ON HOLD: Lakland Skyline 55-60 final price 800£ - *SOLD* £1050

[juliusmonk]

Hi there

 

For sale my last 5-string, a Lakland Skyline jazz type. A fantastic bass with a great B string, one of the best I’ve tried. I think this was a limited edition colour, a nice sparkly grey, but I can’t say for certain. Block inlays, binding, matching headstock, neck plays like butter. It also has an East pre. Changing the battery underneath the preamp was a pain, so I had a luthier route a flip cover battery compartment at the back, which is much easier. The preamp cavity was shielded too.
 

It is in excellent condition, only a few very minor dings on the back of the body that don’t go through the finish. Weight is not outrageous for a 5-string at 4.5 kg.
 

Shipping in Europe included. Non-EU destinations may face customs charges, that is on the buyer I’m afraid. 
 

Cheers!

These 55-60s are some of the nicest playing 5 string Jazz basses around. If I didn’t already have 2 high end Jazz 5ers I’d be making an offer!

May I ask what is the string spacing on this? Thanks.

[juliusmonk]

19 mm at the bridge

Price reduction: 950£. You get a pretty mint 55-60 with your standard passive  tones plus all the range of modern jazz sounds thanks to the East preamp, and easy battery change. I’ve had tens of great basses (including US Laklands) and this is the only 5-string I held onto, it is that good.

850£. Can’t go lower, with the extras I think it is a fair price for a straight sale.

For my dear UK fellow BCers worried about customs charges, let’s make it 800£. 950€ for EU fellas. And this is really the final price. 

[juliusmonk]

C’mon boys and girls. You don’t know what you’re missing here. Stop fighting your flabby B strings and get this
