Not me! it took @ 7 years to find the one I own and play. I’d estimate that there is something like a 10 to 1 ratio difference in the number of fretted Lakland basses to the number of fretless Lakland Basses. Used ones aren’t that easy to come buy.
including the BEEEG fretlessYes I have a couple of fretless basses
No.... Sorry... Not wanting to sell
There is this 55-02 on Reverb...
I'd love to grab it, but I don't have a need for it.
Haven't played fretless in years...

I did see that and it's on my short list! TY
Before I bought the 55-94 Lined Fretless , I had a 55-02 Lined Fretless and although there are differences ( Quarter Sawn neck, U.S. Hipshots, Bone nut ) it played and sounded wonderful.
I have actually had a few 55-02 and at least 2 that were fretless. That's within semi reasonable driving distance for me as well I just wish that was someone here to do a more direct non-Reverb deal.
Provided you have the available funds and you really want/need a Lakland lined Fretless just know that 55-02’s are pretty rare used they don’t come up that often. They’re just aren’t that many made.
That's thanks to you for telling me about it!
Nice one! Great find! looks in great shape too, love the natural quilt.
Serendipitous divine intervention? This showed up in the TB classifieds this afternoon and the seller, @srp was incredibly accommodating in working a nice deal for me. Blood moon? Eclipse? I’m not questioning.
Just cool how things work out sometimes. Always thankful.

Congrats
2015, Indonesian, lightly used, ebony board, Bart pickups replaced the original Lakland, original Lakland pre.
It will be interesting to hear how the Bartolini’s fare with the Lakland Preamp. More EQ settings for sure. Both of mine are all Bartolini pickups and preamp. There’s just something about the midrange in that system that I couldn’t go without. Just my take of course.
