ChazzJEUK Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Received in a part exchange. After a chat with the Mrs, decided it's not my cuppa tea. Beautiful example of Laklands take on a P bass in a brilliant slightly sparkley candy apple red. Lindy Fralin pickup. Maple neck. Rosewood board with blocks Hipshot tuners One chip in finish which is pictured. Comes with a spare white pickguard. Edited August 11, 2017 by ChazzJEUK

ChazzJEUK Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 I should also mention I'm open to trades/part ex with cash my way. I do have a soft spot for anything Aguilar.

ChazzJEUK Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 [quote name='nash' timestamp='1501440879' post='3344687'] Is the neck a J or P? [/quote] It's a nice middle ground. I've played Jazz basses with similar necks and P basses with similar also. I wouldn't say it's as narrow as a Jazz and I wouldn't say it's a thick as a bog standard P. I'd say it's a pretty comfortable half way between.
ChazzJEUK Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1501441628' post='3344699'] Crikey, bargain right there [/quote] Aye tell me about it! Priced it to sell!
CameronJ Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1501441628' post='3344699'] Crikey, bargain right there [/quote] Fully agree. I can't see it hanging around too long at this price!

jahfish Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Any ideas how old this is, and what pickup set it has?

dave_bass5 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Ive had two of these, and regret selling both. Almost the best P basses ive ever played. I wonder if this is my old one. That had a black pick guard on it. The standard one is white IIR.

dave_bass5 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Yeah, i cant stand white, and on a bass like this i felt a darker colour brought the colour out more. This was the same bass with a pearl PG on. quite a different look.

Id have it if it wasn't for the ding in it.
Graham Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I keep looking at this and thinking "you could put flats on it and then it'd really compliment your DJ5" and then sanity returns........someone buy this and save me from me (and then ultimately, the wife)
