dmckee Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]T[/font][/color][font=Helvetica][color=#282828]his is a 2008 USA Lakland, made in Chicago, serial number 841. Beautiful bass, in teal sunburst (green or blue depending on the light), swamp ash body with quilt maple top, maple neck with birdseye maple fretboard, Lakland USA pickups, LH3 preamp. (The scratchplate you can see in one pic is an official Lakland scratchplate that they put on their 44-94 Standard and it is just sitting in place, so could be attached if you wanted). [/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica]You can read the full spec here: [url="https://www.lakland.com/44-94.htm"]https://www.lakland.com/44-94.htm[/url][/font][/color] [font=Helvetica][color=#282828]Fantastic bass really. Amazing neck. All in very good condition I would say. It was clearly played a reasonable amount by the person who had it before me so there’s some light scratching on the body, but the neck is totally fine and fretwear is minimal. [/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica]The bass sounds amazing, as you’d expect, with a wide range of tones. here’s a video of someone playing a 44-94 Standard.

dmckee Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sorry, no. I have a specific bass I want to order from a local luthier, so need the cash. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliusmonk Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The last pic is from a different bass (pickups, preamp), correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmckee Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Hi, It's the same bass. I previously had different pickups and a different preamp in it, but returned it to the stock pickups and preamp for this sale. That was just an old picture to show the scratch plate I also have for it. Have updated the picture now. Cheers, Dave.

Riddler Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Bank holiday Bump I've been having some great email chats with Dave as I've been very tempted by this beauty. He sounds to me like a very genuine guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've played this bass and it's fantastic. As I'm mainly a 5 stringer my next big purchase will likely be a 5 but at this price it's very tempting. I've been gigging the 4 string recently just to see if I'm kidding myself on😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
