1997 Lakland 4-94

gearhunter420 · #1 02-04-2010, 09:08 AM

This is one of the early ones. The serial number is #207. In very good condition. I just have too many basses to appreciate this beauty enough to keep it. Someone give it a good home. The bass was recently serviced by Griffin Instrument Technologies and plays like a dream and comes with a hardshell case. Paypal is ok. I can also take credit card directly.

Asking $1900 US shipped to US or Canada. Worldwide shipping is available.

People,

Just buy this bass. I also have a 1997 Lakland 4-94 and it is an exceptionnal bass.
The neck were still hand made at that time and they feel more than great.

I Really like this bass too, but it is time to buy a home. So a few basses have to go.

I wish I had cash.

One small question: I thought 4-94 were equipped with Bartolini pickups. Did you change them or was it a factory option?

saltymonkey · #8 02-06-2010, 05:17 PM

Wow. You could buy your own country with that collection. Nice.

Nice bass!

I had #257 for awhile. Lake Placid Blue. Rosewood board. Alder body. Bart pickups. I miss that bass!!

These early Laklands are really special!!! Just something about them...I only play 5ers or I would go after this myself...that grain is phenominal!!!

I've seen other early ones with Basslines. I believe it was a factory option. Sweet grain on this one!

Hi, how much (approximately) do you think it would cost to ship this bass to Paris France (zip: 75014) via USPS Priority Mail International?

Aurel · #13 02-11-2010, 04:17 PM

Oops... sorry, I didn't noticed you were in Canada. Thanks for the shipping quote, but unfortunately I don't think I'll have the cash until a couple of weeks. In the meantime she might find a new home....

Such a shame this beauty is not getting played enough. I just have too many basses and I rotate what i play. I played a 66 P yesterday. You will not be disappointed with this one. I can accept credit card payments through my insurance business if you are waiting for a tax refund.

mmm mmm

Wow. Words fail. It is an exceptional beauty!

It is a very pristine bass. Great player too. I am trying to sell 4 or 5 off my collection to pay for my upcoming wedding and purchase of a new house. I will be happy to keep this one and will take it off the market at the end of the month if no-one buys it before then.
