As long as you still have the bass then all is good and worst case you have £30 for your trouble.

Just swapped my Lakland for Rich's NS Design Wav 4 Radius. What a gent! Lovely bass in great condition and great comms throughout. Note to self though. Check how many car parks there are in one street next time!

Thanks for the support. I’m a bit surprised too. Not even sure you could buy a new one in the uk now. Might be the weight. Not desperate though so happy to leave it out there. Offers and trades welcome. -
Have a hankering for a p-bass as I’ve not owned a ‘real’ one or maybe a 500w + rated 4x10 cab, but I’ll consider anything really. The Lakland just doesn’t get played.

4.4 kg on the bathroom scales for those who have asked.

NOW £675. Definitely interested in trades so try me. A Fantastic as new condition Lakland 55-01 Bass in Cream finish, the build quality is excellent ! and the Bartolini Set up sounds great, coupled with the graphite reinforced neck and Pleck'd fretwork this bass plays superbly and is very stable. Strung with a newish set of Rotosounds (lightish gauge), it really is in amazing condition. Ive looked all over it and all I can find are some light scratches at the top of the headstock (pictured). Another failed 5 string experiment for me. I bought this to replace a 5 string Warwick corvette as I was convinced the wider neck would stop my fingers getting tangled, and it did to an extent, but the truth is, I don't play it because I'm too much of a 4 string player to change my ways now. I’ll not post as I've nothing to pack it in - however I'd be happy to drive within an hour. I might be open to trades, I've a hankering for a P with flats for example (4 string of course) but won't be adding any cash to a deal. The Skyline Series basses are made in Indonesia and then shipped to Laklands facility in Chicago for the Pleck setup and final inspection so they really are first class instruments! From the Lakland Website : SKYLINE SERIES 55-01 Versatility with high-end features! The 55-01 utilizes the classic Lakland body shape with a pair of Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soap bar pickups and an MK-1 onboard, 3-band buffered, active preamp. You can dial in an amazing variety of tones, from modern slap, to warm fingerstyle to aggressive picked tones. The 35″ scale neck is fast and smooth providing the killer B sound Lakland 5’s are famous for.

Ah but you forget the ‘level 42’ connection. That the bass comes in a box that was sent to someone with the same name as the brother of the bass player out of level 42! There’s a grand or so right there!

Funk Shed. TBH we play more soul than funk, but not when we started. The ‘shed’ bit was a reference to drummers I think..something about sounding like they’re building a shed. It was a long time ago and I was very, very drunk.

Nice, good luck!

Taking a slightly different approach, some multi-fx's and preamp pedals will act as digital interfaces (plus some will have a headphone out) so if he wanted to get a more versatile and interesting setup without getting involved with DAW software, that could be an option. You can probably pick a reasonable multi-fx second hand for the price of the Scarlett interface.

I have an 87 that I think is the transitional model. Same colour as this, bullet truss rod, but bridge with built in foam mute system, chrome battery cover and 4 bolt neck plate. -
Played here last year. Great gig, so looking forward to this one

I bought a beautiful American pro jazz two or three years ago but have never really bonded with it. Never tried a p bass though and often wonder whether I should. Think the issue with the jazz is ergonomics and narrower string spacing.
-
Enjoyed it Paul. Well played sir and lovely thunderbird. I didn’t notice any mistakes and I’m certain the regular punters wouldn’t! Not with their ears bleeding like that. He does like to play loud your guitarist!

I’m planning to look in after the game.

Funk Shed are at Coda in Colchester this Saturday if anyone fancies a night of soul and funk covers. It’s a great bar that solely exists as a live music venue. Coda, 63 High street CO1 1DN Colchester

Got a very last minute gig on Sunday night for an end of season party for staff at a PGL centre (they run residential activity holidays for school kids) near Woodbridge in Suffolk. Amazing Manor House but when we arrived, realised that the crowd were pretty much all in their early 20's so a bit concerned about how they'd like our 60's/70's/80's funk and soul set. Needn't have worried. This audience, lubricated by some cheap sparkly, were determined to dance all night and loved the music. What a great night and no more assumptions from me about what people might or might not like! 8e5242bd-98c0-47a4-9234-ce3a4b4b074a.mov

Just bought Frank's stunning ACG - which he delivered personally and provided a money back guarantee for. Frank is a real gent and a pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly recommended, a true legend of this forum.

I’ve given it away now. The magic circle ain’t gonna be happy!

Using these babies: Woodie's WH-001 Hanger for Guitars with 2 Strap Buttons on the Side https://amzn.eu/d/7xvzuWq basically L-shape transparent Perspex brackets that use the strap buttons to locate the guitar. You can also hang at angles. If you are hanging a headless status though you need two sets to hang vertically as I found out cos the strap buttons at the bottom are obviously off centre and so the bass wants to pivot. So there’s two at the bottom and one at the top. They seem at least as secure as the headstock hangers. to get the bass down you bend the top one up a couple of mm.

Finally found something for the status!
