Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub (SOLD) £750

[Sibob]

Hi all,

This has only just come to me, however something has come up at a price I can't really say no to haha. This is last in, so it's first out.
Fortunately, the deal I've been offered isn't going anywhere, and this is really excellent, so I'm not in a rush, win/win for me

2008 Lakland Skyline (Korean) Bob Glaub. This is the full fat Precision, so the 1.75 nut width, but with a nice shallow profile (ala 60's style Precision necks).
Beautiful Tobacco (2 tone) sunburst with a vintage mint scratch plate. Nice dark rosewood. There's not really any of these around on the used market, I found one of the newer Indonesian 44-64s at the Gallery (£899) and one on Amazon I think.

I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10 for condition, a couple of little nicks, but nothing really to write home about on a 10 year old Precision, I can try and photograph them if needed.

Bought this from Walshy here recently, and in the interest of transparency, I'm listing it for a bit more than I paid. However since it came to me, it's been fully setup by a pro with some La Bella 760FS flats, this included a full fret level which is desperately needed, so you're good to go for years now (first time I've used Ray Cooper, near Hemel, really impressed and a lovely guy). I've also replaced the grubby hard-foam case with a Hiscox hardcase. So I'm just listing it for what it owes me, no profit here haha.

Showing as 9.4lbs on my kitchen scales.
Unfitted strap-locks also included FOC

SOLD

Because it's just had a great setup, and especially if you don't need the case, I would prefer for collection/meet-up only around Hemel Hempstead/High Wycombe areas. I can ship, but at your risk and cost as always.

Any questions, please let me know.

Think this was mine for a bit a few years ago too. If so I think it also has Fralin pickups. Great bass, stunning build quality.
