First off - No Trades (ever) - No Offers (for now) - 900 shipped
I've bought this bass THREE times over the ten years I've owned it. And, who knows, I just might buy it again someday. I've owned MANY USA and Skyline Laklands, and place this Skyline and one other I've owned in league with their USA series. It also happens to be the first Lakland I've ever bought - and I still remember the moment I saw it, blushed at the price tag (for a low-20something guy in bands) and sheepishly asked to play it after some hesitation. I fell in love and immediately bought it.
Since then, I've played hundreds of shows across the country with it. See those areas of wear on the neck? Those are from my hands. Frets show wear, but still have plenty of life. Check the pics for reference!
Since I last bought it back, I gave it this SUPER COOL refin and hung it up on display in my home. I've taken it out very rarely and let it be a sentimental visual in my home, but I feel like it's finally time to let her go again and let someone else enjoy this fantastic instrument.
SPECS and UPGRADES:
-2008 Indonesian DJ4. Likely their very first run in the new facility, living up to the hype and standards of the Korean counterparts that came before them. I owned a 2003 first run Korean DJ4 and felt like this one beat it out in quality and playability.
-CUSTOM FINISH! From Marty Bell, my preferred finishing source. Originally natural, now trans white to charcoal metallic frost stripes on either side of a surf green filling. Mmmm....
-USA Hipshot lollipops
-Bone nut upgrade
-New electronic wiring, full shielding (quiet!) and new tone cap
-Dunlop Straplocks, like you'll get with the USA Laklands.
-8.968lbs
-Will ship in a new gig bag
