Old Horse Murphy Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) I'm selling a mint condition Lakland Bob Glaub with original Lakland case. I've currently got 2 Fender Precisions which I play all the time and basically, the BG isn't getting as much of a look in as it deserves. This bass is absolutely mint. It comes with both black and white pickguards and an original Lakland case (there is a dent in one corner of the case, but it is perfectly usable and comes with all the original candy). It's the Lakland Skyline model and comes with a Lindy Fralin pickup. Construction quality is top drawer and the bass sounds amazing. In my opinion, this colour scheme is the best combination and the satin maple neck is one of the nicest I've played. The decision to sell this is a very difficult one, but the Fenders are keepers, so I'm afraid the BG is up for sale. I'm looking for £650 plus delivery, but I'm willing to travel a fair distance to meet half-way. Please PM me if you have any questions or would like any specific photos taken and thanks for looking.

martthebass Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Dammit Nick - why couldn't you have sold this before I bought the DJ5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - seriously thinking of letting this go for a 4 string version. P.S - how does it compare with the MIA P you sold me - is it worth Gassing over? Edited January 5, 2008 by martthebass
Geddys nose Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Drool!!! Very nice indeed but the cash pot is empty for this month. Si Edited January 5, 2008 by Geddys nose

A very different sound (more middy and louder to my ears) and the neck is to die for!! It doesn't feel as substantial as the Fender but is exceptionally well-made. I think you'd love it!! Sorry
martthebass Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I'm sure I'd love it but the coffers are empty - all the XMas/NYE gig money has gone to student daughter for term 2 at Alcoholic City University. Maybe when I sell the DJ5 something will turn up, good luck with the sale Nick
Toasted Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Hi there, what does it weigh? Bathroom scale measurement is fine

ShaunB Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Hey Nick, ...how come you have a conservatory exactly the same as mine? :-) Good luck with the sale... guys, this is a great bass - snap his arm off (you get to meet Holly the were-hound too!) Shaun

mcgraham Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 That is a thing of beauty, so tempted to pounce on a P. Why are Laklands always so damn attractive? Mark
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks for all the offers of trades. I'm really looking to sell this, as I have too many basses as it is.
MB1 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 MB1. Happy New Year to you sir! Bloody Hell! that didnt last long! Bobs not impressed!

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 10, 2008 Author Posted January 10, 2008 3 days left on the bay with 16 people watching it. Hopefully it will go, but I'd rather sell it to a fellow Bass-Chatter...
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Withdrawn- I think I'm going to hang on to this for a bit longer. Thanks for all the interest

He'd shown a lot of interest in the bass and just as I decided to withdraw it, he decided he wanted it!!
