Lakland 55-01 $535 Shipped

[TripleDouble]

Hello,

Here's a link to the the natural finish 55-01 I am selling:

Lakland 55-01 - Nat/RW

It is exactly as it appears, plus a small ding on the edge of the truss rod cavity. I can attempt to take cell phone pictures of this, but will probably fail. Plays amazingly-great feel and though I don't know if it was ever PLEK'd, the action can get very low. Great bass for doing mods, but i thought it sounds killer as-is. Currently has very dead roundwounds on it, and I will ship it in a cheapo case or bag.

Please PM with questions, and though I probably won't do a trade, it can't hurt to offer. $535 Shipped Lower 48 only, Paypal only.

Thanks for looking.

Hump day Bump hey

I'm assuming this is a Skyline?

[TripleDouble]

Yes, this is a skyline.

[kai_ski]

what does this guy weigh?

[vintageampeg]

is it just me or is this an amazing price for a quality fiver??

[TripleDouble]

I'm not sure about weight, I don't own a scale. It's less than my 4 string sterling or jazz basses though, but a bit more than an old strat and 335 . 9lbs?

A few folks are interested, but still no deal sealers yet.

55-01's are skylines. always. and the same with 44-01's.


Nice bass bro!

[ghostjs]

i got a fender Jazz FSR MIM 2008 up for grabs. i can also add a good strap and gig bag cuz its 12lbs and maybe $75?

[K-Frog]

This is a great bass at a great price. I don't understand why it's still here

[TripleDouble]

Thanks fo the offer ghostjs, but I'm going to pass.

I'm kind of surprised this is still here too, along with some other things i thought I'd priced semi-low to move quickly. Perhaps it's a bad time of year for selling.

I should add it comes shipped in a gig bag, or for an additional $15 I'll ship it in brand new Rondo faux tweed case. The tweed is actually printed vinyl, it's funny but a good case.

Nice.
I just sold my 55-02 and I'm still sad about it!
I must say...the bartolini mk pick ups that these have are some of my favorite for shows. I had a set in a bass I used to own and the were nice and hot. The smallest turn of the eq gave a killer boost...very versatile.

I agree, plenty of boost and cut for all the boom/growl/honk/sizzle you need. I know there's almost always some improvement/upgrade available but it makes me wonder why people are so quick to swaps pickups/preamp on these. I have no desire to change mine.

+1 on the electronics, I think they sound great, and this coming from a 20+ year compulsive pickup upgrader. I think it's partly because the Nordstrands look incredibly cool in these basses.

I'll be quiet now before the Bump Police swarm in..

[buffordbass]

just shows how bad the economy is since this one is still here...

Ditto... The Nordies do look cool in the 5501's.
I'm looking for a more open sound that I think the Nordstrands will provide along with a pre that has separate volume controls for each pup.

Nice woodgrain.....Free bump

[TripleDouble]

Glad it's payday since I'm starting to think this may never sell and I'm kind of baffled Bump.

[TripleDouble]

Deal fell through bumpin'.

[JazzyJames]
