For sale is my Lakland Skyline 55-01 five string bass with Bartolini Mk1 pickups & preamp. Excellent condition - £495 inc UK delivery 

 

Edit: Weight (digital bathroom scales method as that’s all I’ve got!) is 4.3Kg which is 9.46lb - it’s not a prohibitively heavy bass at all (I’ve had heavier 4st Fender Jazz’s!) but it’s a 5 string bass, and so unless they’re chambered or something they tend to be north of 4kg

 

This bass is super comfortable to play with the awesome neck you get on all Lakland’s, and the 35” neck gives a great sounding B string. It sounds excellent - you get a decent approximation of a P bass towards the front pickup, more of a PJ sound at centre and then you can go towards the back pickup to dial in some of that funkier sound or all the way back for a Jaco type tone.

Decent 3b preamp too which is pretty hot, you don’t need to boost or cut it much to get what you need, but the more extreme end is still useable - full treble cut sounds like the rollback on passive tone etc. This bass is basically a super clean 5 string you can take to literally any gig and make it work - it’s a real quality bass (with fantastic mod potential too! Some great pickups such as Nordstrand Big Stacks & Aguilar Big Singles etc slot straight in!)

 

***I bought this bass recently from another BC’er and he gave me a really good deal on it - I am only selling it because I have the opportunity to buy an absolutely top end, amazing dream bass at a ridiculously good price and I need the cash. If that bass sells, or I manage to sort something else out in the meantime I’ll take this down, as I would prefer to keep this! I’m listing it for what I paid plus postage, but it’s not going to be up for ages - it’s either going to sell or be withdrawn in a week or 2, and for this sort of bass it’s a genuine bargain!***

Minus delivery you’re paying just over £400 for a Lakland Skyline 55-01 in good nick, that could easily go for twice the price - if the bass I want to buy goes then I’ll pull the listing, but I’d rather let this go super cheap than miss out on the bass I want.
