Prosebass Lakland Custom (2008)

[Happy Jack]

One thing a broken leg and an operation do for you ... they certainly make you re-think your priorities.

An unexpected side-effect of my rather unfortunate last two weeks is that I've decided I really need to re-structure my collection of basses, perhaps into something that's less of a "collection" and more a few basses that I play all the time.

So I'm launching half-a-dozen 'For Sale' topics today. I'm quoting a price in each case, but if you think it appropriate then feel free to make me an offer. The worst that can happen is that I'll tell you that you can f*** right off, mate.

As if ...

Anyway.

This is a fairly early example of Paul Rose's work, which I bought from him two years ago. My original review (and description) are here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52472"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52472[/url]

Plenty more pics are at [url="http://tinypic.com/a/r1xe/3"]http://tinypic.com/a/r1xe/3[/url]

Simple to use, little to go wrong, built like a tank, and a wonderful ringing tone. My only problem with this bass has been the weight ... I simply can't cope with heavy basses. I'm going to miss the scale length, though.

Scale: 35" (Lakland Jo Osborne neck)
Weight: 11 lbs
Width at Nut: 1 7/8"
String spacing at Bridge: 17 mm

This isn't everybody's cup of tea, so I'm only looking for [size=3][b]£350[/b][/size].

Best option would be collection from Chiswick. Second best would be collection from the West End. If someone wants it posted, then we'd also have to factor the cost of a hard case into the deal.

Never say "never" ...

What did you have in mind?

[cmartyr90]

Stagg EBD which hasnt been given much attention since I bought it, and I can through in an MXR Blowtorch on top as well?

[Happy Jack]

Interesting, but I don't think I can go there!

I'm actually selling a Sorta EUB at the moment, and I use an [sfx] MicroFuzz through an Orange Bass Terror, which gives me all the distortion I need.

Anything else?

[cmartyr90]

Haha, yeah I saw you putting up the EUB just after I posted, I've got a Fender MIM 5 string and a Yamaha TRB5ii in my collection but I'm not sure how much I want to let the TRB go, could be tempted though.

That's a nice looking bass from the shot in the OP. Can't seem to get the others to load sadly.

But do I really need another bass!?

[oldslapper]

Oh Jack, you know how much I love this bass...........!! Pooh and double pooh for having no money!!
