SOLD FS Feeler: US Lakland 44-51 Serial Number #1

Traded

For sale: 2011 US Lakland 44-51, serial number #1. Yes, this is the NAMM bass! Yup, the same one that is photographed with James "Hutch" Hutchinson, John Stirratt and also signed by Uriah Duffy.

I just got this bass from another TB'r and LOG member in a trade, but the slab body is just not my thing. Otherwise, this is probably one of the finest Laklands I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Great neck feel and balances very nicely. The back of the neck has a bit of flame to it with a birdseye maple board and ebony markers.

Minor player wear, nothing to speak of except a single small ding about two inches to the right of the string ferrules on the back. I will also include a set of chrome Dunlop strap pins.

I know what you mean the tone just kills with the single coil - which is dead silent BTW - in the sweet spot. Very tough call on my part because of this. But, given my right shoulder issues, ergonomics wins out.

Not really interested in trades at this point, but I could change my mind at any time

 

A couple more pics showing Duffy and Hutch at NAMM with the bass.

 

Thanks Markus.

BTW - I just put a new set of Fender 7250's on the bass that I had laying around. I'm also not a flats guy

Sounded great with the flats on it. Like you said, really pushes some air, but like the Doude, I prefer some zing!

 

Just played this again last night, can't believe the tone that erupts out of this thing.

 

No worries Uriah, I don't think your signature diminishes the value in any way. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look, glad you liked the pics.

 

I can't believe no one has asked the obligatory, "weight?" question

 

Nice one and thank you!

Open to reasonable offers...

 

I know, why couldn't it have been left black

Did I mention, it comes with an original cream Lakland case? These are getting harder to come by.

 

Thanks MrF!

Going to go even one better. Price drop to $2199.00. And I'll also include one very slightly used Neotech Mega Bass Strap
