funkle Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Hi all, I've recently bought a Lakland 44-02, and am in discussions with Lakland about a custom bass. Might still go with Shuker though in the longer term, so have to wait and see. However, I need to free up some funds for one of the above custom projects, so I'm putting my Lakland DJ4 up for sale. I'm sure you're all familiar with the specs, which at at any rate are available at [url="http://www.lakland.com/jones.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/jones.htm[/url]. It's been my main gigging bass for a couple of years, and has a single small chip at the headstock (see pics). The neck is super smooth at the back from all the hours I've put onto it last couple of years. It is in excellent condition, and is an excellent jazz all round. Great review in Bass Player at [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/passive-bolt-on/Jan-04/574"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/passive-bolt-on/Jan-04/574[/url] as well as this thread at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1643&hl=lakland+darryl+jones"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...nd+darryl+jones[/url]. It has the Aero pickups, and weighs 9.5 lbs. It will ship with the Lakland Levy's gig bag. As to price - [color="#0000FF"]now on eBay.[/color] Any questions, just drop me a line!

d-basser Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Nice bass, not my kinda of colour but still, Funkle is a great guy to buy from (shame I didnt get on with that g-bass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thank you gentlemen. As an aside, just back from the G.I. Joe movie. Probably not worth the bother - I like mindless action flicks, but even still, the plot is just too thin. ....back on topic... I'd ideally like a darker colour blue myself, but if LPB is what they've got, then that's what I get. And what someone else will get, I guess...

funkle Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Good morning bump! I meant to say - might be interested in an EA iAmp of some description + cash. Let me know what you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Gorgeous one of a very small number of basses I've not yet owned that I'd like to. Sadly I have neither the cash or an iamp. But if the bass stays awhile and my gas won't abate and the wife could be placated and someone fancied my black n gold geddy for £550 I'd have this!!

funkle Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Hi all, This is back on the market. Apparently, bassatnight has just been made redundant, and cannot afford to go ahead with the purchase. I wish him the best of luck, but in the meantime, it's back up for sale!

bassatnight Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Apologies to Pete, I had my heart set on this Bass and spent my holiday salivating over the pics. Out of the blue I have now joined the swelling ranks of the unemployed and am looking so forward to my appointment tomorrow at the local JSA (whatever that is!) I have to say Pete was brilliant and understanding and whoever buy's this baby is dealing with a top bloke. Any vacancies out there for a Project Manager!? Steve.

It might be worth hanging on to this for a while to see what happens. Especially as the DJ4's have the signature on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Bump for an awesome Jazz Bass. I bought here a couple of them, the last one from Sebpayne and it had been one of my best purchases ever. Good luck Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 By the way, if you want a direct trade for a 5 strings Warwick FNA Jazzman LTD just let me know. I have a friend with that bass that had been searching for a while a Lakland DJ for a swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks for the comments gentlemen. I had heard from the Talkbass boards that the signature model is probably going to be pulled, and I had written the blurb on ebay wth that in mind also. However, from what I'm reading, it still looks like Lakland will be putting out a DJ model - just not the DJ sig anymore. Still, I'm sure it'll add some value to the instrument if later models are no longer 'signature'. Nonetheless, money still talks, and my bank account is barking at me...
