Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones DJ4 - black sparkle (has a subtle fleck/sparkle).

 

I love a jazz, just have too many!

 

Excellent condition, some very minor marks including some buckle rash on back but no dings or missing finish. Drop D tuner, don't have original I'm afraid. 

Tiny, tiny indentation on the back of the neck by the 7th fret. I can't photograph it's so minor but you can just feel it as you play.

Another cracker. I dread to ask whether you’ve had to hire stablehands to help manage your stable. I always like seeing your basses on here though; fantastic taste.

 

Highly recommended seller. Good luck with the sale!

[dub_junkie]

Love it!

 

Hard for any Jazz to oust the Valenti though eh? 

 

Seriously nice Lakland. I had my head turned by them after I bought a 44-60 on here and found the plek'd neck meant it had the lowest, playable action of any bass I owned at the time. 

 

Seller is one of the good guys. Done a couple of sales/trades between us and he is a top fella to deal with.

Looks like my old DJ if I'm not mistaken. 

 

Killer jazz bass!

I’d love have my old DJ4 back. Sold it many years ago for a BG4. Had a tort and black scratch plate and sounded great with flats.

 

Good luck - someone is getting a cracker!

I have a Wilcock long scale if you would be interested in a trade at all?

Looks to be a lovely bass but need a straight sale on this I’m afraid as need to reduce numbers.

I’m fairly confident your stable is bigger than mine, I’m nearly down to a single rack with none hiding anywhere!

Aye, the Valenti is special. This is lovely too but I want a blue/white one! Gushing praise indeed, the cheque’s in the post!
