Lakland 55 01 F/S or trade

[garbev]

Hi all and Happy New Year(almost).

I've decided to put my 55 01 up due to my never ending quest for a
Fretless I'd be happy with.

It's a Dlx model with the most beautiful Quilt Maple top in
Cherry Sunburst.

I got it from Shaun B a while ago and was amazed by the feel, construction
and playability, crazy low action. I thought a bass of this quality would have
great p/ups and preamp but sadly, no. So I replaced the P/ups with Nordstrands,
Fatstack at the bridge and Big Single at the neck. I also replaced the pre with
the excellent Glockenklang 3 band unit, the pre is configured vol, pan, bass mid treble.
Pulling up the volume pot bypasses the eq but the treble still functions as a
passive tone control...clever. The bypass and passive tone also work if the battery dies.

So now the bass sounds fantastic, from vintage J and P to modern and hifi.
A friend of mine who owns a 55 02 was so knocked out with the sound he's
also going down the Nord, Glock route.

As I said, this is going to fund or trade for a fretless 4 or 5. Px against a
Pedulla Buzz would be fab and I'm also fond of fretless Graphite necks
Sale price is £600 this includes a fitted ABS case.

Any trials are more than welcome. I'm based in South Wales.

Thanks,

Man, I was just in south Wales this weekend gone. Shame I didn't know about this, but then I have recently dropped a packet of a Lakland of my own, so adding extra GAS would have been perhaps the worst idea ever. Still, looks damn nice.
