smaz Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure I'll regret this, but... Another bass has come up that I've been after for a few years, so this must go! This is an absolutely stunning bass in every way. It's extremely easy to play, looks beautiful & the upgrades were done very well. I picked it up from Stealth on here back in October ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/220288-lakland-bob-glaub-skyline-upgraded-fs-sold-pending-the-usual"]original thread[/url]) I had the Precision pickup replaced with a Seymour Duncan SPB-3 to get a sound I preferred. This is a higher output than the Nordstrand jazz pickup, so I will either, depending on the buyers preference: 1) Ship with Seymour Duncan still installed, and the Nordstrand Precision pickup included. 2) Have the Nordstrand put back in & I'll keep the SD one. (If you choose option 2, I'll need a chance to get it to my luthier to do the work) I'm asking for what I paid, which is £600 + delivery. This will include a new hard case. I can drop this to a padded gig bag if you want & drop the price a little. No trades, thank you.

jassbass Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Loving this .is it possible to post?thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaz Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Certainly possible to post. I've been asked about the weight, it's 4.3kg on some kitchen scales. It certainly feels well balanced & light. I've also changed the case I'll provide - rather than the SKB (I'd need to buy another one afterwards), I'm going to order a new hard case for it as that'll also give me packaging materials.
