SOLD 1999 Lakland 4-94 Deluxe

I just recently picked this up, but have come to the conclusion I simply prefer passive basses...

For Sale: 1999 Lakland 4-94 Deluxe - Incredible example of an early 4-94. Made in the USA. Lightweight swamp ash body. Deluxe quilted maple top. Beautiful birdseye maple fretboard. Quartersawn maple neck. Bartolini pickups and preamp. Hipshot tuners (with added D-tuner). Weighs in at a very lightweight 8.7 lbs. Some small cosmetic wear (small dings/scratches) on the body, but nothing unusual for a 20 year old bass. Frets are in great shape. Back of the neck is clean and fast. Non-original hardshell case included.

$1600 + shipping. Price is very firm.

Sale is preferred, but I will consider trades for passive basses from Moollon, Serek, Lakland USA & Fender Custom Shop.

 

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)."

 

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.

 

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