Lakland USA 55-Dual J TRADED £1650

[lowregisterhead]

For sale is my 2015 Lakland USA 55-Dual J 5-string in tobacco burst. I bought it on here a few months ago (the original sale listing link is at the bottom of this post) and added a John East Uni-Pre, but the passive pots and knobs are included in the sale, as is the Lakland lined case shown in the pictures.

It's in really nice condition, with only a couple of small, barely visible dinks on the body, and a chip in the finish at the edge of the control cavity, as shown in the pictures. The neck is completely unmarked. It's light, resonant, balances beautifully, and sounds fabulous. The only reason I'm selling is I already have a DJ5 (with quite a few modifications, admittedly) and I can't justify keeping both, so the more valuable of the two is going.

Delano pickups, and a John East DJ Retro preamp. Although it didn't really need it, I had a separate battery battery compartment routed into the back of the bass. The John East preamp is brilliant, and no modification is required - it just drops straight in.

Great bass here folks-most comfortable neck ever and thunderous B string....

Is there still a passive tone control with the East pre ?

Not on this three-knob version, but there's a five-knob Uni-Pre that has.

Got one... incredible bass. Don't discount because it doesn't have all the bits and bobs the "usual" Laklands have. The neck is just the best and B string is the best I've heard.
