bumnote Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I have one of these, fantastic is not the word. Probably the most versatile bass I have
krispn Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Awwww I was just in Madrid a cple of days ago Looks beautiful! Good luck!
five2one Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Bump Thanks... It's really a great bass.
samax63 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 hi. maybe my lakland decade US may interest you?
bobglaub01 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Or a Lakland US JO-5 or Fender Custom shop heavy relic (olympic white)
five2one Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Its possible I'm interested in your offers (not 5 strings). Please, send me PM and I can see. Thanks
five2one Posted November 19, 2014 Author Posted November 19, 2014 It weights around 8 lb (4 kg), but I don't remember exactly. I'll check it when I come back home.
five2one Posted November 19, 2014 Author Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I bought the bass brand new in 2008 and today the neck remains the same. From the Lakland website: [url="https://www.lakland.com/faq.htm"]Lakland FAQ[/url] [b]Q. What recommendations do you have for maintaining the neck on my US made Lakland bass? [/b] A. The back of the neck is a hand rubbed oil finish with a thin wax coating. We recommend occasionally ..... Edited November 19, 2014 by five2one
ikay Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Thanks, I just noticed the change in colour near the headstock which must be where it changes from a lacquer finish to the oil finish. Weight would be good to know if you can add that. Very lovely bass indeed Edited November 19, 2014 by ikay
three Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I had one of these - they feel light and balance beautifully. The neck looks about right to me too - superbly comfortable and playable
five2one Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks [i]three[/i], I think so, very playable ang a great vibe tone.
paulie Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 The entire neck on these bases is oil including the headstock (rear) The result is at after a couple of years playing they age beautifully. My Joe Osbourn feels like a pre CBS jazz. The more wear on the back of the neck, the better I say!
juliusmonk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I have one of these and the neck is superb. It shows the same colour change, nothing wrong with that. Glwts
bobglaub01 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Are you interested in a deal with a Joe Osborn 5 string USA ??
Genereal J Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Is this compound radius or not? Have been looking at the LL website, but can't seem to find it ...
five2one Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) bobglaub01: No, thanks, I'm not interested in 5 strings Genereal J: Lakland JO4 is not compound, fingerboard radius is 10" Traded pending Edited November 24, 2014 by five2one
