FT: Brand new Lakland Skyline 44-64 custom PJ, EU based! (Huge list with trade options added!) - *WITHDRAWN* £1135 Ghent, Belgium

[Bassdude BE]

I've just got this delivered from Bass Buddha earlier this week and it's a superb instrument.

The hardware, PLEK'd frets, sound and playability are top notch in every way and I truely believe it would be very hard to find a bass of equal quality in this price range.

Alas the neck on these custom PJ's sits somewhere in between a Jazz bass and Precision bass neck profile and I expected a more wide/flat neck profile.

 

Hence, I'm considering a trade with a bass with a wider/flatter neck profile that suits my hands a bit better.

 

The 44-64 comes with an ash body, maple neck with Indian Rosewood fretboard, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and Lakland USA pickups.

The original packaging and goodies (tools, cable) are still available.

 

The factory set-up is superb, the bass plays lightning fast with a low action and no buzz.

 

 

As I've already gotten a lot of trade offers that didn't really rock my boat.

I've made a short list based on my experience with all these brands showing which trades I'm interested in and which trades I'm not interested in,

hoping to save you some time and effort offering trades that don't fall within my interests.

 

Looking for trades with 4 or 5 string fretted, 32-34" scale
and a wide, flat neck profile.

Also interested in analog(!) effect-pedals.

 

Yes: 

- MTD kingston
- Sire
- Fender MIJ/MIA jazz (no 5strings in this case)
- Lakland 44-02
- Cort
- FGN
- G&L Jazz
- Mayones
- Musicman Sterling USA
- Sandberg Jazz
- Roscoe (standard)
- Vigier
- Mensinger
- Schecter
- Marleaux
- Human Base
- ESP

 

No:

- Spector
- Dingwall
- Ken Smith
- Yamaha
- Warwick
- Supro
- Rickenbacker
- Maruszczyk
- Jackson
- Charvell
- Ibanez
- Steinberger

 

I'm based in Ghent, Belgium and the bass can be tested here on an Eich amps bc112pro combo,

or I can ship her double boxed in the original packaging.

 

Anyway, time for some pic's...

Well,

since I couldn't source one locally (I'm in Belgium) I had to order one from Denmark so shipping costs are quite steep compared to other stores. 

It cost >100Euro to get it here from Denmark, and Denmark is not in the EU (they use a different currency than the Euro) so extra costs had to be paid for importing this beauty. Therefore I'm not really keen on paying the return costs out of my own pocket as I would then again have to deal with customs and find another Lakland (with jazz bass neck this time) and probably import it again as they seem to be quite hard to find on the local market. Hence my preference for a trade.

Updated the list with possible trades, also willing to take some effects-pedals as partial payment.

Lakland don’t really make a P bass with a Jazz neck as such. The nut width is 38mm but the front-to-back depth is 22mm at 1st, 24.25mm at 12th.

I'm looking at a possible trade with a 44-02 atm. That neck seems to be slightly wider at the nut, but also flatter, which seems to suit my hands better. 😉

Just to clarify, that’s the “jazz taper” neck. They do 41.3mm and 44.5mm nut widths too.
