check it out :-) The nut width is 1.5 inch.

Thank you for the info. It is a very lovely bass indeed. I'm sure somebody will be happy :-)

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1480979901' post='3188782'] Hmmm I had my doubts when the original seller assured me it was 8.2lb! Really appreciate you taking the time and I'm sure this'll find a settled home soon. . [/quote] Yeah, that doesn't sound right! No problem at all man, thank you for the kind words. [quote name='Westenra' timestamp='1480981286' post='3188801'] Where are you based? [/quote] Portsmouth, Hampshire.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1480978252' post='3188767'] Cheers for clearing that up. I don't think there was any clarity on the exact weight, would you have a decent/accurate way of weighing it? [/quote] Just checked and on my kitchen scale (accurate to 20g I think) it shows 4.1kg.

Yes, one guy on here listed it and we traded basses - he has my Maruszczyk jazz bass and I got this Lakland - after cleaning, moisturizing and setting up - back for sale as I didn't get along with it as well as I thought I would

Hello, I have for sale lovely Lakland precision bass with jazz neck in black. Bass has been cleaned and set up nicely. Fully working order. The truss rod works fine and the neck is straight. Currently set up with fairly low action. Sounds really cool. Specifications here: [url="https://www.lakland.com/44-64-custom.htm"]https://www.lakland....4-64-custom.htm[/url] I will consider trade/partial trade offers. Photos can be found here: [url="http://s86.photobucket.com/user/P4welG/library/?view=recent&page=1"]http://s86.photobuck...w=recent&page=1[/url] Thank you for looking.

Bump

Very nice, when was it made?

Something else with rosewood finger board caught my attention. Somebody grab this bass quick!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm sure whoever gets it, is going to be pleased.

I can not believe this is still here! Come on, look at the cigarette burn on the headstock... It's so cool

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1480384609' post='3183974'] Wow! What a bass I always say of how Yamaha basses are better than Fender and this surely must be prime example! I've played a late 70's/very early 80's pbass and quality is everywhere in touch, feel and sound. Someone is bound to snap this up asap. [/quote] Thank you. It is true. Obviously, opinions vary and some people would always go to the ones that say ''Fender'' on the headstock. And that is understandable. But it is interesting how many people say that Japanese instruments from 70's were most of the time better than American Fender. And that is not just Yamaha but also Greco, Fernandes, Tokai, Kasuga, Aria... There are a lot of top quality instruments from that era. And the difference in price is noticeable :-)

Now 450GBP Hello everyone, Most of you probably know the quality of Yamaha and Japanese instruments in general, so I won't go into too much detail (as I probably know less than you). Few dings/imperfections can be found on the bottom of the body and the headstock, but nothing major. It is in incredible condition for it's age. The guy I bought it from said it was 1978. It has copper tape shielding inside which makes it very quiet. Doesn't buzz at all. Really cool, warm sound but can be quite bright if needed. Professionally set up, ready to go. Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Pickups: Alnico The neck is slightly smaller than normal Precision. The bass is really easy to play. Almost slippery neck. Weight - 4.2kg/9.2lb I have a spare cardboard box, so postage can be arranged. More photos available on request. I will consider interesting trade offers - Precision of similar quality but with rosewood on the neck preferably. PLEASE NOTE: The Canto bag has one of the zips stuck, the other one still works, so you can easily put the bass in and take it out with no problems.

Looks beautiful. Good luck!
