FT/FS: Lakland 55-94 Limited Edition Buckeye Burl

rodneyat · #1 10-20-2009, 07:12 AM

There are only a few of these in existence. I am still not sure I want to do it but figured I would throw the feeler out there. The bass has an ash body with a GORGEOUS Buckeye Burl top. 35" scale rosewood board with birds-eye maple dots. Lakland Pickups and preamp. Right at 9lbs or a little under. Lightweight and plays like butter!

The bass is totally mint and comes with a brand spankin' new cream Lakland hard case and case candy.

Trades: I am mostly interested in other boutique 5 stringers like Sadowsky, Nordy and maybe Alleva Coppolo. 34" scale 19mm spacing. I am also looking for an early to mid 90's Stingray 5.

For an outright sale $2800.

I just got mine and I can say the same thing. you will be sorry once it's gone, there not that many around with this finish. this bass is awsome. there onlything that mine doesn't have and yours have, is the rosewood fretboard. I like the rosewood better.

Well, I am still not 100% sure I want to do it...It will really take the right bass or an outright sale for me to consider it. Yes, I will probably regret it...This is my 3rd Lakland. I have liked them all and end up getting them again and again. Maybe I will learn my lesson some day!

That is my old bass. Rodney think real hard. I still regret selling it. If I had the $ it would be mine already. I will back up Rodney's comments about it being an awesome bass.

Wow! That is weird. I was looking at this listing from my work computer, and NO pics showed up.

Now I'm home, and all pics are there in the original post.

Sorry bout that! Cannot say what's up with that . . .

OK, I am starting to come to my senses and thinking about keeping this thing. I spent a good bit of time playing it over the past couple of days. It is killer, for sure. Unless something comes up that I just cannot refuse...I may just hold on to it.

Wow, that was yours? What were you thinking when you sold
it? I assume it was to fund some of the other stuff you brought the other day to heavychevy's place. Or so I hope.

If it was a 4, I would pawn a family member for it.

Rodney, all I can say is you'll be sorry ...

The only reason why I got rid of it was because of the rosewood fingerboard. I replaced it with the maple fingerboard blonde Lakland you saw at the GTG. I have found that over the years I have become more of a maple person. Otherwise I would have kept the bass. It is an awesome bass. Whom ever buys this will be getting a very special Lakland.

I saw that one. Sweet! I never got to play it though I meant to.
The beer was too distracting, hehe.

I am partial to maple as well.

Dude, That is a friggin beauty. You're making everyone drool. Take everybody's advise and don't sell it.

Want your Deep 5 back with a HSC?

rodneyat · #16 11-01-2009, 03:43 PM

That deep was quite cool..I actually have a Mouse that covers the upright like sound for me. As for the Lakland..I have decided to hold on to it. I would be crazy to let it go.

**davidjbass** · #17 11-01-2009, 06:42 PM

Good move Rodney. I am glad it's staying with you.

**Thor** · #18 11-02-2009, 10:43 AM

Given that, you should proabably close the thread.
