No probs, they are a big of a marmite brand tbf. GLWTS

This is my old pedal - it’s ace. If it’s still here month end I’ll have it back, no better envelope filter on the market unless you want to drop a mortgage payment on a Proton - great pedal

Funny you should say that, I’ve just played 2 different musicals on this, and a whole variety of different pub/function/wedding gigs - it’s a bass that fits in perfectly anywhere tbf. The weak point was the electronics - or more specifically the preamp, pickups were fine but single coils don’t work for me - once that’s addressed it’s a monster bass and I don’t think you’ll find a better jazz bass under a grand anywhere

For sale is my outstandingly good Lakland Skyline 55-AJ 35” scale Active Jazz Bass. This is one of the best playing & best sounding basses I’ve ever had, I’ve had numerous comments on how good it sounds, particularly since the pickup & preamp mods,’which has turned it into an incredibly versatile bass giving you the option of everything from thumpy, tone down passive P-bass to Marcus Miller slap, to rear pickup focused funk and anything inbetween. Condition-wise the bass is in good condition - it’s been gigged and isn’t a dog by any stretch but it isn’t a brand new bass - it’s a working bassists bass, supremely high quality and it will not let you down. The only thing that I have to mention is it did get a knock underneath next to the back strap button - this caused a couple of cracks in the lacquer that went around from the stacked knob to the rear control panel. It was taken to a luthier for professional repair and it was fixed & the lacquer was redone, you can see the mark if you look, and if you tilt it in the light you can see where the lacquer was cracked, but it has been repaired and it is smooth to touch. There’s no structural damage and you only notice it if you look for it, however I have to mention it as it’s there and I have factored it into the price SPECS: It has a swamp ash body with a beautiful figured maple top, 22 fret rosewood fretboard & a 35” quarter sawn maple neck with a reinforced head and 2 graphite reinforcement bars. It has the option to string through the body or through the Lakland custom bridge, and 5 hipshot tuners in a 3+2 layout. This bass has one of the best B strings I’ve ever played, only bro g beaten by my Dingwall, but you can get the same clarity on the B string all the way up the neck. MODS: Preamp: The original preamp on these is the cheap Bartolini-licensed MK1 that is also in the 55-01. It had no Passive mode and sounded pretty rubbish. The preamp was replaced with a Nordstrand 2 Band preamp (2B-4C) with Tone control & push/pull for active/passive mode, so the layout is now: Volume/Blend/Tone/Stacked Bass & Treble. Tone control works in both active and passive mode, and if you open the rear cavity there is gain trim pot, where you can have the preamp so it is exactly the same volume in passive as it is when active and totally flat, or it can be turned up by up to 15db. Bass is +\- 12db @ 50hz and the Treble is +\- 12db @ 4khz - I t’s a very musical preamp, not one of those where if you boost it more than 30% it sounds horrendous Pickups: The original Lakland single coil pickups that were in the bass were pretty good, however I don’t play a jazz bass at centre detent very often and find single coil him annoying, and I thought I may as well do it whilst I got the preamp done, so after a lot of researching decided to go with the Anaconda AC5-TN stacked coil pickups, and they sound really great. Loads of clarity and a fat low end - if you give Anaconda basses a look on YouTube it gives you an idea, but they do old school/vintage just as well as modern if you EQ it for that - and they look ace with the big pole pieces too 😁 I am including a nice padded Ritter gig bag with the Bass, and I can post within the UK for £20 with DPD (I have a Bass Direct box & packaging from the last bass I bought from them & it will be extremely well packaged). I am selling as I have seen something I want, so I am putting it up for a very good price with a view to a quick sale, however I’ll likely pull it and keep it if what I want to get is sold Reduced Now £750! (inc Gigbag +£20 for UK shipping)

Medium scale or medium gauge?

What’s the action like, is there plenty left in the truss rod?

Could you take a photo of the Oberwater serial number/date etc that will be inside the control panel? Thanks

Awesome. I’m officially a convert!

Apart from the weird form factor that Eden has for all their pedals, these are absolutely ace IMO - well underrated and miles better than the price would suggest. GLWTS

🤔 I have a Schroeder 212 800w 4 ohm?

Lovely bass that, it’s mental how much bass you get for your money with these Sire’s!

£140 - absolute bargain here for someone!

Origin Effects DCX Bass EQ/OD Preamp - fantastic sounding pedal. Works amazingly as an always on tone fattening ‘special sauce’ pedal or can be used as an OD Boxed with instructions in great condition £150 - priced for quick sale. Shipping available for £5, no trades

If postage ever becomes an option please DM me @Lozz196 and let me know, this would have sold within a week if it had been I think

I had one of these for a while - fantastic DI box, run a stomp into it into IEM’s and you could ask for a better sound 👌🏼

I’ve got a 3 over 2 Lakland 35” - would these go on do you think or are they going to be too short?

This is probably my dream bass - absolutely love them. I played a 5st P version (rather than pj) at bassbros and honestly it was the best bass I’ve ever played, and it wasn’t even close! Bit rich for my blood right now, but I can dream - I could maybe cancel Xmas this year tho? 🤔
