For sale 1999 Lakland 4-94 Deluxe

Oh man, this one's back!

So tempting

US Laklands play so nice, and that one's gorgeous. I've had several. Why not just run it passive or convert it to passive?

That is my old 4-94
It is a great playing and sounding bass. I added that Dtuner

Such an amazing well-designed instrument. I absolutely love mine. And what an incredible deal!

Friggin Gorgeous! Oh myyy...

Awesome bass, fantastic price. Happiness coming to someone, soon.

This just isn't fair at that price!

Stupid question on these: is pickup selector 3 way coil tap option? Like front coil, both coils, rear coil?

Not as stupid question: is dark spot near 12th fret discoloration in the fingerboard wood or a shadow?

The dark spot near the 11th/12th frets between the E & A strings is a shadow. That said, there is some player wear/discoloration on the fret board. The good ones get played for a reason!

Regarding the switch, I found the following description in an old post from Gard very helpful:

"Lakland's selector is a true coil selector switch. The pickup itself is a quad coil pickup, and is wired so that you can run the bridge pair, the neck pair, or all four coils at once. With the switch toward the bridge, only the bridge coils are on, and it gives the tone of a single coil pickup at the bridge; with the switch toward the neck, only the neck coils are on giving the tone of a single coil in the "sweet spot" (think 50's era P bass); with the switch in the middle position, both sets of coils are on in the series configuration, giving the "classic MusicMan Stingray" tone (or a very close approximation of it)."

Groovy, thanks!

If I was a pro and needed a spare I'd be all over this. My '98 4-94 is such a wonderful bass with an amazing neck. This one looks like it's made from the same batch of wood. That's really a great price.

Thanks! The neck is one of the finest I’ve played, hands down. I just favor passive basses these days. I would love to trade this for an early Lakland J or P.

You can't go wrong with these. I have a yr 2000 4-94 Dlx I will never part with. I have a few basses and I always seem to grab the Lakland. The US necks are just so awesome, and the bass can cop so many sounds.

This is a STEAL. At that price, why not just give it away for free to a deserving player?!
What is the S/N?
I have S/N 093, and it is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Heck, I'm tempted to buy yours just because it is so cheap.
Perhaps the reason it hasn't sold instantly is those little cymbal collision marks on the headstock.
Lesson learned: Fire the drummer!!

Thanks, it’s a killer deal. I feel the price more than compensates for the player wear/headstock dings.

On hold pending payment
