I've been going to Amazon for the last couple of weeks and typing in "Lakland 55" and they have a Lakland Skyline Series L5560CR3TS 5-Strings Bass Guitar, Three Tone Sunburst that has a price that fluctuates wildly. Today it's a crazy low of $883.00

I'd pull the trigger but I'm so broke....

Wow. Crappy time to be broke, eh? I've had a few moments like that lately...

Wow indeed! Why does the price fluctuate so much? Do the other models ever reach crazy prices like that?

 

[thehess]

Starting 2012 with the big three.
Are more in store? We shall see.

Rack space might need to be opened up to add more Laklands.
Or...I could just get more racks.

There are a bunch of Lakland models, like this one, that are "sold by Amazon". I noticed that a bunch were good for Prime (free two day shipping on Amazon-fulfilled items). There pricing engine is very active on their own items.

I need to take new pics. I'll try to get some tomorrow, but it may be dark before I get the chance.

Hey man, what type of stands are those? I have similar stands ...mine are the 3 and 5 bass warwick stands...but the foam on the bottom wears out and then you worry about metal stand edges messing up the basses.
so far it is not to THAT point...but in the near future it will be..

Might just wrap them with some soft material and not worry about it....or might consider new better stands.

thanks

They are the GS430 and GS450: Invalid Link Removed
Made by Quiklok. They come in 3, 5, and 7 slots. Soft rubber cradle at the bottom and top work for everything, as you see from my setup. I bought the 3 for onstage use too. I really like them.

Hey guys. I picked up a USA glaub. Strange to me, the tuners are reverse acting. Turn toward you to tighten. Is that normal?

Thanks for the help. Found it on google...looking at the 5 place stand. I found it in my fav NYC camera store B&H photo for like $65.
not a bad price for that heavy duty stand at all.
Problem is , they do not stock it they get it shipped direct from mfg...could take awhile?

Either way I think I will get one..they look heavy duty and well made.

I got them on amazon, and had them the next day. B&H is a great store... I love their 300 page catalog.

Yea I could spend all day walking around the B&H Store in Manhattan. Truly like a kid in the candy store.
