lowregisterhead Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) For sale is a Lakland 55-94, quite an early one, made in 2000, in a beautiful deep gloss black. It has an ebony fingerboard, Bartolini pickups and preamp, and is in extraordinary condition for its age. I'm only the second owner, and I imported it from the States in January. I honestly think the original owner just looked at it, which you can't really blame him for - it's hardly been played, and as such is almost totally unmarked. It has a removable cream pearl scratch plate, courtesy of The Gallery, who also fretted it - it started life as a lined fretless. These earlier examples of the 55-94 have a big, fat, creamy tone, and it's a dream to play. It's an absolutely fabulous bass, but I have to... what's that horrible word... downsize, due to unforeseen circumstances. Comes complete with a cream G&G case. I'm looking for a sale only, so sorry, but no trade offers please. NOW SOLD. Edited September 1, 2014 by lowregisterhead

lowregisterhead Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Still here, but may end up on EvilBay shortly if there are no takers...
BigBeatNut Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Sigh ... I so wish you'd left that as fretless.
