I’d love to try the big blades in a 44-94! I have a PJ set in a Warwick and they absolutely sound amazing!

Hey! Been awhile fellow Lakland owners...
I sadly need to list and sell two of my three beloved US Laklands
Sniffle...
Not all THAT long ago, I had 16 basses and 8 of them where US Laklands.
Now?
Down to just 3 basses...
The US Hollowbody with factory installed Darkstars
The US Scheff ( hands of God ) That was Scheff's sons commissioned bass...
The US 44-07 with Chisonic buckers in tobacco sunburst
Never thought I would let go of any of these three till they dig that 6 foot hole and plant me...
But it is what it is..
On a happy note?
It got me back on here blaaabing

I vote keep the USA HB. They are works of art, IMHO.
I'll say the same about my others two early USA's - just perfection.
But if you have to choose, keep the USA HB.
My 2 cents.

All amazing. How do you choose?
I hear you, true works of art across the board... As are pretty much any early US Laklands!
With the factory installed Darkstars, the HB is just one of those impossible to ever get again basses.. then again? So are the other two!
This is clearly a no win situation I face...hahaha
Thanks and yes it is impossible.
I am doing serious headscratching here...
Maybe put all three up for sale and keep the one that doesn't sell?
That is one confounding dilemma - but that USA Hollowbody, tho.......
BTW - I only see the Skyline HB's available for order on the new website.
Is Lakland still making USA HB's?
Anyone have a lead on a pre-owned Skyline 44-60 / JO?
Looking to join the club! I've wanted a Lakland for a long time and will finally be ready when my Stingray Special sells.
There are a couple of nice ones on Reverb, the trans white and especially Sherwood green stack knob, but curious if I may have missed some great specimens.

My lord!! That Scheff!!!
HEY JJ!!
Long time man... it might be up for grabs... I think I am listing the HB with Dstars.,.. and one the fence between the Scheff and the chisonic bucker 44-07?
I think I will play all 3 this weekend a bit and make the final cut... Shoot me a PM if you have interest in any of em

Hey there!

Where is the " unlike button" when you need it.....
It's even more awesome in person.... The Quilting is amazing
It's a beauty! Unfortunate you have to sell and even more unfortunate that I'm hooked on 5 strings now.
I'm exercising an amazing amount (for me) of restraint.
