haysy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Hi This bass started life as an all black Lakland Skyline Korean DJ 4 string, rosewood board. I bought it off an Italian guy in London and he showed me a video of him playing it in a band on a cable tv show in London. He’d then changed the body to a great quality 2 piece tobacco burst jazz style and added EMG pickups and pre amp. I kept the pups but swapped the pre for a John East J Retro Deluxe, fitted by John himself while I waited. So now it is a great quality parts bass and was my main gigging bass for 4 years. A few marks here and there but it’s in good nick. SPEC: Original Lakland DJ Skyline neck with signature logo , tuners and bridge Emg pups East preamp 9v 2 piece tobacco burst jazz body I’ve added the thumb rest and rear battery compartment. The screw holes next to the bridge are from when I had a Roland GK3B synth pickup fitted. Comes with a used black ABS hard case. I’m in Wirral, NW England. Thanks for looking. Edited September 10, 2018 by haysy I want o keep it, it's a nice bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 If you do part out then I maybe interested in the body and Lakland bridge - I have a Lakland neck Just awaiting the right body 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SICbass Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Given the Lakland content and the high quality parts, if the overall “ensemble“ jives well together, that‘s one heck of a lot of bass for the money. I‘m not on the market myself, but if you were to put up some soundbytes of this baby you may significantly increase your chances of a sale.

Thanks, I’m off to Greece on holiday tomorrow for a week so will sort something when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haysy Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've decided I want to keep it, as it's such a nice bass. Thanks to all for their comments and parting-out enquiries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
