FS: Lakland 55-02 2002 Barts, flawless

[gamefacebass]

I may regret this, but I am putting up for sale my treasured 55-02 in three tone translucent. It is beautiful and in perfect condition. May find some minor marks on the fingerboard from string wear, but that's it. It is super clean, never gigged, brand new Daddario Nickel rounds make it super bright. Has a 2002 serial number starting with "JO". Apparently the JO5 and the 55-02 have the same necks. Dan Lakin tells me that it was not uncommon for them to replace necks that were not up to snuff when they arrived in Chicago from Korea. This is one of those... I have an email from Dan to verify that this is original equipment and has not been modified. Weighs in at a full 9lbs.

I'll post pics later in the day.

Come with a gig bag for $975 plus shipping. I doubt I'll trade it, but you can throw Laklands at me to see if they stick...especially USA.

Big time Barts fan here! And I've heard the early Skylines, like yours are "special", heck yours should be first year. The "02" in 55-02 means that they started building the Sky version of the 55-94 in that year.

Would love to see pics, and best of luck to you.

That's the original protective plastic on the cavity cover....

I found some very light pick marks and tried to show them here....it doesn't come out too well, does it?

[gamefacebass]

This is not me playing bass, although I do have a similar P-Bass (Lakland BG)....

Any interest in a Skyline JO5 in the same color/wood?

[vin*tone]

I had one just like this. Hands down the best Fender Jazz I've ever played.
