PICTURES!!! Keep in mind, I am not much of a photographer. It does, however, show the one small nick on the neck and the couple on the edge of the headstock, along with the thumb rests/rails.

Here's the original description I bought it from:
2002 Lakland 55-01 with 4 band Audere
The pictures have been taken down, so there's a quick description if you don't want to follow the link.
This is an incredible bass!! The 55-01 is a great platform to upgrade, and the 4 band Audere pre-amp makes the Bartolini MK1's come to life. There are very few scratches on this bass, especially for an 8 year old instrument... the previous owner took great care of it. The 2002 neck is comparable to any US neck made, smooth, fast, just incredible. The only kicker is the "rails" (thumbrests) that have been installed. I personally like them, but some dont. I had this bass sold, but then found this situation... They are installed on the body and a slot is cut in the pickguard, so removal is not a simple thing... you probably should like the rails.
Why am I selling if it is such a great bass? (The ever present question) I am 52 years old, have played 4 string bass since I was 12, and my feeble brain cant deal with that extra string when I get in a gig situation. I hate it, but that is the way it is... so....
I can't really put it any better, aside from the fact that I just can't get used to the 19mm spacing, and this will be the last bass I buy like that. It just doesn't feel right after coming from my Thumb, so this is just collecting dust. It is three-tone translucent with a tortoise shell pickguard. One other thing, the stacked knob is a little loose, but I might be able to tighten it up easily. I haven't opened it up to take a look at it.
Trades? First thing first, I want a Pitchfactor, plus cash. Maybe a Pitchfactor and a couple of other pedals, hell, I don't know. As far as basses, I don't really know what I'm looking for, Must be a five string, 17mm spacing or so, definitely not 19mm. I'm not interested in adding any cash on my end, so keep the trade bait in line with that, please.
Outright sale? I'd like to get what I paid for it. $625 shipped. I never gigged with it, and it only left my house once. It came in a chip board case and will leave in the same. I will take some pictures asap.
