Lakland Skyline 44-60 - NOW SOLD £700 Worcestershire

[John T]

Lakland Skyline 44-60 jazz in Sunburst.

Custom matt Black composite pick-guard made by Jacks instrument services, i have the original cream/off White one somewhere should you want it, It'll be in a box somewhere in my proposed home studio....having just moved house i may have to dig a bit!

The matt Black does look great though and gives it a slight 'stealthy' look. Stunning bass, plays as good as it looks, lovely fretwork and finish. Bought from a BC member in 2018 who looks after his gear as do i. Feels like a proper Jazz with the becoming legendary Lakland neck and having had a few of these this sounds the best of all of them.

Rotosound rounds, only a couple of months old.

Hipshot ultralights and weighs just over 4 kgs.

Not had a lot of use since it's been with me and never gigged [not by me anyway]. 

Postage not an option at the moment though this may change if i can find a case i'm confident in posting it in.

However, i can meet at a reasonable distance to shorten your journey.

I owned this very bass. Was very nice indeed. Very punchy.

Must be really good then. I’m really digging the white one I bought from Simon. 

By the way, what strings were on it when you sold it? Not sure if they were the same ones that @Stealth had on when I bought it. They sounded great. I forgot to ask to keep them when Jon Shuker set it up for me with a different set.

Yeah, that White trans ltd edition is a gorgeous bass.

They were probably Rotosound 45's or 77's if they were flats. I have them on the one i'm selling and 50's on my PJ 44-64, they just work for me.

Guess he must have changed them then as it wasn’t either of those. I got rotosound  66s put on when I had it set up but now it’s wearing GHS precision flats.

Was about to withdraw this as the market is so slow....but will leave it here for the time being so back to £650 or nearest.

[John T]

Trades for PJ types of equal value. 

4 string, jazz neck preferred.

A P or PJ with a jazz neck would do it!.

Would also consider a nice 5...... WHY.

Cheers

I hate to be the 'nut width guy', but do you know what it is on this bass? Guessing typical jazz style 38mm? Have my eye on a few basses at the moment and this is definitely up there as a strong contender, if that happens to be a 42mm you'll be getting a PM! 

[John T]

Standard 38mm jazz nut i'm afraid...

[John T]

Trades considered for Spector and PJ types, maybe even a P depending on neck width.... 4 and 5 string.

Cheers
