For Sale Lakland 55-01D

Lakland 55-01 Deluxe
Quilt maple top over ash, 22 fret rosewood board over graphite-reinforced flat-sawn maple neck
35” scale, ¾” string spacing at the bridge
Bart Mk 1 p’ups and pre (3-band)
New Lakland nickel roundwounds
Extra set of Sadowsky flats
Ships in gig bag
$575 shipped in CONUS only
Payment by non-CC Paypal or money order

I bought this used, and it’s been my main player for the last 3 years. It comes with a brand new set of Lakland nickel RWs. I will include a set of Sadowsky flats (made by Labella) that were on the bass for 6-8 months, nicely broken in.

There are two marks on the back of the headstock and Allen key marks at the edge of the truss rod access hole. There is one small dent at the back of the neck opposite to and between the 5th and 6th fret. I made an extra effort to photograph these cosmetic defects clearly. Thanks for looking.

wow, that is tempting...i wish i didn't just buy a 5-er...

[elwood]

The Spector in your sig? I bet it's nice. The ones I've seen were beautiful, but the necks weren't to my liking, as I like a thin neck. Sound great, though.

[p0k]

yeah, the one in my sig...i actually haven't got it yet (its in the mail)...hope i like it! if not i could always sell it and buy this

[allexcosta]

If it wasn't for the Barts...

[elwood]

Barts is all they come with from Lakland, AFAIK. If someone has money to burn, I believe Nordstrand make p'ups that will drop in the routs. Me, I try to buy what I like to begin with, as the upgrade path can be more expensive in the long run. I did a monstrous upgrade on my fretless, and it was like that.

hold that thought...

[allenhumble]

that is the nicest 5501 I have seen yet. Great basses and yes the Nordstrands will drop in.

[MadMark5]

how is this bass still here?
yes I'm a lakland homer but deluxe 55-01's are rare...

good luck with the sale...

[elwood]

Thanks, and thanks for bumping my thread!

[McHack]

Looks just like my 55-01D, only w/o the damage... & I slapped in a Bart NTMB. That's a good deal..

What's the difference between a "55-01" and a "55-01D"...?

[g00eY]

I think this is the only Lakland I've seen with a finish/wood combo like that.

"D" means "Deluxe", which means it has the figured wood veneer on the top.

Good grief, how is this still here?
She's a bad mutha, cute too, and a sweet price...

[Justyn]

She's still here because I can't afford a non-CC paypal payment right now. Pretty sure that's about the only reason

You might be hearing from me in the few days. Seriously.
