******************* SOLD !! **************************
This is an awesome bass, but I have to sell because I found something else and need the cash. Just to mention now, this is For Sale only, no trade offers please.
I bought this a few months ago from another TB'r - when the bass came in, there were a few small electronics issues - a broken wire, loose pots. I took it to my local tech/guru and he completely redid the wiring and checked all the connections, tightened all the pots, smoothed off the sharp fret edges and also did a complete shielding job on the control cavity. {See Ron or Pete at Suburban Guitars for excellent work!}
The bass is a natural Lakland Skyline with maple board, and the previous owner installed Nordstrand Big Single pickups and a Bartolini NTMB preamp (9v). I have owned a stock 55-01 and can testify that the upgrades made to this bass put it in a whole other class as far as tone and sound options, especially with the mid control with 2 selectable center frequencies.
35" scale, 19mm string spacing (perfect for slapping), flat wide neck (like all 55-01/55-02..). Bass will ship in a Gator semi-hard bass case (as I got it). For full disclosure I am mentioning a slight crack in the finish on the body portion at the neck joint. (see pics) Besides that, this thing looks like it is brand spankin' new. (see pics!
)
Currently strung with DR Lo Riders.
I wouldn't be opposed to keeping this, but my wife's rule is one in, one out, and we have to keep the other half happy.
$775 shipped CON US, paypal or postal money order accepted. ** SOLD! **

Thanks!
