    I'm putting my Skyline Decade on the block. I'm really a 5 string guy, and every time I deviate from that formula it doesn't work out. I think at this point I've learned my lesson.

    Anyway, this is a decade with the humbucking ChiSonic pickups (switchable to single coil) and active LH3 preamp. This is a fairly rare bird -- I haven't seen another with the LH3 preamp for sale anywhere. This bass was Pleked, like all newer Skylines. It's minty fresh, and only two months old. No blemishes other than a swirl or two on the pickguard. I added Dunlop dual design straplocks.

    Will throw in a new Lakland-branded Levi's gig bag!
    I'm asking $1199 shipped, FedEX ground within the ConUS. Paypal ECheck preferred.

    The only trades I am interested in:

    5 string Dingwall
    F Bass BN5
    or maaaybe the right Roscoe 5
    (I'll throw in cash toward any of these)

    Thanks!

    Awesome! I want to buy every bass. So far my wishlist, including this bass, is at $32,657,988.47. If I win the Powerball I *WILL* own all the basses! Bwah-hahahahaha!

    NEway - I love the look of this bass. I'm a huge Lakland fan. So if you decide you might consider trades at some point lemme know. No, I have me no Dingwalls. I have me no Dingwalls today.

    :D

  9. Hmm... Interesting. I'll see what I can do. If I can sell my Bongo (it looks as though I may have an interested buyer) I'll be all over this. If not, good luck! Gorgeous bass.

    bump for new pics!!!
     
  18. How do you switch the pickups to single coil mode, and I was under the impression that all Laklands came with straplok's standard?

    Peace,

    The Skyline models come with Schaller lock pins. I switched them to Dunlop because all of my other instruments have the Dunlop locks. I can throw the OEM Schaller pins in with the bass.

    Chanson is correct, there is a two position switch that will put both pickups into single coil or humbucking mode.
