Calli Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Hello, I am selling an almost unique bass guitar: one of the first US 4-94 Lakland produced (number 150, made in 1997). Lakland basses have an excellent reputation and, if Skylines are already great basses, US Lakland are a step higher. Main features: - swamp ash body - maple neck - rosewood fretboard w/ 22 frets - Bartolini J pickup (neck) - Bartolini humbucker pickup (bridge), splittable to single coil - 3-band Bartolini preamp - Hipshot tuners This bass is different from the current versions for several reasons: - The neck is fully hand made, which is not the case anymore. - The pickups and preamp are from Bartolini and not Lakland. According to several persons, the Barts offer a bit less tonal possibilities but have a more specific sound. - It is equipped with an Hipshot Xtender (original tuner available) It is globally in very good condition: there are some light scratches and the hardware is slightly oxidized (giving the bass a very nice vintage touch). If you are wondering why I am selling, it is very simple: due to a recent purchase, the Lakland has seen its status reduced to backup which is a real pity. I prefer trying to find a new home for it. New US Lakland basses can be bought for more than 3000 € (£2500) on station-music.de and they have no hand-made neck (nor Xtender). I will sell mine, with its original Lakland hardcase, for 2200 € tbd, shipped to France, Belgium, Luxembourg or Germany, or £2000 tbd shipped to UK. I can also ship to other destinations but contact me first to get a shipping quotation. I would prefer cash only but a partial exchange could be a solution to drive the price down. I am currently looking for: - A Precision Bass : Squier (VM w/ maple fretboard, Classic Vibe 60s), Fender (50s Precision, Fender Steve Harris, US or Japan RI), Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub, a Japanese "lawsuit", etc... The neck has to be a Precision neck and my preference goes to reasonably priced basses (around 500-600€). - An AER Amp One (220V, 50Hz power input only) - EBS or Aguilar effects - some parts for a project (mostly PJ pickups, preamp and bridges) Do not hesitate to make an offer. Worst case scenario: I answer by "No".

Calli Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have been asked about the weight so here is the information for everyone: it weights about 3.8kg (using the legendary bathroom scale method). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
