Why on earth did I let this Lakland 5594 go.

[bubinga5]

I look back on pictures and sound samples of this Lakland. I can't remember who I let it go to and I cant find the previous messages.. but if you see this and want to sell it back please let me know.

I can fully understand why you'd want this back! That is stunning.

You’ve sure had some great basses. I love the look of the Atelier Z you’re currently selling, looks really classy in black.

Beware rose-tinted spectacles! I get wistful for basses I've parted with from time to time, but generally there's been a good reason for moving them on. Some have been truly incredible instruments that just didn't quite work for me.  That looks pretty fantastic though, maple board too -  exactly what I'd want.

How do these differ from the 55-02?

Made in Chicago by Lakland vs made in Korea or Indonesia by Cort (or Japan by ESP) 

[Chris2112]

Yeah that looks like a good one. 

[AndyTravis]

Wouldn’t mind a run at one of these.

 

I think I’m missing out. This as a 4 would be belting for me.

Yould buy a few, get one of them refinished, sell them and end up playing a Yamaha BB 

Ild lend you my 5 string for a bit if you were closer

Still cannot believe I didn’t go for this…

I had taken this Lakland and I also let it go. Which I am also regretting now;)

It is in Netherlands. Very beautiful bass.

I wish I hadn't sold my wal 5 string!.... truth be told, it wasn't my thing, but you know what I mean...we do these things!

There is a red one for sale on reverb at the moment (Italy based).

Think it’s listed on here too, it’s the slightly more modern Dakota red twin of my Candy apple red

I just don't get on with Cherry burst finishes at all, but it's a stunner, put it in tobacco sunburst or a metallic 'custom' colour, and you have me!  
Seriously considering a US Lakland 55-94 custom (with a couple of Sibob personal touches), but need to sell the 55-02 first.

Haha, no, although would be a cool twin for my 4 string.

Would likely be a US 55-01 style, ie two soapbars (Bartolini naturally).
