Details

OK folks, this is killing me to part with these two basses, but I need to raise some cash to pay for my Sadowsky Metro purchase.

1. Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub in Candy Apple Red - rosewood fretboard, Ash body, mint PG, 34" scale, 1.75" nut (P-neck), Lakland pickups, passive tone control, original Lakland hardshell case. According to my bathroom scale - 8 lbs! I am the original owner of this gem - purchased new in summer of 2003. It is at least a 9/10. There are only 2 things that distinguish this bass from new - slight swirling on the pickguard (what bass doesn't have this?), and a slight dulling of the finish in a few spots along the top edge of the neck in a few spots (see photos.) This is currently strung with D'addario XL Chromes and has no issues whatsoever. It plays like a dream, has the classic P-bass vibe with a just a hint of more modern edge. Full specs on Lakland's site: http://www.lakland.com/basses/glaub.htm . $850 with OHSC, PayPal, shipped CONUS. Photos at: http://www.video-post.tv/Lakland_BG/


2. Lakland USA 55-94 Deluxe in Tobacco (or 3-Tone) Sunburst over beautiful Quilted Maple top - East Indian Rosewood with Birdseye Maple Dots, Swamp Ash body, 35" scale, 1.8" nut, Bartolini pickups, G&G tweed hardshell case. Serial number is 6088. According to my bathroom scale - between 9 and 9.5 lbs! I bought this in August of 2004, and have taken very good care of this gem. It is at least an 8.5/10. The slight imperfections I'm about to list were all there when I purchased her, but I want to be as up front as possible. On the 8th fret there is a small indentation about 1/2 of an inch long. The 10th fret also has a small ding, but neither of these affects playability. There are 2 small nicks (1 - 2mm) in the top horn (see photos - I had to take about 8 shots with different lighting to get the nicks to even show up.) And there's one more tiny nick in the top edge of the body where your arm rests - again, I had to really work to get it to show up in the pictures. (In fact, photos 11 and 12 are the same area, just with different lighting, so you can see how this little nick tends to disappear.) Currently strung with brand new Lakland Nickels. Full specs at: http://www.lakland.com/basses/55-94.htm . $1750 with OHSC, PayPal, shipped CONUS. Photos at: http://www.video-post.tv/Lakland_55-94/

Reasonable offers will be entertained. Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous bass. Did you install the Lakland PUPs recently?

I've heard the Lakland Jazz PUPs in a DJ but not their P one. Can you nail the classic P tones by rolling off the tone knob?

One Drop,

I don't have any info from the dealer I bought this from, so I was just going with the info on Lakland's web site. But now that you mention it, I'm not sure sure those are Lakland pups. Is it possible they are Fralins in a 2003 model? Basspraiser, what's in your '02?

Sorry for the confusion, if nobody here has a definitive answer, I'll check with Lakland on Monday to see if they can tell me.

OK, just to clarify...

After some investigating, I can say the pickups in the Bob Glaub ARE Fralins, not Laklands as I originally stated in the first post. Sorry for the mixup. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. :confused:

BTW, this Candy Apple Red is no longer available in the Skyline Glaubs. So grab this one while you still can!

OK, let's stir things up a little...

I'm opening up the Bob Glaub to trade offers as well as a cash deal.

Preferred trade items would be:
1. portable, higher-end amp (such as Eden WT550 or similar)
2. lightweight, but well-powered combo
3. decent fretless 4 or 5 (rosewood or ebony board)

Feel free to run anything else up the flagpole, and I'll see what cranks my tractor. OK, enough clichés.

The 55-94, however is still a 'for sale only' item for now.

I'll give these two fine basses a few more days here, and then they're off to the bay of e.

OK, kids. Last chance for awhile. Anyone want these? Any offers?

If not, they're going off the boards Monday and back into service until the market gets a little more 'real.'

Thanks to all those who made offers. Carry on.
