Wow great color and a super price to boot... shipping is quite high though for my taste. 
Peace,

I realize that $40 is higher than the normal $25 - $30, but the bass is only $599. Even at $639, that's still a great price, 1/2 of a new one.
The only thing that would give me concern, is a the fact that it seems to be CAR.
Has Lakland ever offered a CAR 44-02, cause I know they don't now?

And it's not trying to cover something up.
They disclose a scratch by the bolts on the back.
My buddy snatched it up and I'm sure he'll be happy with it. Looks like a nice bass!

I wasn't implying there was anything wrong with the bass...
If I were your friend, though, I'd email Dan Lakin and see if it was part of a special run, just to satisfy my own curiosity, cause that is definitely not a standard color for a Skyline.
Hope he really enjoys it.
It's a beautiful bass, and I love 44-0*s

Thanks for the info.
As pretty as Transparent Burgundy is, you'd think there would be more of them around.

Not sure of the years but earlier in history Lakland did offer the 44-02 in CAR. Discontinued because it wasn't peeling off the shelves as they'd hoped, so they made room for other colors. This happened with all but the Duck Dunn models I believe. Still offered as a custom option though.
