Master blaster Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Hello, ive had this Lakland 44-01 for about a year and i loved it to start but the string spacing just was to wide for me and i never got used to it. So now i want to let it go to a home where someone will play it and love it. These are fabulous basses as some of you may agree. Its a sub £1000 bass that players and sounds like a bass worth twice its price tag. Im located in bournemouth so if anyone wants to have a viewing they're quite welcome. Heres some piccies. [attachment=60892:Photo_1.jpg][attachment=60893:Photo_2.jpg][attachment=60894:Photo_3.jpg] [attachment=60895:Photo_4.jpg] I would like £350 for this beast. Im also open to trades (basses only) Cheers James Edited November 3, 2010 by Master blaster
bassfan Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Very nice looking bass, I do love lakkies!Does it have a case? Any noticeable marks ?
Wil Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 £350 for a Lakland Skyline? I don't know much about Laklands, but that sounds like a bloody bargain.
Master blaster Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 ive got the lakland branded levy's soft case. Theres a little mark on the top of the headstock but other then that its clean. Theres no digs to my knowledge.

pantherairsoft Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 What's this like with the slap tone? Nice and sharp? I only really play 6er's now but fancy a 4 string formulating around with my slap technique. I don want to buy something cheap and uncomfortable though... So before I find a Warwick Thunb I thought I'd look this up!
Master blaster Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 You can get a nice clean/sharp slap tone out of this. You can also get a deep more thumpy tone to. The bart mk1 preamp on this bass is excellent and allows your to dial in a vast array of tones. I have a thumb bass and ide bass its rivals the tone of the thumb.

Macko1968 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 These are excellent basses, Ed Friedland often uses one. At the price it's a real bargain.
bassatnight Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Excellent value, tempted myself. I had one of these from new and it cost me twice this price.
Hit&Run Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Is this collection only or will you post it out? Cheers
webby Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Ooh, tempting. Was looking at Squire Jazz/Precision/Jaguar's but this is nice.
