Hi All
A bit unusual in that this instrument is at my parents in FL, so no photos at the moment. if there is sufficient interest, i shall bring her home. I believe shes a 2002, a kind of shoreline gold and maple board, bartolinis, in very good/excellent shape with a gigbag. Would be asking for postal money order and $875 shipped. send me a message if its interesting. Its a perfect playing and very handsome instrument.

Was this bass refinished? I have never seen a Lakland 55 -02 in this color.

Trade plus cash on my end for a MIJ '75 reissue jazz bass?

Its gotta be a refinish.
Looks like a good one too.

The paint quality is so good that it never crossed my mind that its not original. I suppose a call to the friendly folks at Lakland would clarify. BTW a bit of figuring in the fretboard (photo). Made in Korea of course.

Simply gorgeous!

maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks, but isn't that the Inca Silver? I can't tell if it's just my eyes or bad lighting in the pics. I wasn't aware that Lakland ever made a Shoreline Gold for the Skyline series. But who know, rare oddities do exist. Regardless of whatever color it is, it's a beauty.

what year is that from? (first 2 digits of the SN)

It's probably Inca Silver. I saw another 55-01 with that same color here on TB.

duke2004 · #17 01-30-2010, 10:53 AM

Correction, yes Inca Silver and i have to believe its a factory paint finish.

Johnny Alien · #18 01-30-2010, 11:29 AM

Inca Silver was an original Skyline color. That is an early one as evidenced but the "Crafted In Korea" text on the back. Later ones had "Designed in Chicago" as well. These early ones are absolutely without a doubt the best Skylines made. The new ones are nice but the early ones blow then away quality wise....especially the necks.

Rare color too. Great price!!

Can you take a full length shot of the Bass front and back. Also, can you take a shot down the neck looking from the headstock to the bridge please?

Per your request looking from the headstock to the bridge and full photo of the front. There is a photo of the back in a post a few days ago.

Thanks for the positive words, someone is going to be very happy with this one.
