***Lakland Metallic Grey DJ5 $1075.00 shipped***

After some recent wheelin', dealin' & tradin' I've ended up with 3 Lakland DJ5's. All the deals for these like new basses seem to come together at the same time and I was in to deep and couldn't resist. I will keep the first 2 that I got a (grey matt/rw board/lak singles pups) and a (white/maple/Chi-Sonics single pups). And sell this one that I traded for. I have and have had many Laklands but this is my first experience with the DJ's and they are killer basses IMHO. Thought about dropping some preamps in them but man do they sound awesome passive. My Carvin BX500 has like 3 preamp stages plus 12AX7. I just made some minor adjustments at the amp and wow. Anyhoo it is what it is. Will discount for local San Antonio, TX buyer. Holler at me and we'll make it happen.

See specs & pics below. - Thanks

Here's a picture of this exact bass that I took. She's beautiful and plays like a dream. Very lightweight for a 35" 5 string bass also.

Just want to make a correction. This bass in the pic posted by Eublet is the DJ5 I got from him and I'm keeping it. The bass in the pics I posted at the top of this listing is the bass I'm selling. As stated in my original post I have 3 DJ5's and 2 of them are metallic grey and both are killin'.

Thanks

Sorry for the confusion. 9.5 is still a light weight for a bass this size, and well within my comfy zone. These metallic grey basses are beautiful.
