joetruscott Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Having to sell nearly all of my basses due to employment situation. Here we go.... SOLD [b][u]Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn 5 String - 3 Tone Sunburst, Rosewood board & Tortoise Shell Pickguard[/u][/b] This one is just under 2 years old and in complete working order. It was one of the last ones to have Lindy Fralin Pick up which I believe are better than the new Lakland ones. There is no blemishes at all. Set up with some brand new lakland strings and set up by a pro. Tight B with a vintage sound and cuts through well. Owned from New.

It was one of the ones with Lindy Fralin Pick up which I believe are better than the Lakland ones as they sound much like a sixties bass (read some reviews on them). The Hipshots were replaced with black ones aswell as the string trees and Schaller Strap locks and come with the ashtray pick up cover. There is no blemishes at all except for slight general playing and a couple of small barely noticable scratches by the jack input. Set up with thomastik Flats at the moment but sounds great with both and set up by a pro. Has the motown sound all the way through to rock bass and does it all well like a classic P-bass.

This is purely the best jazz I have ever played. It has figured wood on the neck like I have never seen on a fender which is really deep. A solid and deep sound. Dimarzio Model J pickup were installed about for years ago which gave it slightly less 70's vibe and more 60's and a massive vintage midrange bump in it to cut through any musical setting. Also I had the Japanese wiring replaced with USA vintage cloth wire and an Orange drop capacitor which made a huge difference. It comes with the 2 ashtrays too. Also it has a Badass 2 install which makes this bass have near inifinate sustain (to the point where I was recording with it and I was fading it out myself but the engineer said let it naturally fade out and when we punched back in and let the last note ring out, it sustained for close to 90 seconds .. ahah).It's in perfect working order with general wear and tear with years of playing as well as some small chips which are hardly visable on the bottom side of the bass.

For payment I would rather have Cash or Cheque but paypal can be aranged This is mainly for UK and Ireland guys but other countries contact me if you are interested Sorry about my lame photography but thats probably why I am a bassist rather than a photographer... I am based in Reigate, Surrey so if anybody would like to demo that is fine!

Golchen Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 [quote name='joetruscott' post='425718' date='Mar 5 2009, 03:59 AM']Sorry about my lame photography but thats probably why I am a bassist rather than a photographer...[/quote] I've just been through all your pix, and I have to say that you are the worst photographer I've ever seen! (no offense intended, I guess it's a phone camera!). I'm looking for another bass at the moment, and I really like the look of Laklands, but I've never tried one. I'm off to London tomorrow, so I'm going to see if I can find one to try somewhere (not sure where other than Denmark st???). Might be interested .........

harvey1-8 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have a CIJ 75' reissue jazz (minus all the mods) from around 95 and I have to say it is one of my favourites to play. Good luck with the sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I can put a deposit down on the 55-01, but unfortunately won't have the rest of the cash until the weekend! It is a mighty fine looking bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
