[s]For sale is my lovely Lakland 55-02, bought on here recently from DanEly to bridge a time gap between selling my ACG 6 and receiving my new ACG 5 and also fulfil a wedding gig date, well the gig is done and the 5 is here so this baby has to go… I believe it's a 2008 and was bought new by Dan, it's been looked after, I gave it a thorough clean when I got it, lemon-oiled the fingerboard, tightened all the screws etc when it arrived, I also changed the humbucker pickup coil selector switch for a new one bought straight from Lakland in the US as the old one was faulty so this is now a fully functioning piece of sunburst loveliness! Typical Lakland 35" scale lovely and taut low B, very versatile set of sounds from it's MM/J pup and 3 band preamp with selectable mid frequency. I played the whole gig on it and we do everything from classic rock to 80's and modern pop…wedding dancing choons ya-know…and it covered every sound I needed to make quite comfortably. I also got compliments from a secret bass player in the audience on how good the bass had sounded! and in a marquee too!! Condition-wise there's a minor amount of light swirling on the rear from historic belts in the bass' past, I always keep my belt covered by my t-shirt so I don't cause such issues anymore, I learnt that lesson ages ago Pics (taken post wedding gig clean-up): [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157634634847474/[/media] £750 is what I paid for it 2 weeks ago and now it's job with me is done it's time for someone else to enjoy it, it comes with a fairly well padded gig bag, collection would be lovely but happy to ship within the UK. I've also strung it with Lakland nickel round strings and have 2 sets left over which I will include (£20 a set is what they cost me 2 weeks ago), the ones on have done one gig and are more than fine still. Favoured trade options would be P-bass shaped or MM 3 band Rays…also happy to consider combination trades with my pair of blazers also advertised on here at the mo...?[/s]

Mate this is beautiful and I'd hate to see it go for a song just because there's v little cash about on here at the mo...just my tuppenceworth but you may have more luck if you suggest trades for a similar value jazz?

this is a lovely bass Mike! [URL=http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/mikegatward/media/P%20Deluxe/c71538a317b54beea0a375309323e2ae.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/mikegatward/P%20Deluxe/c71538a317b54beea0a375309323e2ae.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

This is almost the spec of my next wishlist Graft! I was after an Ash body with all maple neck & fingerboard, single FB pup, east 2 band pre...but this could be close enough! Don't suppose you'd be interested in the pair of Blazers I'm trying to sell so I can place the order!?

[quote name='ateyercheese' timestamp='1373369995' post='2136706'] Aw man, if only! Too many plans this year to part with that much cash. Unless you want a Kawasaki ER6f? [/quote] sorry bud, while I'd kinda like a bike my wife won't allow it. I can heartily recommend ACG though, this one's heading back up that way for Alan to sell on my behalf and I'm having one of his other ones that's a 5 string, they're so good!
