Chopthebass Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) I've decided it's time for a change, and really fancy a Nordy VJ5, so I'm having to sell my US Lakland 55-94 to finance it. I emailed Dan Lakin and he confirmed it's a 1997 bass. Transluscent blue over quilted maple bookmatched facing, with great birdseye maple fingerboard. Fantastic condition - just one small nick on the top radius and a very small nick round the edge of the truss rod recess. The original beige hardcase is in great condition. Everything on the bass works as it should. The MM/J pickup configuration makes for a very versatile bass. I'm looking for £1250.

bassaussie Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm not a huge Lakland fan, mainly because I'm not really into Barts and the 35" scale isn't quite my thing, but I've always thought they were beautiful looking instruments, and your's in no exception! That top is amazing, and looks great with the trans blue finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks. It is a really pretty bass. I had an Overwater 36" scale, and that was bit of a stretch, but going from 34 to 35 was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
