The hardware has been replaced with the same models, except in black. There is no buckle rash or dents. 

I am fed up with time wasters on BC. Don't crap my threads, dispute my honesty, or waste my time unless you would actually like to buy this bass. 

The question about the hardware was a valid one, since you had just stated a change in hardware colour to black by a previous owner, along with a link to the original ACG web page spec. Other brands of black hardware are available so how are BC members to know what has been fitted? 

You also posted the previous owner’s sale thread, in which it states that there is buckle rash and a dent, so again it was a valid question. 

I don’t understand how valid questions on a sale thread for a bass costing £900 constitutes a “crap”  of your thread?

i am not a time waster as my feedback on BC will show. I was actually genuinely interested in buying this bass, but I’m sure I’ll find something suitable from a less rude member.

Hi

What brand is the later black hardware? The original chrome bridge was hipshot and chrome gotoh tuners.

You also state that it has only light swirling and no dents or scratches but the previous owner stated that it had belt buckle rash and a dent, have you repaired this?

Thanks for your views. I’m thinking of changing my 5er bass as the neck is quite wide so I did get down to bass direct for a good tryout of a few models and then left thinking about what I can and can’t afford as there are some beauties there! Saving my pennies up to go back!

Hi do you still have the Ed Friedland book please?

I don't see how there is an overlap? There is the SR range and the BTB range (and the other ranges). As an SR player, the BTB range is no use to me (necks to wide / long). They look nice but I couldn't play one.

Or do you mean the overlap like fender with the J and P basses? Or the Strat and Telecaster? 

I didn’t know about the difference in dimensions at the time, so thought that the woods, hardware and electronics were similar, hence the overlapping viewpoint esp on premium models. The Ibanez name seems to be more prominent on the BTB headstocks down the years whereas it appears more subtle on the SDGR ones.

Thanks for the insights. As a Cort Jeff Berlin 5er owner, I’d feel the similarities to a BTB in that case as SDGR have the thinner necks and narrower spacing?

Ok thanks, The premium ones seem to be made in the same Indonesian factory so just marketed at a different playing aesthetic?

It might be a daft question but both ranges have Premium models down to more budget ones. Seems to be a lot of overlap?

Anyone clear my confusion please? 

Yes I can get a cost for that. Where are you based?

Just PMd you.

I've decided I want to keep it, as it's such a nice bass.  Thanks to all for their comments and parting-out enquiries.

SOLD elsewhere.

Given the Lakland content and the high quality parts, if the overall “ensemble“ jives well together, that‘s one heck of a lot of bass for the money.

I‘m not on the market myself, but if you were to put up some soundbytes of this baby you may significantly increase your chances of a sale.

Thanks, I’m off to Greece on holiday tomorrow for a week so will sort something when I get back.

If you do part out then I maybe interested in the body and Lakland bridge - I have a Lakland neck Just awaiting the right body 😊

Thanks Raslee, I’ll come back to you if I do part it out.

I think the neck and preamp are worth more than for what your asking..

Thanks bubinga5. Parting it out is an option definitely, but if someone wants it complete, then now’s the time to get in touch. 😀

No love so far? Offers invited on this versatile bass assembled using good quality components. PM me. If folks are not interested in the complete bass I could part it out.

I just bought his GK 212 cab, great guy to deal with, cab sounds great, completes my new set up, thanks a lot.

Hi

This bass started life as an all black Lakland Skyline Korean DJ 4 string, rosewood board. I bought it off an Italian guy in London and he showed me a video of him playing it in a band on a cable tv show in London. He’d then changed the body to a great quality 2 piece tobacco burst jazz style and added EMG pickups and pre amp. I kept the pups but swapped the pre for a John East J Retro Deluxe, fitted by John himself while I waited.

So now it is a great quality parts bass and was my main gigging bass for 4 years. A few marks here and there but it’s in good nick.

SPEC:

Original Lakland DJ Skyline neck with signature logo , tuners and bridge

 Emg pups

 East preamp 9v

2 piece tobacco burst jazz body

I’ve added the thumb rest and rear battery compartment.

The screw holes next to the bridge are from when I had a Roland GK3B synth pickup fitted.

Comes with a used black ABS hard case.

I’m in Wirral, NW England.

Thanks for looking.

I have the same combo and can vouch for its awesomeness.  Mine is also UK but for some reason has no option for additional cabs, just the one output on mine

Yes I’ve seen ones like that, it’s good to have them  extra option I think, for when you need it.

Hi 

I’m selling my gigging rig as I’m going down the pre/power amp route. 

This 550 Touring combo was made in UK. It has a valve driven preamp and puts out 600w rms into 4 ohms when using the internal speakers plus the 8 ohm 300w ext ABM speaker, about half that if using just the internal 8 ohm speakers.

Simple passive EQ controls with frequency shift switches for bass and middle, a bright switch and a mute switch. Pre/post DI option, effects send and return with inputs for passive and active basses.Weight 37kg. Serviced by Dave Lunt in Stockport at Xmas 2017. 

Ext cab is a lightweight 15 inch ABM.

Cosmetically the combo and cab have scuffs and nicks to the tolex, but it is a robust and reliable set up and has never let me down, gigged 2-3 times per month.

Cash on collection only, I live in Wirral NW England. 

I have feedback on here.

Bought some new labellas from David, great price and dispatched first class instantly. Top bloke to deal with.

Bought a Cort Jeff Berlin from David, arrived this afternoon extremely well packed and prepped for shipping. Great communication , good price and a pleasure to deal with. His reputation speaks for itself.
