birdy Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Starting a new thread for this as I now have pics sorted etc and a severe case of GAS which means I want to get rid of this to fund it. I was going to keep it as its an awesome jazz but I have two great 5's so this really is a luxury to keep. Its a US Lakland that has been modded by Mike Lull. Norstrand pick ups and Aguilar 18V OBP-3 pre have been added and its brilliant for slap or fingerstyle. The neck is a joy to play. One minor issue that I won't have time to get sorted is slight acoustic buzzing at the 5th/6th fret on the E string. I guess a setup/fret level would sort this for not too much money but hence why the price is £1100. I paid £1350 for this in August. The buzzing has never bothered me when plugged in and I would gig with it without worry. Would prefer buyer collect and try ideally rather than ship. Its a killer bass. EDIT - The pre amp thats fitted contains a passive tone control which allows the bass to be run passively and roll off treble so you can certainly get nice passive jazz sounds out of this as well.

birdy Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Here are some more pictures. If anyone wants any specifics please ask. The bass has a beautiful birds eye maple fingerboard and is nice and light (about 8.5 lbs I estimate). I have also shown the control plate and preamp that was in their originally which I am including in the sale.

birdy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Just been playing this and doing some Garageband recording with this and it sounds so good I am keeping it and my GAS will have to subside :-) No one wanted it anyway Steve
zigmondo Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Blimey! Am most surprised; keep your powder dry that man.
