FS: Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub (44-64) Limited Edition Teal Green

SOLD!

It absolutely breaks my heart to do this... But I was hit with some sudden bills, and selling this beauty is my only option at this point.

Up for sale is my BRAND NEW (I've had it about a week) 44-64LE in teal green metallic with matching headstock. 1 of 100 made. Ash body (from what I'm told, all of the Skyline LE's are), rosewood fingerboard with dots (no blocks or binding), Lakland p/u. If I had to guess, I'd say it weighs about 9 pounds - although it's probably a little less than that.

I just picked it up YESTERDAY from Bass Emporium, where it received a full setup with DR flatwounds. I gigged it for the first time last night at a private party, and it sounds AMAZING. It also plays better than any P-style instrument I've ever put my hands on, with the exception of a US Glaub. It looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, and is exactly what I'd always dreamed a Fender Precision could be.

It's in mint condition (only gigged once - last night!), and it comes in a brand new Lakland black tolex (Fender style) hardshell case (note: NOT the plastic SKB-style one they used to use).

The only things worth mentioning are nitpicky stuff:

1) There's a spot or two where someone got a little overenthusiastic with the fret file (I've seen much worse on USA Fenders). You can see the marks, but they're minor and I can't feel them while playing.

2) The pickguard wasn't cut perfectly around the bottom - it's a little uneven on the edge near the jack (like on most Skylines). This didn't bother me, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Like I said, this thing is brand new. Not a scratch/ding/dent/etc on it. It has less than 2 hours total playing time on it.

Asking $1,100 shipped, but am certainly open to offers. No trades.

I'll try to get some pics up tonight.

Gorgeous Bass! Let me know if you change your mind about trades. (Think Amps)

THis one shouldn't take you long to sell though.

WOW! sorry you have to do this.....these are really sweet basses (I have seen a few in person and the color is awesome!) and the cases are REALLY a nice upgrade from the older style...

also, the new Hanson neo pickups are really nice....

peace and good luck!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I really don't wanna let this thing go. Have a studio session tomorrow, and I'm gonna get to hear it through a vintage Neve 8058 console... Yikes!

As mentioned earlier, I'm taking offers. The $1,100 isn't set in stone. But, I've already got about $1,400 in it, so be gentle
