FS Only: Near mint Lakland 55-02 w/Barts

jmfresh · #1 12-26-2010, 11:59 AM

Up for sale is a near mint Lakland 55-02 that I bought as new "old stock" last year. It's about as mint as you can get. I can't find a ding, scratch, or nick on the thing. I've played it every third week in the praise band at church (we have three teams), as well as home practice time. Not much use at all on this one.

It's a very late 2005 or early 2006 Korean model with the creamy smooth Barts. I actually picked this model over the newer ones with the LH3 as I prefer the sound of the Barts. I had it Plekked and set up by the Lakland guys in January of this year ($125).

It weighs about 9-9.5 pounds on my bathroom scale. I had a custom Jeannie's pickguard ($65) made without any screw holes. It's attached with a couple pieces of double-sided tape, totally secure. You can easily remove it if you wish for the full natural wood look.

It will ship bubble-wrapped in a one-year old SKB molded hardshell case ($120).

I'm asking ~~$1050~~ only $990 with shipping to CONUS only. Prefer check or money order, but Paypal okay. You can check my ebay profile of mafreshour for 100% positive feedback on 280 transactions. I can take any additional pictures that you want.

Thanks for the kind words. It really is a beautiful bass. Would make a fantastic post-Christmas gift to someone who's looking for something special on which to spend their Christmas money.

Thanks for the kind words. I wish I was open for trades; this bass would have been gone a long time ago. But, alas, I need the funds for another project.
