Relist- FS-Lakland Skyline LE LOG Bass

Gecko 5 · #1 04-22-2011, 08:47 PM

I am reposting this cause I could not change the title.

After 10 years of playing a 5 string exclusively, I'm taking my playing back to basics, which includes going back to a 4 string.
This is a Lakland Skyline in Butterscotch with rosewood.
The LOG bass was offered with three pickup options.
Mine has the Lakland-Hanson Vintage pickup. 35" scale.
Weight, according to my digital bathroom scale is 8.9 lbs.
This bass has less then an hour of play-time on it
It still has the plastic covers on the tuning gears.
As good condition as the day I got it.
No issues what-so-ever.
I do not currently have a case, but would get one at cost.

Certificate of Authenticity. Shows this is one of only 30 made

$1000 shipped to the CONUS

Bumpage for a GREAT bass (GREAT vintage tone) and a great guy......

Bumpage.
Word on the street is there is only one brand new one left.
This one is as clean, and $200 + less expensive

Gorgeous! It kills me that I just can't get around on a 35", I miss out on a lot of nice basses (including the 55-02 in my profile picture, I really miss that bass!)

So tempting... Looking for a P5.... been thinking about a Sadowsky, but this is at least $1000+ Cheaper !!!! PLEKed I assume ?? Hows the action ??

Gecko 5 · #7 04-27-2011, 02:32 PM

Yes PLEK'd
This is the third Skyline I've owned that was PLEK'd and the action is/was amazing on all 3

How's the B-String ?? My 55-02 has one of the best B strings around.

Gecko 5 · #9 04-27-2011, 02:53 PM

The same as all the other 5 string Laklans I've ownes (15-20)

Several people have asked about shipping overseas.
I'm just not comfortable doing it.

Sorry

Beautiful bass. PM'ed

A couple of people had suggested this bass would sell better if their was a case. So, yesterday I went and bought a used SKB for $50.
Because this bass is 35' scale, I had to remove about 1/2" of foam from the bridge end of the case.
It fits just fine

Trade bait.
Fender Road Worn Jazz (Sunburst OR Fiesta) +$
Music Man StingRay (no Subs or 34's)+$

That thing is so freaking killer...

Do you know the width at the nut? And the string spacing? If you know where the factory specs are posted that'd be fine too. Can you give any feedback on what the LH pup sounds like? Thanks.

Width at the nut is 1 3/4".
The string spacing is on Laklands site somewhere.
I will find it later today and post it.
Its the same for all Lakland 5 strings.
There are sound samples as well somewhere.
I will post those also.
Thanks
