Hey all, time to raise some funds for my honeymoon. Giving up this one will hurt, but the hope is drinks on the beach will ease the pain.
For sale is my beloved Lakland 44-02 with a natural finish, rosewood fretboard, and black pickguard. It's like a pre-EB Stingray and a 70s J made a baby. LOVE the looks of this one. I can bear parting with it only because I have a 55-02 in the same combination.
This particular bass has the Lakland pickups, not the Barts. You can hear them on the 55-02
here. The Lakland site has
all the other specs, too.
There are a few cosmetic issues to note: On the front of the bass, there's a hairline crack in the poly near the bottom of the bridge, and on the back, there's another one beneath the control plate. Don't know how they got there, but both are stable. If you really hold it up to the light and squint, you can make out a few tiny dings and very superficial swirls/scratches on the back. With the grain shining through the finish, though, no one's going to notice.
Otherwise, it sounds and plays like new. Action is about 2mm from the 22nd fret to the E string, with no buzzing anywhere on the neck (YMMV, of course, depending on technique). Build quality is phenomenal, as we've come to expect from the Skylines.
Let's say
$725 shipped in the CONUS. Gig bag included.
