Hi all,

 

Moving on this fantastic 2008 Lakland 55-02 for a couple of different reasons; I’m primarily a 4 string player and I’m looking to order another Lakland US bass. Last in, first out and all that.
 

This bass is stock, so Lakland LH3 pickups/preamp, as well as the more slimmer thickness neck, before they changed to the more recent chunkier necks. The colour is a solid ‘piano’ black, not a black sparkle like more recent 55-02s.

 

The bass is in great condition, no wear to write home about other than the standard swirling you might see on a 17 year old bass. The input jack has a slight intermittent issue which would be a simple fix for anyone with a soldering iron. Typically I would, but only have lead solder and don’t want to have the fumes with a new baby in the house.
 

Weight wise it’s pretty much bang on 9lbs (see photo). Not unusual for Skylines of this era, but fairly rare of the newer ones. 
 

These are the only pictures I have of it so far, will grab a few more tomorrow (along with a post-it haha).

 

Cash is king, but might entertain a Yamaha 235 or Sire P5 5 string in part-ex.

 

Don’t really have the means/brain space to ship it at the moment, so pickup/meetup preferred. I’m in Hazlemere, Bucks, basically High Wycombe.


£850 inc basic gig bag if needed.

Made in Korea? 

Indonesia, the changeover was 2008/2009 (both factories were Cort interestingly), so this would be a very early Indonesian build, certainly before the changed the neck specs as mentioned.

Ok thanks. I was unaware that one neck profile was more sought after than another one. Could be a personal preference thing 😊
