Lakland Skyline 44-01 natural body, rosewood fretboard
carl0s replied to carl0s's topic in Basses For Sale
Sold! Thanks Sam. Was good to meet you and chat. -
My phone number is 07766 087 677.

It seems I may be a bit out on price.. a few have sold on here for quite a bit less. All the same, it's like new.. and I've hadly touched it, so I don't want to let it for for less than £250. I think it would fetch more than that on eBay, based on completed auction prices. So, £250 to you guys, plus postage, no paypal, or you can help cover the paypal fees.

Lakland Skyline 44-01 natural body, rosewood fretboard
carl0s replied to carl0s's topic in Basses For Sale
Here is a picture I just took of the Lakkie. It's the one on the right, obviously. -
Here is the GT-10B. I bought it so that I could have a go at playing the Sledgehammer bassline (compressor + octaver). I did that for 10 minutes, and that was that.. I haven't bothered with the bass much at all but I'm planning to buy a synth and a keyboard amp, and keep my cheap bass (Peavey Cirrus BXP) and just practice with a clean sound.

[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1328732635' post='1531950'] MB1. Forum Policy. You'll also have to state an acceptable price for the lakland. [/quote] Sorry.. I'll check out the policy I have stated a price for the Lakland in the thread that I've made for it. £365

Excellent player and condition. Great example of Lakland's budget range - the neck is amazing, smooth and fast, well fretted, with a pre-amp that offers bass/middle/treble - all boost and cut Also has pull out on the master vol to switch to passive mode. Bartolini pe amp 2 Bart MK1 pick ups 2003, Korean built. See this thread for pics: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136926-lakland-skyline-44-01/page__view__findpost__p__1238641"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1238641[/url] I am located in South Manchester and am willing to travel up to ~60 miles to meet somebody, F.O.C, if the asking price of £365 is met and paid in cash in person. I do have a hardcase for my other guitar, which I don't really want to sell, but, if it's the only way somebody is going to get their hands on this, then I would be willing to chuck that case in for some extra money, so that the bass can be posted to somebody. I think collection/meeting would be best though. cheers, Carl p.s. I can take some more pictures soon, but right now I am connecting to the interweb through my phone and it's expensive and limited. I also have a BOSS GT-10B multi-fx unit in the other section.. good price!

(as listed on eBay - user id cssnetworks) as new condition, boxed, manuals, etc. played with a few times. I want a synth. £270 to basschat.co.uk members. Postage will be about £8. I would prefer not-paypal, but can go with PP if bank transfer is too much trouble. I also have a Lakland Skyline for sale. 4 string, natural wood. will find out the model number - it's a 44-01 or whatever the cheap one is. email is carl at css-networks dot com but I should pick up replies to this thread anyway.

[quote name='obbm' post='1253198' date='Jun 1 2011, 09:38 PM']Good result. [/quote] Yup. Thanks :-) P.S. I ordered the GT-10B today too. Yay
-
The Sony MDR-XB700s are very good and I'm very happy with them. Their low impedance is immediately obvious, because everything is WAY louder than with my 54 ohm AKGs. They're very comforable, and bassy! cheers everyone

[quote name='urb' post='1250440' date='May 30 2011, 04:20 PM']Now that you mention it the 250s are a little quiet compared to my old Sens (or my new in-ear ones) but I'm mainly using them at home with my Mackie sound card and I can crank the volume to just right level - I'm trying them now with my iPhone and even though the volume is full up the sound is excellent - supe clear with amazing definition - the 80ohms are sure to be louder but these are seriously great headphones... highly recommended once again [/quote] Thanks. If I'm not happy with the Sonys, I will give these DT770s a go. I just had to buy yet another (third one + 1 repaired in as many years) aluminium trolley jack, and I want the GT-10B, so I have decided to go a little down-market on this purchase..
-
HD 280s are out of stock at the ~£70 price range. Must have been limited supply at that price. I have just ordered the Sonys from Amazon for £67 :-) Thanks for the ideas guys!
-
Hmmm. It's between the Sony MDR-XB700, and the Senn HD280 Pro. Both ~£70. I want to buy a Boss GT-10B, but want to keep hold of my POD X3 Live as well, so really I could do with keeping costs down where possible. £70 headphones are more in my price range today than £140 ones.

[quote name='MythSte' post='1250234' date='May 30 2011, 01:19 PM']If its just for practice get yourself some cheapish in-ear headphones. Much easier for them to create decent bass SPL in your ears. Over ear headphones are always going to struggle IMO.[/quote] I do have some nice Klipsch in-ear headphones but I'm not sure they're adequate for this, although they are the best yet for normal music listening.
-
Based on price (£65 vs £~135 - 150), I'm going to give the Sonys a go. I hope I don't regret it. I have always regretted buying Japanese car speakers and end up going back to expensive Focals, so we'll see..
-
Thanks guys. Some good options there. [quote name='urb' post='1249918' date='May 30 2011, 09:26 AM']I just got some Beyerdynamic DT 770s and they are fantastic - superb definition across all frequencies and soooo comfy - they should last for years too - and are very affordable [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyerdynamic-DT770-PRO-Headset-250/dp/B0006NL5SM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306743870&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyerdynamic-DT770...3870&sr=8-1[/url] Highly recommended - Senheisser are great too (I've had a top of the range pair of HDs for over ten years) but I prefer the DTs[/quote] Urb, do you have the 250 ohm version or the 80 ohm ones? My AKGs are ~54 ohm and as far as volume goes, they're good. I'm not sure if a 250 ohm pair would be to quiet without some sort of additional amplifier. What do you reckon?
-
Not cheap are they! Any idea what SP, and Basic Edition mean ?
-
I've decided that the buzz I'm getting is actually my headphones resonating. I have some AKG K240 MK2s that I bought for my drum kit. I've Googled "bass practice headphones" but not had much luck. Any recommendations? Running from my POD X3 live. cheers, Carl

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='369653' date='Jan 4 2009, 12:17 AM']Nope, not an Urban Myth. Quoting Official N.H.S. statistics - An average of Nine people die every year in the U.K. from testing a PP3 with their tongue. Apparently, it's a fool-proof way of finding out if you were born with a weak heart. Thank goodness I wasn't. I'd been doing this for years before I read the article. [/quote] What you should do is lick your index finger - nice line of wetness, then put PP3 terminals on one end of finger and tongue on the other..

Does my head in. I've always been a gadget and electronics freak, but nowadays bloody dimmer lightswitches, computer graphics cards, dvd players, TVs, my laptop when it's on AC.. they all irritate me with unwanted noises.
-
My Peavey Cirrus BXP is really bad for noise. The noise is suppressed until you play a note. Kind of like the squelch control on a CB radio. To be fair, the Peavey's batteries died a couple of days ago and I haven't put new ones in it yet, so maybe with full batteries it'll be OK, but.. I just got a Lakland 44-01, and on higher notes (9th fret on top string upwards), I can hear (only just, but I do tune into it), a sort of transistor fuzz in the background of the note. It's like coil whine/fuzz, what a lot of laptops do nowadays. I can hear it with my Pod on bypass too.. still going through the Pod, but just on Tuner mode. Should I just get over it and tune my head out of it?

PM sent

I have bought a Peavey Cirrus BXP and that means I get to keep my Wolfgang, so this thread can be forgotten now. cheers, Carl

[quote name='Pookus' post='385589' date='Jan 20 2009, 12:19 AM']Its like buying a new pair of jeans with rips in. Bogus.[/quote] I was going to mention that. People do pay for worn jeans!! They're not generally any more expensive than new-looking jeans, but they are available from expensive-ish shops.
