Yep.... Will add some shortly...

Moving on my Lakland 55-02 in Pearl White. This is a 2018 model, but pretty much as new. I'm just not getting on with the 35" scale and the neck isn't as slim as my Sei so it just isn't getting played. Time for it to go to a better home! Tonally so versatile, especially with the MM/J combo and various coil options, it annoys me that it just doesn't 'fit' me. 😣 The pearly white paint looks great and definitely has a shimmer which doesn't come across in the pics - (credit BD). I will add some more tomorrow when I get a few mins and will try to capture this. It really does look great. Anyway, I bought this from Bass Direct in December (have proof if needed) - aiming just to reclaim what I paid. As a sweetener, I may be tempted to chuck in my GruvGear sliver gig bag for the right deal... otherwise I will source a gig bag for transit. I can post - will be around £25, will be boxed and in a gig bag as I mentioned. Trades are welcome, same value or I could be tempted to add some cash for the right deal. Jazz type 5s are welcome, as are most things for consideration. Spec's: Lightweight Swamp Ash body Maple neck Maple f/b - 35" scale Pearl White Lakland pickups active 3 band eq Weight: 4.5kg (from what I could muster!) A Lakland Quad Coil hum bucker (bridge) and a dual-coil (neck) are teamed with the same 3-band active Lakland LH3 preamp used in the US-made 55-94 to let you dial in an incredible range of tones. 3-way toggle splits bridge pickup coils for increased tonal range. It has that deep Lakland cutaway on the high register side of the neck that allows easy access to highest frets for throwing licks on top of your grooves. Lakland Skyline luthiers now do their fret work using Plek technology to assure optimum playability. Plek is a CAD/CAM machine with scanning capability. It was developed to perform high-speed, highly accurate fret dressing, nut and bridge slotting and shaping, and engraving work. When used by an experienced luthier, the Plek machine produces necks with fretwork and action that equal the very best handwork and does it consistently.

Trades?? Any interest in anything specific...

Given the situation, is delivery an option??

?? Collection only??

A helpful hint of I may... Get yourself to Halfords and ask for a bike box from their rubbish. Preferably one that hasn't been broken down. A Stanley knife and a roll of packing tape, Bob is you mother's brother. Takes a bit of fettling to make it fit but I always find the cardboard is tough and makes a nice strong and well protected box. From a fellow overwater fan.

Musicman Stingray 5 Classic. Natural with maple fingerboard and John East MMSR 3 band pre-amp. I love this bass but a recent Sei purchase means this is not being used and I could do with a cash injection at the moment. It pains me to do it as I have been after a classic 5 in this finish for years but needs must and a house renovation calls.😭 anyway, enough of the sob story... I blame @bubinga5 for selling me his Sei! He should have known better... in excellent condition, no major dings or knocks or anything, comes with the original Musicman hard case. i bought this from Moonbass for £1350 and am just looking for my money back, it is worth that considering list price and the preamp as well which has the swept mid control... Gorgeous birds eye maple neck, laquered, lovely to play and has that sound. I hope Moonbass doesn't mind me using his pics. Will get some more uploaded asap. i am happy to consider trades... A normal Stingray 5 would be welcome, as would a lakland or something similar with a SR style pup at the bridge, 5 string basses only. I need a cash injection of around £450 if that helps. Offers are welcome but cash sale it has to be £1350 and this is firm. Can post / courier fully insured at buyers cost, should be about £25. any comments are welcome!
