Dazm66 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) NOW £675. Definitely interested in trades so try me. A Fantastic as new condition Lakland 55-01 Bass in Cream finish, the build quality is excellent ! and the Bartolini Set up sounds great, coupled with the graphite reinforced neck and Pleck'd fretwork this bass plays superbly and is very stable. Strung with a newish set of Rotosounds (lightish gauge), it really is in amazing condition. Ive looked all over it and all I can find are some light scratches at the top of the headstock (pictured). Another failed 5 string experiment for me. I bought this to replace a 5 string Warwick corvette as I was convinced the wider neck would stop my fingers getting tangled, and it did to an extent, but the truth is, I don't play it because I'm too much of a 4 string player to change my ways now. I’ll not post as I've nothing to pack it in - however I'd be happy to drive within an hour. I might be open to trades, I've a hankering for a P with flats for example (4 string of course) but won't be adding any cash to a deal. The Skyline Series basses are made in Indonesia and then shipped to Laklands facility in Chicago for the Pleck setup and final inspection so they really are first class instruments! From the Lakland Website : SKYLINE SERIES 55-01 Versatility with high-end features! The 55-01 utilizes the classic Lakland body shape with a pair of Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soap bar pickups and an MK-1 onboard, 3-band buffered, active preamp. You can dial in an amazing variety of tones, from modern slap, to warm fingerstyle to aggressive picked tones. The 35″ scale neck is fast and smooth providing the killer B sound Lakland 5’s are famous for.

Sibob Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Solid basses and about a good a 5 string you can get for the money! Also a solid base for upgrading pickups/preamp too. Mine is awesome! Si 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I have one in mirror black - don't like to touch it as it just leaves fingerprints. What are you looking for in the way of trades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you looking for in the way of trades? Have a hankering for a p-bass as I’ve not owned a ‘real’ one or maybe a 500w + rated 4x10 cab, but I’ll consider anything really. The Lakland just doesn’t get played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Don't have either - sorry - I thought that this would have sold ages ago at this price. Again, GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazm66 Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Thanks for the support. I’m a bit surprised too. Not even sure you could buy a new one in the uk now. Might be the weight. Not desperate though so happy to leave it out there. Offers and trades welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
