Lakland Skyline Decade, 78 Gibson Grabber w/ Darkstar!, 05/06 EBMM stingray 4
 
SOLD!Up on the block is a first run Lakland Skyline Decade, I picked it up right after they released them and I never got used to the jazz width neck. This bass sounds and plays like a dream, I just can't get past the skinny neck! It has minor buckle rash on the back and a small ding near the knobs at the bridge from an on stage collision. Bass weighs in at 9 lbs even. Asking $800.

SOLDNext up is a 78 Gibson Grabber with a darkstar! This bass is in great condition and is a killer player bass. At some point in it's life somebody replaced all the cheapo gibson tuning keys with hipshots and it's got a hipshot detuner as well. Comes with a very beat up gibson hardcase that is period correct for a grabber. Bass weighs in at 9 lbs even. Asking $1050







SOLDI'm looking to sell this great EBMM ray 4h, It's been in my possession since I bought it brand new, gigged pretty heavy. It's not mint but it is a great player, comes with a black and a white pearloid pickguard. It's currently tuned BEAD but it required no modification to tune it like that. Asking $925 shipped. Bass weighs in at 9.2 lbs.
Possible trades considered!

edit: New Pictures!

Would love to trade any 2 of these for a Sonic Blue American Vintage Fender P!

does the Darkstar still move on the Grabber?

SoLongJake 03-02-2013 01:59 PM

It does, but i have some foam bits holding it where it is, because I didn't like/need to move it.

SoLongJake 03-03-2013 06:44 AM

Lakland is sold! The other two are still on the block!

MusicMan is heading out as well, It's now SOLD.

The Darkstar in the Grabber is one of the best ideas I have seen for that bass. I used to have 2 of them, probably would have kept them with that pickup... :bassist:

SoLongJake 03-04-2013 09:21 AM

It fit in with no modifications at all, the original pickup was one of those filled with epoxy amalgamations. Due to the nature of the sliding pickup, the leads shorted out. Well the dark star sounds like a beast in there, thunderous sounding!

SoLongJake 03-07-2013 10:12 AM

I was digging around last night and found the original Pickup for the grabber with the shorted out lead, in case whoever is interested in it.

Price lowered on the grabber to 1050!
