Steff Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Selling my mint condition Indonesian built Lakland 55-65. This one has been professionally routed for the extra J pickup by the previous owner, luthier has done an outstanding job - it looks like a factory one. Wiring and second added correct pot for V V T made professionally too. Upgraded with Nordstrand pickups and strung with flats, sounds and plays amazing. Don’t see any dents or scratches on it. Weight is 4.55 kg. Reason for selling is that I’m having a custom order one built and I need to fund it. No trades. Don’t have a case for it unfortunately so it’ll have to be a collection or delivery by me if you aren’t too far from London. Edited December 13, 2020 by Steff 5
therealting Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Do these basses have the P pickup further forward than Fenders?
Steff Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 I’m not sure about this - maybe have a google and see what people have said? Regardless, as they say, nothing would sound exactly like a Fender P but a Fender P.

sterling_76 Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 The J pickup - is that a traditional single coil or a hum-cancelling splitcoil?

Steff Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 Bump! Will consider reasonable offers on this one.
Steff Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 Hi Sonny, it is rosewood as seen in the photos. 1
Steff Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 I need this gone, down to stupid cheap £750.
B.Chocolate Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Any chance you could post a pic without the mute to see the pickup spacing? Cheers!
Steff Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 Sorry just seen this - there you go You can also hear the bridge pickup soloed here at 1:13 - 4 1
CameronJ Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) How on earth is this still here? I would have had it myself if I didn’t already have 3 and a half P basses! Edited September 5, 2020 by CameronJ 1
Steff Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 Man it puzzles me too... it’s a rare bass and just the upgrades are worth £200. Bump! 1

Bump! @Steff I'll start by saying - What a bass! If I had the £££ I would have been PM'ing you long before now. I think there's 3 issues at play here for you: 1. Some people see non-reversible modifications as a turn off, regardless of the parts & costs involved, 2. No case/gig bag, 3. Collection/Local Delivery only IMO if you can address points 2 & 3 you'll reach a much wider buyer base and I reckon it would shift. GLWTS Cheers, Jon
Steff Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the notes man, yes you’ve got a point. As far as #1 goes, I’ve always looked at basses from a full time gigging bassist perspective and never really cared about keeping it super original (unless it’s a £3-4k worth bass) as long as the mods bring practicality. Unfortunately I’ve ran out of cases to give out after selling a few basses lately that came in without cases. I’m just thinking though a second hand case is around £20-25, that surely isn’t a massive problem...? #3 I don’t get as a major issue really cos for the price of postage I can deliver within half length of the UK, I’ve mentioned it but probably people haven’t looked into it that way. Hopefully there’s someone out there for me... oh wait that’s for another site. Hopefully there’s someone out there who isn’t bothered much by these points cos I really need it gone soon...

Steff Posted October 6, 2020 Author Posted October 6, 2020 Can’t believe I’m doing this but Covid seems quite comfortable to stick around so... price drop bump - £700.
