alstocko Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, I've got my beloved Joe Osborn 5 up for sale. Unfortunately it's just not getting played much any more to justify me keeping this beauty, so I'm looking for a new home for it! It's the "Skyline" series, so crafted in Korea and assembled in the USA. However, if you ask many Lakland owners (me included!) there's so little difference between these and the USA versions that these are more "bang for your buck". It weighs around 4.25kgs and is strung with some pretty new D'addario Nickel Wounds. This creates a great tone with a low B that is tight and well pronounced. Like all Lakland 5ers, it's a 35" scale bass. I can either be strung through-body or over the top, I have gone for the latter. There's recordings here with Lakland JO flats on it: [url="https://soundcloud.com/alecstockton/sets/5er-lines"]https://soundcloud.c.../sets/5er-lines[/url] There's pictures here: [url="http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/alstocko/library/Gear%20Pics/Lakland%20JO5"]http://s1160.photobu...s/Lakland%20JO5[/url] Based in Hull, Will be going over to the North-West first weekend of April. A lovely bass, I hope it can find a loving home soon. UK Sale only please, trying to thin the collection down, so no trades and I won't post abroad. Peace, Alec Edited June 9, 2014 by alstocko

bigevilman Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I'm in Hull, any potential you might wanna trade for a 55-01?
xroads Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I just bought a DJ5, otherwise this would be mine....good luck with the sale, killer basses!
alstocko Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks guys, unfortunately no trades for me, just a sale as it's time to thin the collection. Had plenty of interest so far, nothing solid, but I doubt it'll stay around for long!
bigevilman Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 On holiday over easter so cant really afford this just before then - doubt this will even be here before then! If only you'd put this up after easter lol
ROBBIE Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Hello mate, If not sold - I would like to buy. Please let me know. Many thanks Rob.
alstocko Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Bump! Available today and tomorrow, then away for two weeks so get on it!
alstocko Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 I believe Lindy Fralins, somebody may be able to enlighten me though
ikay Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 [quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1396538362' post='2414845'] I believe Lindy Fralins, somebody may be able to enlighten me though [/quote] They changed from Fralins to Lakland/Hanson pups in 2007/8 so could be either, but with an 08 serial probably Lakland. The Fralins have vintage cloth wire and the Laklands have pvc wire so that's one way to tell.
ROBBIE Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Hello Mate, Yes I will have the bass. Please reply if ok Many thanks Rob
