My wonderful wife just found some stains on our bathroom ceiling. I was not going to put a new roof on my house because I didn't feel it was necessary. BUT, I guess this is a sign that it finally needs done. So I'm putting my 6 string needs aside and saving for a new roof.
I've been on the fence about this, but here it goes. This is a 1 of 30 Lakland LOG (Lakland Owners' Group) P5. They apparently made these based off the opinions of the Lakland Owners' Group members. It is based on the Bob Glaub signature P basses from Lakland with a transparent butterscotch finish (only offered on US Laklands) over an Ash body. It has a maple neck and had two fingerboard options: Maple w/ black block inlays or Rosewood w/ pearl inlays. Mine is the maple version. They also had two p/up options. The standard is a beautifully fat sounding Norstrand NP-5. Or it could've been ordered with a Chi-sonic p/up at an additional charge.
Here's more specs:
- Ash body
- 35" scale Maple neck/board w/ block inlays
- Nordstrand NP-5 p/up
- Wide (19mm) spacing
- Hipshot hardware
- Gator HSC
- Certificate of authenticity signed by the CEO of Lakland
This bass is in mint condition. I wiped the body, neck, tuners, bridge, and strings down w/ a microfiber cloth after each time I handled it. I'm a bit of a klutz and tend add accidental 'character' marks to my instruments, so I was paranoid to play this. I played it less than 10 times.
- For non-LOG members, this bass was $1150 + S&H. This also has the $100 Gator HSC.
I'm looking to get $950 + S&H for it. I know that's very close to the new price for this thing, but you can't exactly just go buy one like this. There's only 30 of them! And that's still cheaper than a Fender P5 AND you get 35" scale!
