lowregisterhead Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) For sale/trade is my Lakland 55-64 Skyline 35" scale 5-string P-bass (formerly the Bob Glaub model). It's a Lakland Owners Group limited edition, one of only 30, it's about a year old, plays beautifully and sounds great, but I've decided I'm a jazz bass man at heart! I've only ever had it out on one gig, so it is literally as new. They call the finish 'Butterscotch', and it has a maple neck and black block markers. It came with the Nordstrand NP-5 pickup fitted by Lakland, and it sounds huge, with great clarity and detail - for a passive bass it also has a lot of output. Despite not being a US made model, the build quality and finish are excellent - I've owned USA Laklands in the past, and it makes me wonder if the fairly small differences between them and some of the Skylines really justifies charging 3 times the price. This one was assembled, checked and Plek'd in Chicago. At a shade over 9 lbs, it's light for a 5, and balances well. Sale price is £850 + shipping, and the only trades I'm really interested in are 35" 5-string twin pickup basses, preferably active (a Lakland DJ5 with a John East or an Audere preamp, perchance?). But wotcha got?? Dave Now SOLD, pending the usual.... Edited February 10, 2012 by lowregisterhead

lowregisterhead Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 [quote name='Stockholm Syndrome' timestamp='1328810185' post='1533081'] Is this 34" or 35"? [/quote] Sorry - it's a 35" scale, I've now added this to the description.
