NO - not the "big" lotto ticket....

I hear ya on all the above.
I would think this bass is like anything.
It is worth whatever someone will pay for it.
Sure there is someone out there someplace who will pay asking price.
But if they want to increase their odds of finding a buyer they should come down on it to well under $3,000.00 IMO.
But who knows? Someone could buy it tomorrow for asking price. Stranger things for sure have happened. :D

Its all about making you feel good Brian! I would do it here as well BUT fior some reason I cannot add anything to my signature...it keeps coming back with "errors" saying I have too many characters...I do not !

However, there ARE too many characters here....and (wait for it)......

THEY ALL PLAY LAKLANDS!!! :cool:

OK OK....stop it! I thought we made up!

I just like "variety".....saves money in the long run....really....:D:hiding:

GregC said:
Ah, well that certainly changes the game quite a bit. Although I again agree with Dan, the seller will have a much easier time offloading the second neck separately. Only a few weirdos like Doug want two necks for the same bass.:D

I'm not sure, let me ask... what's that? Oh, okay. Nope, according to my other personality I'm completely sane.

if there is anyone in the NYC or Rockland, Westchester, Orange County area that has a Lakland 55-94 that would be willing to let me come over and try it i would be forever grateful. i would bring my 55-02's fretted and fretless so we both could see and feel the difference. i would even bring my promethean 5210 amp with me. i really want to try out an American Lakland before plucking down such a large investment to really see if in my opinion they are worth the extra cost but i just cant find a 55-94 in the tri-state area, Leo even looked up dealer inventory for me and nothing ;-(. so if you would be willing to help a fellow Lakland lover i would be forever grateful.

Peace
Dave

if you PM him he will think you are interested.....;)

RumbleBeeAL said:
Nor does it state the s/n of both necks are identical - "fretted neck also serialed to the bass" that could simply mean the s/n on that neck is merely documented to be with that bass model?.

I find it best not to read too much into any ad and avoid any surprises. A better approach would be to simply ask the seller via PM or email what all is included for the $3,500 or $3,600 discounted price.

If you start playing with the price from the original $4,000, things seem to slowly disappear if not documented and made clear.

GregC said:
Yeah, rare bass, super-vague ad and high price leads to lots of speculation.

he he he.....just like the stock market these days! :atoz: Trying to "time the market" to sell some to finance my daughter's college.....frustrating! Her account is already so far down it is pittiful...oh well...I digress....let's come back to "Fantasy island"...

Lakies are GREAT! (stay in the moment...)

Johnny Alien said:
I sent them an email to see if they can give more information. Not because I am interested but just for the sake of conversation. I will post the info here so if anyone else is thinking of doing the same you don't need to bother them. If they get 10 emails in one day about the bass they may think they have it priced too low. :)

That was kinda my point. You can't. Not even a little. You can't even buy one and mod one because the routes are wrong and Dark Stars are no longer made. As far as rare Laklands go the Dark Star Decade had got to be in the top 3. My guess is that there is less than 40 made with Dark Stars. And judging by the fact that it sold my guess is that there are people out there that know it.

You can't find a set of DarkStars for less than $600 these days and if a new US neck is around a grand than that makes the bass in the 2K range if it sold for $3600. It's high but not out of line for what it was.
