I traded this bass with an extra 150eu from him for my lakland skyline JO 5 and ive got to say I was skeptical at first. I was afraid te price gap would be too big to really make it a fair trade. The market here in europe is also a bit different, here this bass would fetch 600- 800eu easily due to the rarity and collectors value the lakland JO would sell for 900-1100eu, I even bought it foor 700 pounds so value wise i really didnt lose that much.
For me what most matters is sound and when i plugged it in I was instantly sold, its much more alive than the lakland. The lakland sounds a little bit dead? I suppose. Acoustically its also the best instrument I ever got my hands on its really loud and the whole bass vibrates when you play a note. I really couldnt be happier with this bass. I had my doubts at first but this bass sold itself to me.
The bass is really light and looking at the grain I think its an ash body with a cool worn down nitro sunburst finish. The neck got a nice flame to it, rosewood fb ofcourse and a tortoise pick guard plus original knobs will be on there asap.
