2005 Lakland Skyline JO4 - Slightly Modded
 
This is just a feeler at the moment but I have found another bass that I'm interested in so if I can move this one I just might.

What I am offering is a 2005 Lakland Skyline JO4 finished in a very nice three tone sunburst with a tort guard. The pickups are stock fralins.

I had the neck, fingerboard and headstock completely refinished in vintage tinted high gloss poly by Pat Wilkins. The headstock now sports a US Lakland Decal. Pat said he wasn't able to get the original Skyline decals. I also changed out the tuners and put on a set of US made Hipshot Ultralights.

It's your standard 34" scale with 19mm spacing and a 1.5" nut. It weighs exactly 8 pounds, 9.6 ounces on my digital scale. Nice and lightweight!

The bass, looks, sounds and plays great. Very low action and no issues of any kind. If I weren't suffering from a minor case of GAS I would not be listing it!

$1,095.00 shipped and insured in the CONUS. It will ship in a nice hard shell case.

Considering it's condition as well as what I spent on the neck and tuners I think this is a pretty fair price. If you don't, just PM me an offer. The worse that can happen is that I say no thanks!

I will also consider trades but I'm pretty picky. Top of my list right now would be a 34" unlined fretless 5 with a graphite neck.

Super nice

Very nice bass and Spencer is a real nice guy to deal with. Probably the nicest guy on TB that I have dealt with.

Thanks for the kind words. There isn't much to be gained by being a dick. I tend to try to treat people the way I like to be treated. It's pretty simple really......:cool:

What a looker! Is that the price including shipping (to Cincinnati area)?

Bump for one of the best guys on TB and an equally nice bass. These are fantastic!

Wow 358 positive feedbacks!! Great looking bass too!!

OK, now only $999.00 shipped until the bass I'm looking at in the classifieds is no longer available. Then the price will go back up. Love to move this beauty out today if possible!!!

I think I am the original owner of this one. Bump for a great bass at a great price.

Thanks for the good word guys! This is a really great bass. I'm just gassing for something a little more "high end" that's up for grabs right now. Once it's gone I'll likely just pull this down and keep it.

Now would be a GREAT time to contact me if you're at all interested in this bass!
