Hi all,
This bass is SOLD.
Up for sale is a 2002 model Lakland 55-01 5-string bass (35" scale). Last month the preamp was upgraded to a new Bartolini 5.2 A/P (active/passive) preamp, and added a brand new Switchcraft jack. I recently restrung with round wounds.
The only flaw is a minor finish crack near one of the tone pots, which occurred during the preamp install.
This thing sounds great! Massive low end on the B string, lots of sustain. The only reason I'm selling it is I really tend to prefer 4-string passives, and would prefer to have the cash toward that end (or just to pay some bills).
Looking for $550 shipped, or best offer. I'm also willing to reduce the price for those fairly local to the DC/MD/VA/PA/WV/DE area if you want to meet halfway to arrange a pickup. Payment via PayPal.
I'm possibly open for trades or trade with cash, including four string passive basses (anything with a Darkstar pickup, G&L, or Lakland Skyline Decade/Dunn/Glaub), higher end effects pedals (delays, reverbs, compressors, EHX POG2 or Voice Box), etc., Orange or Trace Elliot cabs, or any kind of all-tube amps (guitar or bass). Outright sale greatly preferred.
Thanks,
Clay

VG: PM replied.
Still available! |

It's a 2002 model. If you happen to know if Laklands were Plek'd back then, that would likely be the answer. |
