I love this bass, but I really need a jazz bass for the new gig I have. The action is perfect on this bass, like most USA Laklands, same shape neck as the 55-94 and JO 5. Huge fat P bass tone, with a tight low B

8.35 pounds
35 inch scale
figured rosewood board (birdseye dots) on flame maple neck
Fiesta Red, the best finish I've seen
Nordstrand 5 string P pickup, vol and tone
mint green guard, with tortoise guard as well, plastic still on it, new
Lakland OHSC
serial #01
the first BG 5 made (only five of these basses ever made according to Lakland)

$2500 plus shipping

Trades: 4 and 5 string Jazz basses only, might consider a 55-94[/size]

In the pictures what looks like a scratch on the bridge is a carpet fiber.

I most definitely would if it weren't #01, but wouldn't it be kind of wrong. This is a P bass, P/J setups to me are blasphemous. Plus, I don't care what people say, once you had the J pickup the tone of P alone aint the same.

If it were Maple, I'd probably cancel my LOG bass order, lol. Good luck, someone will get an amazing bass- NOTHING beats my BG5!!!!

well....I WAS going to give you a nice "BUMP" unitl I saw that you think I am a BLASPHEMERE!!!

seriously - I have a P/J version of this bass (in 3 Tone Burst) and can speak for the sweet playability of these basses....

the Nordie pickup really has that GREAT P bass sound and the B string is just added sugar!

Oh - and with the J zeroed out, i get a GREAT STD P sound....he he he!!!

Help this guy out and get him a nice Lakie J bass!!!

I will grant you a pardon from the Blasmphemere label, just this once.

Sounds good!!!

Buy this bass - you will NOT regret it! if you want a GREAT P you got it here.....

I played a few 5 string Ps of "another company" and they paled in comparison to the sound and feel of a lakland P5!

Couple of trade offers I'm considering, two possible cash buyers, going to hold out for a cash purchase for a little while so I can get the exact bass I want, unless the perfect trade comes along.
