She’s a little bit of a chunkster sitting at about 9.8lbs - but it’s a 35” scale, 5 string with an Ash body so it’s never gonna be a lightweight bass. It certainly doesn’t feel heavy “on” like some basses can, possibly because overall it’s a really well balanced instrument, but all that lovely resonating from the ‘premium tone woods’ Lakland talk about do come at the cost of it not being the lightest bass ever 😁 I’ve done a couple of relatively long sets/gigs with it (1 x 90 min set, and also did 3 x 45’s over 4 hours) and it didn’t give me any backache or leave me feeling uncomfortable, and I’ve had chunky Jazz Bass’s before that have been problematic in that respect, but this has always been OK 👍

Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe in Translucent Purple - £975 (INCLUDING Lightweight Hardcase & UK Delivery) - Stunning, high-end 5 String 35” Scale Lakland Deluxe bass, the “Deluxe” part meaning it is made with premium tone-woods (Ash Body, Quilted Maple Top, Maple Neck & Ebony Fretboard) - One of the most versatile basses around with MM/J pickup config and coil tap switch for the bridge humbucker MM pickup giving you 3 options, splitting the coil in 2. - 1st position is top row of coils only activated (60’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) 2nd position is the bottom row of coils activated (70’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) and 3rd position is both rows of coils activated, which is ‘Stingray mode’ - Disclaimer: It doesn’t sound exactly like a Stingray! 😆 But you can get pretty close and it’s still a really funky sound in its own right anyway - Bass is in fantastic condition, not really been gigged much by me and the finish remains perfectly in tact - visually it’s a stunning bass and a real eye catcher that gets loads of comments about the looks as well as how it sounds - Ebony Fretboard on a Flat sawn Maple neck with a satin finish, which as is the case with almost all Lakland’s, it is extremely comfortable to play - Finished in stunning translucent purple with no chips or dents in it. The finish allows you to see the grain of the wood, with the Ash at the back & sides contrasting beautifully with the Quilted Maple veneer on the top (**See pics below for close ups of grain/finish 😍**) - Premium Lakland LH3 Electronics (3B boost & cut Preamp & MM/J Pickup config with coil tap switch as explained above) Really great musical sounding preamp, Bass is set at a very useful 125hz and the mids can be selected from 18 different available frequencies between 275hz & 1100hz using the dip switches in the control cavity - The Lakland LH3 pickups are really great sounding and are made to work with the LH3 preamp so the obviously sound great together. One of the best testaments to the LH3 pickups is that you virtually never see a 55-02 that has had modified pickups, because there’s very little out there you can get that’ll make any measurable improvement and there’s no reason to as the LH3 ones are schweeeeet! 😁 - 35” Scale gives you a really great sounding low B string, as all the 35” scale Lakland’s are famous for. Strings can be done through the body or through the bridge. - As this is the “Deluxe” model it comes with pretty much everything the US 55/94 Model comes with, which is all the premium tonewoods as already mentioned, flatsawn maple neck with Graphite Reinforcement Bars, and the premium electronics as mentioned above Im sad to let this go, but I have very much priced it to sell. This isn’t an average 55-02 that’s been gigged hard with standard features - it’s a top end Lakland made with the same premium parts as the US models, and it is then sent to the US for final QC, so apart from the assembly in the far east, I really to struggle to see what the value is in a US model at 3 x the price of this £975 [inc case & UK shipping!] **Includes a lightweight hardcase/semi hardcase (like a hard foam type case - anyway It’s brand new and Is absolutely perfect to ship it in as it’s light but will protect the bass!) AND U.K. Shipping!** Not really looking for trades, however if you do have something you think I’d be interested in drop me a message with it and the worst I can say is “No Thanks” The only Trades I have in mind currently that I’d seriously look at are: - Sadowsky MetroExpress (Made in China) as a PX with cash my way, Or - Straight swap for a Yamaha BBP35 (MIJ), …but I can be pretty susceptible to a Deal 😁 so feel free to try me!

That looks absolutely amazing! 🤩 David Wilson does really good work doesn’t he - that’s a lovely colour especially with that colour Scratchplate!

Nice Jazz bass ...... options for £500 (new or used)?

I haven’t read the thread past this post 👆 however I would absolutely agree with this. The Sadowsky MetroExpress’s are really fantastic basses and the price they’re going out for at Thomann which is sometimes as low as £279 but most of them are sitting around £320-£350, but there’s nothing out there IMO that comes close under £500 -

Sadowsky SBP-2 Preamp pedal - excellent pretty much as new condition (does have 2 x Velcro strips on the bottom) Absolutely immense sounding preamp turning any passive bass instantly into a Sadowsky powered funk machine (or something like that 😝) You probably know what they do anyway, so I’ll save everyone’s time by not giving it the hard sell here 2 band preamp - Bass & Treble (Boost only) and Master Volume. Needs a 9v power supply - works with any normal 9v pedalboard supply, no fancy requirements, no box which is why I have done it so cheap As I’ve said it’s in excellent nick - great pedal for next to nothing! It really does sound fantastic - I just bought a Sadowsky bass however so I no longer need the preamp! £45 inc tracked UK postage

Just bought one of these (for £50 more may I add!! 😢🤣) and I wouldn’t usually comment but they are absolutely everything people say they are - it’s an unbelievably great sounding preamp, and things like the 2 x FX loops - 1 before the preamp and 1 after is such good design and has so many practical applications in the real world (i.e. Modulation such as chorus/octave/envelope filter before the preamp but then you can run your compressor at the end of your chain or stick a HPF right at the end of your chain, without having to get extra DI’s and add another pedal/box in to do it!) I haven’t stopped messing about with it and testing different things since I got it, if you’re thinking about getting one but you’re not sure - it’s really good and absolutely worth the money

MarkBass ‘Compressore’ Tube Compressor Pedal. Includes generic 12v power supply but I’ve been running it fine from my TruTone power supply on my board as well Really great compressor - only negative it has (for some) is the size, however it’s one of the best sounding compressors I’ve ever owned - and I have owned a lot ha 😆 but I think if this was Cali76 sized it’d be one of the most popular compressors around, it sounds & feels really good No box - but will be very well packaged. Couple of reviews here worth checking out - Ovni Labs (a.k.a Cyrus): http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml Compressor Pedal Reviews (Chris Tromp): https://www.compressorpedalreviews.com/post/markbass-compressore-review £95 Posted - very cheap for a compressor pedal of this calibre. Only selling due to something coming up that requires me to cash a couple of bits in - if the other deal falls through I’ll withdraw this as I really do like it!

Obviously you can never have too many 4x10 cabs 😉 🤣 It is a bargain tho - it’s not even like it’s heavily gigged, it’s in absolutely excellent condition. I have a run of Dep gigs coming up that I need back line for, but I need a 210 or 212 600w+ This just gets used for practice, so I’d rather get rid quickly as something has come up for me that fits the bill and I want to get it sorted asap.

TC Electronic K-410 600w/8 ohm 4x10 Bass Cab with 1” tweeter. Excellent condition - no rips or scuffs etc, sounds absolutely sweet. Lightweight @ 29kg (considering it’s not a Neo cab) measures 69cm x 60.5cm x 35.5cm. Selling as I rarely use back line but I’m looking to get something of similar wattage but 4ohm and 210/212 for when I do Collection from DH2 Chester le St - Absolute giveaway at £125!
