TRADED *price drop* Lakland 2015 Skyline 55-02 Deluxe 5-String, cherryburst/maple, Bartolinis, OHSC

Seriously one of the best basses I've ever played, and inspired my migration to Lakland from Fender after almost 20 years of playing the latter almost exclusively. This is my 2015 Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe, cherryburst over quilted maple and ash, maple fretboard, maple neck with graphite reinforcement. Loaded with the delicious Bartolini pickups that are full, fat, and warm. I've compared this bass next to a Lakland pickup-equipped 55-02, and it's not close...the Barts are excellent. Lakland LH-3 preamp with 3-band EQ, coil split toggle for the bridge MM pickup, blend, and volume knob with push/pull active/passive switch. 35" scale. Strung with a new set of Fender 7250s (which are in my opinion the BEST strings for this bass). Weighs just a tad over 10 lbs according to my scale. Great condition -- a couple small dings near the output jack and a light surface scratch on the back just rear of the neck pocket (see photos). I'm including a Lakland hardshell case that is in likewise great condition. Asking $1175 shipped $1100 shipped CONUS, PayPal only. Thanks!

As for trades, I'm looking for 30" scale basses. Hofners, Mustangs, Laklands, Fallouts...let me know what you've got. Ideally wanting to trade down with cash depending.

 

It isn't the lightest bass in the herd, but it sounds fantastic. Bright, snappy, with that nice Bartolini grunt.

 

Replied. Still available, folks.

 

Definitely. My only experience had ever been with the Bart-equipped -02 basses before trying out a Lakland-equipped one. The difference is not subtle. The Barts add so much warmth!

 

The preamp in this bass is still the Lakland LH-3 which has dip switches for adjusting mid peaks. A very neat feature that makes a hugely versatile bass even more versatile!
