Details

Up for trade is my upgraded Lakland Skyline 5501, loaded with Bartolini MK5's and NTMB preamp. Maple board on blonde finished body with attractive grain. One cosmetic issue that is hard to see in a photo, there is a crack in the lacquer on the lower bout that goes the same direction of the grain. Tough to see, but it is there.

Aside from the cosmetic issue, the bass has no problems. It plays -very- smoothly and has a nice modern sound, however I rarely grab it anymore and prefer my Fender for gigs.

Open to trade suggestions, I don't really have my eye out on anything in particular. This is a GREAT players' bass and someone should be using it more than I do!

Thanks for looking and please do drop me a line if you would like to consider a trade!

I guess that eliminates a Fender Active Deluxe Jazz V sunburst, 3 months old ??

These are my original purchase pics from Sweetwater with serial number. At work now, I will send a current live pic which also has a new 3 band preamp with black knobs later this evening.

Newly added 3 band 5 knob bassmods preamp. Sorry for the poor picture quailty. Now this Jazz V has killer tone options.

Thank you for these. After some thought I think I am going to pass on the Fender - it seems like a really nice axe but I would like to go for more diversity (or even a non-instrument trade if a cool amp or something shows up). Thanks anyway and sorry to take up so much of your time.

It's all good my friend, I too am looking to diversify away the Fender fleet of basses.

Getting some really nice trade offers! I will have to add though, I am pretty much Fender'd up at the moment! The only Fender I would be interested in is a fretless at this point. Preferably unlined :)

All PM's replied to. Thanks for the awesome offers everyone, but I am all set on fretted jazz basses! Still available. :)

I'm into G&L w/ humbuckers (1500, 2000, etc), unlined fretless fenders, but am willing to consider just about anything apart from fretted jazzes!

I have a fretless 5 for sale/ trade...maybe that would scratch both our itches. I need a fretted 5er backup.
