three Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 An intriguing bass - do you have further details or information (age, timbers, finish, dimensions, weight, condition etc.)?
Sibob Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Love it, Ben certainly gets an awesome sound from his. Gotta love a walnut body, adds so much to the sounds imo Si
lowmid Posted September 19, 2016 Author Posted September 19, 2016 [quote name='three' timestamp='1474278132' post='3136645'] An intriguing bass - do you have further details or information (age, timbers, finish, dimensions, weight, condition etc.)? [/quote] Hey, the bass is from 2011, body is 2 piece african mahogany, neck is quartersawn maple (as in all USA laklands) with a satin finish (very smooth) with a pitch black ebony board with no front dots (has side dots). Dimensions are classic Lakland basses except the scale length is 35 inch. The bass is actually not longer than any other bass but the classic 34 inch laklands like the 44-94 have 22 frets and this one has 21 frets and the bridge is a bit further back. Bass has been played live a lot so has some scratches. Finish is some oily finish with satin varnish on it. All the hardware is made in USA hipshot. The pickups are the Joe Barden JB4's which are actually both dual coils so noise is not an issue at all. There is a large control cavity in the back of the bass in case you'd like to go active so there is enough room to fit a Pre! Bass is very light, but i don't have it at home right now so can't weight it. I have 2 knob sets : black JB types and Gold Barrels (look at the pictures)
fretless bob Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Sweet!! good luck with the sale on this one. Dave
three Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Brilliant - thanks very much for the details - just love Lakland necks and very cool that they've accommodated 35 in a compact package. Tempting - can't see this lasting long - superb quality throughout
