Well, my last transaction didn't go through unfortunately, but very understandably. The person of whom I attempted to sell the Lakland had me do some deeper digging (which was good!). After getting the actual weight, he confirmed that it didn't suit his needs.
So here's the relist with updated information!
Up for sale is a 2002 US Lakland 44-60 with CAR finish, white PG, alder body, Fralin PUPs and stacked Vol/Tone knobs. Its weight is 9 lbs. 9.95 oz and its playability is like no other US Lakland I've owned (the Decade 5, PJ and 44-94). Seriously, this bass plays silky smooth, as the satin finished neck is broken in well, leaving for that buttery slick slide. For me, it plays as if its a part of who I am.
On a random note, I began my Lakland collection in 2010, when I purchased my first boutique bass (the 44-60 you see here) from said company. As I fell absolutely in love with the instrument, I got major GAS and bought 3 other Laklands. All of them played well, and as a result, sold well, but none would ever compare to the bass you see right before you. Thus, it now stands alone as the only bass left in my collection (how difficult it is for me to do this!).
So why am I selling it? I'm in a new season of my life and so have decided to put bass playing down for a time (don't stone me!). Just recently, I moved to Texas and have been enjoying my time in seminary/ministry. Because I no longer play bass for my old church in California and because the call for my upcoming adventure is Navy chaplaincy, I no longer need the instrument.
But that's not all. The money gained from this bass will help me substantially with my new living situation.
Anyhow, whether or not you choose to purchase this guy, thank you for looking. If you have any questions, please shoot them my way. I will happily answer to the best of my ability.
Additional information:
*there are very little scratches on the bass--none are deep or go through to the wood
*there is a little "worm" on the back of the bass--it doesn't "scratch" through; it's just noticeable when looked at closely with good lighting
*there have been no repairs
*the frets have little to no wear
*the original HSC is in good condition but it's a little dirty
*there are no dings or scratches on the headstock or neck backing
*there are no paint cracks or spider webbing
*the neck pockets don't have cracks
*there is no corrosion on the bridge or jack input
*the bass has great low-action
*there are no dead spots
