fraff Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) NOW SOLD. [b][color=#800000]This is now on eBay with a buy-it-now price of £665. Once eBay and Paypal have their pound of flesh, that would leave me with just over £580 (by my back of a fag packet calculations). I'd rather sell it through BC obviously, so if anyone fancies this for £580 please shout. Collected from London/Colchester. Cheers![/color][/b] Morning For sale is my [b]Lakland Skyline Decade[/b]. Comes with a very nice Lakland hard case. I got this from gentleman ShaunB on here a couple of years ago, though he only had it for a couple of weeks(!), having got it from Legion, again on here, who got it from iam. Proper basschat family tree! I'm looking for[b] £[s]700[/s] £665 collected [/b](from London or Colchester). I will be able to post some pics mid-week, but in the meantime, iam's post from a while ago shows the bass - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/112273-price-lowered-again-fs-lakland-skyline-decade-incl-olhc-w-pics/"]http://basschat.co.u...cl-olhc-w-pics/[/url] This Decade has the Chi-Sonic humbuckers and a coil tap (pull on the Vol knob). If you want them in Single Coil mode (the Humbucking mode is seriously phat) the Single Coil sound gives you more aggression. The neck absolutely fantastic on this - amongst the nicest I've played. The weight is pretty good (Legion weighed it at 8lbs 14oz though I've not since checked it) and it's beautifully balanced. This bass is currently at my bandmate's flat in Brixton. Condition is very good - it's only been gigged 2 or 3 times in the time I've had it, but I will check for small dings when I photograph it this week. The case has picked up a couple of scratches/very small tears since the pics that iam posted - just from being taken in and out of our old rehearsal lock up. That said, the bass has lived at home (or at my mate's) for the last 15 months or so and only been used on home recordings. As I say, I'll pop photos up later this week. No trades thanks - i need the cash Cheers Edited September 30, 2013 by fraff
fraff Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 Took some photos tonight and here they are. Had a look over the bass again and it is in great condition, no dings. The first photo, taken with a flash, is the best representation of the colour - it's a rich red in the flesh, some of the other photos make it look a little more washed out than it is. There's a photo too showing the marks on the case - not at all bad.

fraff Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 I've-gone-and-bought-something-and-I-was-planning-on-selling-this-first-type bump. Hence price drop.
fraff Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 OK, I was trying this at pretty near what I paid for it. That may be ambitious in the current market. So, let's call it[b][size=5] £665[/size][/b] collected. No trades thanks. Just a reminder - this is in excellent nick (I'd give it a 9/10) and it comes with the proper Lakland hard case. Ger'up there.
W11ATO Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Totally not my bag but can't help thinking how nice that looks, good luck with the sale, seems a lot of bass for the £'s to me
fraff Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Cheers W11ATO - you're right, it is a cracking bass for the money. Looks fantastic and unusual (but in a good way) on stage too - I had plenty of admiring comments the few times I gigged with it. Quality wise it's certainly on a par with my hand-crafted Sandberg I'd say.
fraff Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Some interest in this but nothing firm just yet, so uuuppp it goes.
fraff Posted August 24, 2013 Author Posted August 24, 2013 Right. Car related costs have just floored me and I have to get this moving. Open to offers on £665. Cheers
fraff Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Friday bump. Open to offers on this, before it hits ebay. Possibly trades too of basses of a similar value. Cheers
fraff Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Now on ebay, though as ever would prefer it to go via BC so if you fancy making an offer ............
fraff Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Bump for ebay-related discount!! See edit to original post. Edited September 16, 2013 by fraff
Lee Carter Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Damn if I had the cash, and you're local as well. But have a bump.
fraff Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Cheers Lee. It's a lovely lovely bass for the money at that price.
