It was wrong of me to buy this bass on impulse just because I love Lakin-era Laklands, and I have been shown the error of my ways. All-original Bartolini pickups and preamp Weighs 8.7 lbs Hipshot D-Tuner Birdseye maple neck (gorgeous!) Plays and Sounds Like a Dan Lakin Era Lakland Should (Fantastic and Versatile) Fresh set-up job and a new set of DR Sunbeams $1800 shipped CONUS Would much prefer an outright sale (I paid cash for this one), but I can consider trades. --Good 5-string, plus or minus cash (G&L M2500 or L2500, Yamaha BBNE2, Lull jazz, Sadowsky Metro with single coils) --Nice fretless 4-string --Rick Turner Renaissance fretted six string (no chance of finding one of these, I know) --nice German frog bass bow {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
