For sale FS: Lakland 5501 - Modded & Hot rodded

Not interested in another bass at the moment, but I am looking for a Marcus Retro, or a J retro for a Marcus Miller V plus cash.

Also, This is a long shot on this forum, but possibly interested in a Yamaha WX5 with VL70m included.

The bass will come with black knobs, I need the chrome ones for another project.

@bufford bass, I guess my pics didn't bring you back to life.

Let's just be honest- those photos suck.

But I've had these basses before, and basses with those mods, and DAMN! These basses are amazing, and at this price, this shouldn't be here that long.

Good luck with the sale.

I just saw your post..;. she IS a beauty, it's just a money thing or I would be sending you my address!
This is going to be gone quickly. Good luck.

@Armbruster, I'm sorry my amateur bass porn disappointed you (LOL). I'm a lover not a fighter, I'm a doer not just a hearer, I'm a musician not a photographer. Pics may suck, bass does not!! (LOL). Happy memorial day to all the families who have helped to serve our country!!

I've been getting PM offers to part this bass out. That would be a a shame but I'm willing to entertain it.

The only reason this bass is being sold is because its 35" scale. If I wasn't playing the saxophone already it wouldn't matter but hands/wrists know the difference with all the time I put in on my horn.

Here are 2 scenarios:

Scenario 1
I've already had 2 offers for the MK5 Bartolini pickups. 150 plus shipping in the continental U.S.

Audere classic 4 band preamp 100.00 shipping included

Lakland 5501 stock electronics $600.00.

Need at least a bass buyer and a pickup buyer simultaneously, I can always use the Audere later.


Scenario 2

I will put the stock pickups back in and leave the Audere preamp. $700.00 shipping included in the continental. The bass sounded great like this but the MK5's took it over the top. Still better than most basses out there and you can always upgrade the pickups later. You probably won't though.

Need a bass buyer and a pickup buyer simultaneously.

I would rather sell the bass like it is and I don't want somebody to come along and wish I wouldn't have parted it out. If 2 people are interested at once everybody is happy.

Nordy Big singles swap out no longer available. Nordy's are sold.

Sunday bump

@Bufford bass, I think your "gone quick" comment jinxed my sale. LOL!!

Friday afternoon bump

Going going gone. My bass has a new home.
