    SOLD $550 shipped. paypal OK. 1.5 month old bass

    I've got a couple basses coming so I must sacrifice this beauty. Hand picked for me by Leo at the Lakland factory, the swamp ash grain is magnificent! Natural, rosewood and I had the factory put on silver knobs instead of black.

    Bart pre which is vol/blend then 3 band EQ and pull the volume for passive. Bite, punch, growl or mellow with the neck pup.

    Specs:

    Way off the deep end! Just like the 44-01, dual Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soapbars are coupled with the MK-1 preamp. The 44's and 55's have that deep Lakland cutaway on the high register side of the neck that allows easy access to ALL 22 frets up the neck for throwing licks on top of your grooves.

    And we have said it before: 35-inch scale necks make for killer low B's! That is why the low tones on Skyline 5-string basses boom with piano-like clarity!
