FS only: Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn (original issue)

[pbassnut]

SOLD! Thanks everybody.

Time to thin the herd again ... up for grabs is an original issue Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn signature Bob Glaub Precision type bass. This bass was made in the early days of Lakland's Korean made Skyline series of basses and (according to internet lore / urban legend) only 200 of them were made. It is not, I repeat NOT one of the more recently made Skyline Duck Dunn basses that are candy apple red with a matching headstock and a J width (1.5" @ the nut) maple neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard with block position markers. It has a 3 color sunburst ash body (that looks better than the attached pictures would indicate) with a maple/maple P width (1.65" @ the nut) neck and a gold anodized pickguard. It is in like new condition, comes with a Lakland branded Levy's gig bag (also in like new condition), plays great, sounds killer, holds a tune and is all original including Lakland's top shelf hardware (such as Hipshot Ultralight tuners and their proprietary high mass, top load/strings through bridge) except that the original pickup has been replaced by a Fender Custom Shop '59 Precision pickup (the original Lindy Fralin Precision pickup is included in this sale). Other details ... it is currently strung with D'Addario EXL 165 Nickel Wound roundwounds (.045 - .065 - .085 - .105) and weighs in @ about 9.5 pounds and comes with the original bridge and truss rod adjustment tools. No trades, please ... just the mean green ... $895 plus shipping & insurance from Falls Church, VA. Payment via US Postal Service money order only. Lemme know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Steve

This looks like a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub and not a Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn....unless I'm missing something.



....a beautiful Bass nonetheless, I had one exactly like it!

Ferg, this is what the early Ducks looked like, before they came up with the CAR/blocks/matching headstock look. It was meant to resemble Duck's '57 P, I believe.

There was ALOT less than 200 made. I am sure there were less than 90 made.

Let me sleuth and find out the details for you.

Nice looking bass.

Hey thanks ... that'll be interesting. I've found that "internet lore" can be much like "urban legends". 200 could just as easily have been 2000 or 20. ;^)

[Johnny Alien]

I honestly thought there was only one run of 30 of these but I want to get confirmation on that.

[Spiritfield]

I had heard 20-30 as I recall... I used to have one of these and it killed.
