For Trade: Lakland Skyline Decade

I just bought this bass two weeks ago, but I am realizing that I really want a traditional jazz bass. The bass is in NEW condition with no marks or dings. No issues. Sounds fantastic...I just bought it to try it and now I really want a Jazz again. The Decade didn't come with a case, but I could add a soft/hardshell case (like a Sadowsky) that fits it perfectly for the right trade. This is a PLEK'D Lakland.

I will sell this outright...I'm just really looking for trades. $1200 to buy outright. This thing is new!
Here are my trade ideas: only 4's
-Lakland Skyline DJ or JO
-Nash Jazz
-Musicman Stingray HH black/maple
-Musicman Stingray 30th Anniversary
-G&L JB w/ gun oil tint neck
-G&L JB-2 w/ gun oil tint neck
-ESP Series 400 Jazz + cash
-Hamer Cruisebass USA 2-Tek + cash
-'08 or newer Fender USA Jazz + cash
-other offers??? I'll trade my Decade + Ampeg B-15N for an Alleva Coppolo

another PM replied. I love PJ instruments and that is why I currently have 2 in my stable. I am looking for a traditional J instrument with two J single coils or another bass listed in my trade options.

The wood selection on this is as good as I have seen on a Skyline Decade in quite a while.

With the fit and finish, it looks like they were having a very good day in Indonesia. Nicely done.

Not every day Lakland has in Indonesia is a good one.

It really is a beautiful mahogany body. I've had quite a few 30th Anniversary Stingrays with Mahogany bodies and this one easily ranks up there with those in terms of the grain and beauty.

Where in dixieland are you? I don't really feel too much like shipping anything right now, but my mind might change randomly one day

I can vouch for this TB'er, if he says it's brand new and pristine then you can bank on it being in even better condition than that. Thanks again for the Berg, that thing is fantastic!!!!
