Lakland US Bob Glaub w/ Dark Star Pick Ups

buffordbass · #1 12-06-2010, 07:53 AM

OK, I have another bass in my sights..
so lets do $1500 shipped ConUS

This one was originally built for Greg Rzab in CAR with a Dark Star Pick up. Now those who have not had an opportunity to play a Dark Star bass... well let's just say that it makes a P-Bass all that it should be.
This bass is only for sale due to the needed cash, not a thing about the bass!!! The only negative on the bass is that if you look closely, the headstock color is slightly off from the body color, but it came from the factory this way. She is wearing a fairly new set of sunbeams and is simply magnificent! I had this bass, sold it, then bought it back... and if my financial situation changes I may come try to get it again...
The bass & brown hard shell case (may be a C&C but it is what shipped with US Laklands at the time) will be shipped to the lower 48 for $1600. Note: the middle latch on the case is broken, but the two end catches are fine.
PM or e-mail with questions, offers, comments, etc...
Trade interests would include Skyline Glaubs with maple necks plus cash.
I do accept paypal, but please dont ask me to ship this internationally. Pics are bad, but all I have right now. If you need to see more, let me know.
Thanks.

Hey Terry, is that a pau ferro or rosewood fretboard? Really looks pau ferro-ish :-)

BTW, your price is insane! Someone buy this before I lose control!

buffordbass · #8 12-08-2010, 01:06 PM

It is rosewood, with no dots...
Thanks

Bump for one of the best TB'ers around.

This price is insane!!!

Damn, very nice!

RockBoxBass · #12 12-09-2010, 11:08 AM

whats the weight on this badboy?? Can you explain the tone diff between this and a reg p? Fuller? focused? brighter? less or more mid? thansk..

MarkusBass · #13 12-09-2010, 11:15 AM

I can jump in here on the tone since I have one too. Rounder, deeper, more detailed highs compared to a standard P bass.

Man, there are Skylines selling all day long without a case of any sort and for prices that kiss this deal for a Custom USA Lakland with DarkStars. It doesn't get any better than this

Terry is one of the most respected forum members. This is the real deal.

MarkusBass · #16 12-09-2010, 11:31 AM

Yeah...I would have snapped this one up in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one. Terry is a great guy too!

JEDI BASS · #17 12-09-2010, 11:51 AM

P basses w/ singles coils are my personal favorite kind of P. I'd still have mine if I was more of a P bass kinda guy.

From my memory, the DS pup doesn't suffer from the same issues that most folks say a tele style does: spikey w/ weak bottom. I guess that's why they're so sought after.

buffordbass · #18 12-10-2010, 07:16 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys...

BASSATTACK · #19 12-10-2010, 07:18 AM

Bufford, is this up on the 'Bay too? I saw a clone of this bass yesterday surfing the web (granted, for $1000 more)...

buffordbass · #20 12-10-2010, 07:32 AM

It is on the bay, but not at this price!!! (Though not $1,00 more...)
