Lakland DJ5 - Nordstrand Pickups / JRetro Preamp / 3 Pickguards

[lsu921]

I got this on trade yesterday with no intention of keeping it. It's a beautiful bass in absolutely MINT condition, and has killer Jazz bass tone. Sounds better than the Sadowsky Metro I had, IMO. Passive mode is just flat out rockin'!! I just don't feel comfortable playing Fender style instruments.

- 2008 Lakland DJ5 in sweet Pearl White with Rosewood Board
- Nordstrand Pickups ($239) - NJ5FS
- J-Retro Preamp ($299) - http://www.bestbassgear.com/j-retro-preamp.htm
- 3 Pickguards (Pearl White, Tort, and Plain White)
- Gig Bag

The gig bag is pretty flimsy, so I'll offer a few options.

$1250 shipped in cheap bag, well packed.
$1390 shipped in a Mono M80 bag.
$1225 + cost of case shipped.

I'm not really looking for trades outside of a Zon 5, Spector Euro 5, Spector US Bolt-on 5, Flea 4, or MM Stingray Classic. Would also do partial on a MB LMIII, F1 or F500. Might also consider a 6.

Finally, some pictures!

If it is a 2009, it has been plek'd. Wow, what a bass!

I don't have an accurate scale, or any scale for that matter, at home. I'll try to get it weighed this week, and report back. It feels about the same as the 9.8 lb MTD that I just sold. It balances perfectly on a strap.

Out of curiosity... I thought that Lakland had moved the whole Skyline production to Indonesia in 2008. It's the first time I see a Korean 2009 Skyline. Beautiful bass nonetheless.
