    [quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1386678752' post='2302924'] I am on the lookout for a combo but was thinking nearer 250 watts. The TC electronic BG250.... are available for under £300 new. How does this compare? [/quote] Never played through the BG250, but it looks pretty good - that said, what the Roland may lack in output (and either of them are going to need an extension speaker to get properly loud) it makes up for with quite a few more features - have a look at the specs: http://www.roland.co.uk/products/productdetails.aspx?p=1144 The cheapest I could find the TC was £310 - who's selling them cheaper than that??

    Going, going...

    [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1386538243' post='2301289'] Couldn't you say it's a 2-tone fretboard and looks different according to the ambient light? [/quote] Might have been worth a try, but unfortunately the other one's not a Cherryburst!!

    Very, very nice. I had the slightly later dark brown fretless version in the early 80's. What's the approximate weight?
  6. lowregisterhead
    This needs to go - last bump before eBay. I mean it this time!

    For sale is a Lakland 55-02 Deluxe in Cherryburst with a maple board. Made in 2007 (Korean) with Lakland pickups and preamp, very good condition. The only flaws are a small ding in the neck at the 9th fret, and some scratches at the base of the headstock, both courtesy of the previous owner. Included is a non-original, rather worn but perfectly serviceable light tweed hard case. The reason for the sale is that I have another one of these with a rosewood board, so one has to go before 'er indoors notices. Now SOLD pending payment. Thanks for all your interest!

    [quote name='sabian' timestamp='1386098407' post='2295802'] I used them in Lakland JO5 so I guess DJ5 should work too. [/quote] I put a set of Delanos of exactly the same dimensions in my DJ5 and they were a perfect fit.
  9. lowregisterhead
    I think they should also fit a Lakland DJ5.

    Gone. Obviously didn't bother someone. Still a bargain!

    I used to have one of these many years ago... not half bad basses.
  12. lowregisterhead
    Also, why is picture no. 2 of a 4-string bass??
  13. lowregisterhead
    They're OK basses, not Status's finest hour though. Nice enough to play, but a pretty gutless sound IIRC, and certainly not the 'Status sound' if that's your thing. I suppose there might be reinforcement bars in the neck, but otherwise there's not a scrap of graphite in them. Cheap enough though. Who am I kidding, it's horrible!!

    [quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1385848720' post='2292910'] Oh bugger. I was about to fly to Hungary and arrange a lorry.... [/quote] I've actually had that very thing happen twice with eBay sales, where they would have a 'friend' call me and arrange to come and pick it up in a fortnight and pay cash on collection... I never took the chance...

    I just bought a lovely Lakland 55-02 deluxe from Fred, and it was a very good experience - excellent communication throughout, and it arrived promptly, very well packaged. Thanks Fred!

    Bump
  17. lowregisterhead
    Why is this still here?? A great bass at a fantastic price - the Jeannie's plate must have cost £50 on its own. I already have two 55-02's (sorry, showing off now) and I'd have this one as well if there wasn't a fair likelihood of a black eye from the missus if I did... Have a bump. Someone needs to buy this quick and save me from an ass whooping courtesy of 'er indoors.

    Thanks Chris - it's not just a trip down memory lane, it's a real gem of a bass too. Some of the Japanese output in the 70's might be considered a bit suspect by today's standards, and I was worried I might be disappointed when it arrived, but it's really well built, plays beautifully and sounds great.

    [quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1384639455' post='2279131'] Gotta give Dave a bump here. I bought a Trace head from him a while back - a top chap to deal with. These Roland combos are incredible, and totally overlooked in my opinion. I own the Cube 30, and have practised with a 120XL and it is very capable. Just my 2p worth.... Cheers Geoff [/quote] Thanks Geoff!

    Between 1973 and 1976 I believe. There was a slightly flasher version, the SB75, which had block inlays on the neck instead of dots, but all in all any variant of the model seem to be very rare.

    I had one of these in 1979, loved it, but had to take it back to the shop when the neck when banana-like within a couple of months. They couldn't get another one because Yamaha stopped making them in 1976 (things took a while to filter through to North-East Scotland in the 70's.) Then a couple of weeks ago I spotted this being sold by a dealer in Japan, and I think it's in better nick than the one I had nearly 35 years ago. The neck's been re-lacquered, but otherwise it's 100% original. It's bright, resonant, sounds great and is lovely to play. The body shape may be a slightly acquired taste, but it's the best jazz bass I've ever played, and gawd knows I've played a few. Makes me feel like a teenager rehearsing in my grandad's loft again... It's a Yamaha SB55, by the way! [url="http://s1141.photobucket.com/user/lowwregisterhead/media/SB55_zps0d7da426.jpg.html"][/url]

    Now that IS a bargain! Slightly jealous, but even with the passage of time it would still drive me nuts trying to work it!
  23. lowregisterhead
    Not in the market for a Jazz, but if I was, this would be it. Love those stacked pots! Good luck with sale.
  24. lowregisterhead
    Bump...
  25. lowregisterhead
    I had one back in the day and I took it back to the shop after a fortnight. Every button and slider had half a dozen functions depending on which mode you were in. Drove me up the wall.
