Lakland Skyline 55-01
Nordstrand Big Singles
Nordstrand 3B 9v preamp (bass, push/pull switchable mid, treble, push/pull passive/active, passive tone control)
35" scale.
Ash body, maple neck with rosewood board. Cherry burst finish.
Comes with a mono gig bag.
Weighs 9 lbs on my bathroom scale.
There is an empty hole where the original passive switch was. I was looking for a black switch to leave blank purely for aesthetics or some sort of cover and just never got around to finding one that fit.
Upgraded the knobs. The stacked bass knob (stacked) doesn't quite go all the way down to the body but you can't tell unless you are inspecting closely.
There is a slight dark smudge for lack of a better term on the back where some of the finish has worn away. it was that way when I got it.
As of right this minute, the a-string's hipshot tuner is missing the bolt that holds the gear in place when you remove the string. Currently, it works perfectly as it is right now. It tunes and holds tune. If you unwind the a-string and remove it, the tuner shaft falls out. I have a replacement screw is on its way to me as I type this direct from hipshot so that won't be an issue unless it sells tonight and ships tomorrow in which case I will forward the screw on to the lucky new owner.
The bass is in good condition. It's been played. It has some mojo. It plays fantastic and sounds amazing and looks great! the mono bag is in great shape too.
Pix to follow... My camera is charging.
I'm looking for $850 shipped to the 48 states.
I am only selling because I'm going to try going back to solely 4-strings. I'd prefer a cash sale but will consider trades/partial trades for Lakland skyline 4's or Warwick thumbs. No 44-01's unless they are a nearly identical match to this in a 4-string.
