SumOne Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Lakland 55-02 £850 £750 (see posts below) These are regarded as one of the best 5 string Basses in this price range and this is one of the lightest ones I've seen around at 4.1kg and it's well balanced and comfortable to play, sounds good and is in very good condition. It plays well - frets are even, neck straight, electrics good etc. A few very minor scrapes I've tried to show in the pictures (they are minor though so are hard to see) there's some wear on the edges of the fretboard but that doesn't affect playability. - Year: 2010 - Scale: 35" - Weight: 4.1kg (9lb) - String spacing: 19mm at bridge - Nut: 46mm (1.81") - Frets: 22 - Tuners: Hipshot - 3 band EQ with internally adjustable mid center frequency - Push/pull for active/passive - 3 way switch for the MM pickup. I'd prefer to keep the tapewounds that are pictured so I'll put on decent roundwounds. With gig bag (will add photos later). Collection (Twickenham) or meet up preferred as I don't have a hard case or suitable cardboard box.

TheGreek Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 You've just reminded me that I have a 55-02 that I haven't played in ages - too many Yamahas or not playing enough?? GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) It's now for sale at Bass Gallery for commission: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/lakland-skyline-55-02 I can potentially withdraw it from there for a private sale.

SumOne Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 I now have a cardboard box it could be posted in, but the Bass is at the Bass Gallery I'd need to collect it first. It's for sale there at £850 and they take 15% so I'd get £723 selling through them at asking price. Let me know if you want to make me a direct offer that would make it worth my while going over to Camden and back (I live in Twickenham) and then boxing up/posting etc for a private sale rather than waiting for it to sell through them. I guess £750 is about the break-even point for money vs hassle, or a bit less if you can collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Bargain for a bass like this. Ive owned 6 55-02s an amazing 5 string. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman666 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 A 5502 I had exactly the same as this is the bass that converted me from a 10+ year 4 string player to 5 strings. The clarity and flexibility of these basses is hard to match. I liked it so much I decided to treat myself to its USA made brother 😁 GLWTS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) On hold (probably sold but it was bought via Bass Gallery as an online order and there's a 2 week 'cooling off' period for returns).
