Details

2012 Lakland Joe Osborn (AKA Lakland 44-60) for sale. What a cool instrument! This one in particular has an amazing feel. It's such a pleasure to play.

I'm sure you guys know this, but this bass is Modeled after a 1960 Fender Jazz bass, so it has the stacked volume / tone knobs for each pickup, offering great tone versatility for a passive bass. Action is super low and can go even lower if you have a light touch. The bass is practically brand new - I'm the second owner and it still has a new instrument smell, look, and feel to it. The neck is SO pretty (birdseye maple fingerboard). I know this gets said a lot, but the photos totally don't do this bass justice.

To view all of the photos, check out the first 20 pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/christianharger

Notice the ding in photo #19. It's the only only ONLY cosmetic wear I could find, and in that photo I purposely positioned it so it was glaring. As you can see from the other photos of the body, that ding is hard to find unless you're really looking for it.

Also, I was going to do a video to sort of demo the bass, but the library Lakland has of the sound clips is just so fantastic. Listen here: http://lakland.com/ac_usjo.htm
It makes total sense, but that is EXACTLY how this bass sounds.



Comes with the HSC of course (very cool - tweed).

$2,300 shipped, OBO.

I have a US Glaub with a Jazz taper in natural/maple. I cannot stress enough what incredible basses these are. GLWTS.

right you are! don't you have a Lakland that looks similar to this one (natural w/ black guard)?

My skyline DJ was natural with a black guard, just like this, but I sold it and later bought it back. The other owner gave it a sunburst refin...but dang, the natural + black look is great!

I just bought a Lakland Skyline JO on TB and absolutely
love it. I'm sure whoever buys your beauty will feel the
same about this well-crafted and super flexible bass.

Played my first gig with it a couple of nights ago and it
passed with flying colors. Great look, great sound, and
sweet to play.

GLWTS
