Hi all,
I'm a newbie to the boards, so hoping that I get this right! Please let me know if not.
I have for sale or for trade a Lakland 44-02 Deluxe in Cherry Red with a quilted maple top. The bass is equipped with Bartolini MM and J pickups with a 3 band EQ and 3-way coil switch on the MM pickup; this gives you a massive tonal palette at your fingertips. The neck is slim and fast and all is in good working order.
Ash body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard producing a great tone. Frets in good condition with minimal wear.
In terms of condition, it's in great nick with very minor wear and no major knocks or dings; light brushing on lacquer on the back from playing and a loss of gloss on the lacquer where my thumb has been resting. Please see the pictures for more information - I'll upload some more when I get home and get the chance to photo some more
The bass is a real beauty and I'm reluctant to sell, hence would consider a trade or part/trade for an equal quality bass.
Asking for [s]£900 [/s] £850 for straight sale or will consider trade offers.
Thanks for looking, feel free to PM me or post on here if you need any further information.

[b][EDIT][/b] Added some more photos of the beauty and updated the condition description (sorry about the quality of the pics, they're the best I can do with my camera and less than ideal lighting):
As you can see in this pic, under light the quilted maple top and cherry sunburst create a fantastic look....like flames licking all over the body:
