'08 Lakland Skyline DJ-5 - Lake Placid Blue £800 £875 Lincoln

[RichValentine]

Bought off eBay recently to try out 5 strings again. A great bass but I am sticking with 4strings 😛

 

Only notable wear are a couple of marks on the headstock (see photo) but otherwise there are no other signs of wear and no issues with the electronics. This is a great 5 string with a lot of clarity in the low B string, and a great low action.

 

No gig bag but happy to meet up within a couple of hours to deliver or can post safely wrapped.

 

£800

Fantastic basses, these, and going back a decade or so, DJ5s were the Super Jazz 5 of choice on this forum... 

 

I bought one almost exactly the same as this from @P-T-P in 2007 or 2008, and I still regret selling it, which I stupidly did a few years later. 🤦

 

The necks on these is about the best you can get on a 5 string at this price point, and so is the clarity of the B string - excellent as I recall.

 

Plus, these basses have a beautifully even tone across all of the five strings. And, what's more, these sound like Jazz Bass should - not a super modern hi-fi tone; more of a proper, natural, woody, jazz bass guitar tone!! 

 

These days, I hardly use my 5 string basses (and I still have 2), otherwise I would be very, very tempted by this, especially at this price. 

 

GLWTS 👍😊
