TRADED: Lakland Skyline DJ4 - now 600£ £850

[juliusmonk]

Hi

For sale a 2006 Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones 4 in pearl white/rosewood that I just got locally. Selling because it is surplus to requirements (I have a 44-60 already which I prefer).

It is fully loaded with Aero pickups, an East DJ retro preamp, cavity shielding and two extra pickguards (white/white pearloid). Will ship with the original control plate so you can return it to its passive glory if you so wish.

The bass itself is pretty much mint, but I am picky and the fingerboard feels to me rough where the block inlays are fitted. Also the pickguard doesn't tightly fit the control plate. The two previous owners thought these weren't an issue at all, so I concluded that it is my obssessive nature.

The tone easily compares to my USA Laklands, which is a surprise! The DJ for me nails in passive the early Prince tone (think Let's Work). With the East pre the array of sounds is overwhelmming.

I need to recover as usual from compulsive behaviour so will let this go for 600£, shipping to EU included in a standard Fender gig bag, but well protected. Trades will be considered (note trade value is higher), but would prefer a straight sale. Paypal accepted.

What's the weight? Under 8lb would be ideal.

[juliusmonk]

Sorry but I have no proper scales - it doesn't feel too heavy nor light, so I guess around 8 lbs would be about right. But I cannot be positive that it is definitely below that... Will try to be more precise on Monday if I can borrow scales

[warwickhunt]

8lb is very light for any Jazz sized/shaped bass (even downsized as this), I tried about 6 DJs as I was told they were light and I never found one under 9lb... nice basses mind.

That is a stunning example!

Waiting on weight confirmation......please be a heavy brute so I don't start tickling my finances😃

[karlfer]

Jeez, that's cheaper than Mex Road Worns

[lou24d53]

Ooooh, that's really sweet, absolutely cracking price as well, unfortunately I'm completely skint just now!
Karl, how about you buy this and I'll take it off your hands in 6 months time!?

[lowregisterhead]

Fantastic bass, fantastic price, especially with the John East too! I have a Skyline DJ5 with a J Retro, and it's every bit as good as any USA Lakland I've played, and I've owned a few...

Good luck with the sale.

Well Dougie, it's because a couple of days back, I committed myself to a LPB one of these, without the East, and more expensive.
Translation. I'm stupid

[juliusmonk]

Thanks guys - unfortunately I can't still confirm weight, with bathroom scales it seems to be 4kg. All pms replied to, still available
