Hey guys and gals, up for sale is my Lakland Jerry Scheff 4 String in Inca Silver. For those not in the know, these basses are currently out of production and have this amazing old school tone that's obviously inspired by the old Danelectros, but it can get pretty close to fender-style sounds as well (and there's very few Inca Silver ones being traded on TB so also pretty rare). I'm packaging both a fretless (currently installed) and the original fretted neck with it, as it was sold to me this way and I'd rather not part it out separately. Always have the best of both worlds with this deal!
Here's the stats:
-34" Scale
-Aprroximately 9 lbs
-Armstrong Chrome Lipstick Tube Pickups
-Bartolini PreAmp and 3 Band EQ
-Active/Passive Switch (push/Pull volume knob)
-Mirrored Pick Guard
-Ebony Lined Fretless Neck (White lines)
-Rosewood Fretted Neck
This bass was originally owned by IanAllison and RumbleBeeAL of TB; the former of the two actually recorded the sound clip files for Lakland's Jerry Scheff demo page with this very bass! So go here if you wanna hear this exact bass in action in various styles of music with various pickup AND string combinations:

What you hear is exactly what this bass can do, it seriously kicks a$$ tone wise. I'm gonna miss this bass for sure, but there's another bass on TB that's caught my eye and for the styles of music I currently work on, it's getting the least amount of action compared to my Sadowsky and Fender. Comes installed with the neck of your choice and Joe Osborn flatwound strings. The other neck will be wrapped separately and then shipped together with the bass (bass in lakland gig bag). Also, and the knobs on the volume and blend knobs aren't the originals, but I have the originals if you would rather those installed. Let me know if you have any questions.
Looking for $1050 Shipped within the CONUS, but willing to ship anywhere as long as your feedback is positive (additional shipping charges may apply). Not really interested in trades right now as I already have my eye set on something else
HOWEVER if you have a 5-string with a J/MM or P/MM pickup combo that's under 10 lbs, let me know...
