And which Lakland is it that you don´t want to part with?  Just curious...

It's a USA 55-14 😁

If you delete/move that smiley emoji so that it's under your first picture, you'll then have a picture of your lovely Spector visible in the For Sales section list instead of the smiley! 

Thanks for that mate, had no idea that's why there was a smiley face 😂 

Also it's fitted with a tone pump preamp (with trim pot) and weighs approximately 10.03lbs 

Hi folks, bought these last week and used for about an hour. Realised I just prefer nickelrounds instead. Cut for a 35" 3/2 lakland so will fit most basses. Cost me £35 so £20 posted uk seems about fair

Man that's a good looking bass! 

Hey everyone, recently withdrew this however with a house move in the next few weeks and too many basses I've decided to commit to selling it. It's a 2018 onwards euro 5 lx fitted with the dual coil bartolini pickups. 35" scale and 17mm bridge spacing. Sounds, plays and looks fantastic and the only reason I'm selling this one is something has to go and I can't bring myself to part with my lakland! Excellent condition with a few very small marks, comes with the fitted hardcase which is good condition bar a few small nicks. Collection preferred, could possibly organise a meet up or postage at buyers cost as I have a suitable box. Any questions message me.

Just oozes quality

My terrible pictures really don't do it justice 

Hi people, my collection has recently grown and due to a house move I'm trying to be good and reduce it. So putting the feelers out to see if there's any interest in this stunning bass. It's a fibenare globe bass. If like myself (until I did some research) you've never heard of them, they are completely hand made in Hungary by 3 brothers. They make every single part in house (apart from the gotoh tuners) and it is of the highest quality. This was made in 2014 and had an original price of over £4k! Absolutely stunning woods throughout, alder body, burled top and flamed neck. The pickups are dual coil and split series/single/parallel and sound fantastic. It has a active passive push pull vol control and a 3 band eq. There is a low battery led on the rear cavity cover. 24 frets and adjustable string spacing (18mm currently) and a very very fast and easy to play shallow neck. Very good condition, a few marks as shown and some light scratches that won't photo. Comes with a perfectly fitted hardcase and will come with the original gold control knobs. Weight is approx 9.5 lbs and it balances perfectly. This is a really stunning bass that is amazing to look at but has the tone and playability to match.

Cash sale and collection preferred, may take a part trade if I could sell it on easily enough. Will travel up to an hour if it helps a meet up. Any questions pm me

Any idea of the weight?

Yeah it's approx 10.85lbs

Price dropped and happy to post this next day for £20 in a box and bubble wrap using parcelforce 24hr (at buyers risk, however I've sent lots of basses with no issues)

Hey people, due to a house move and buying too many basses recently (if there is such a thing?!) I've decided to part ways with this stunning spector. It sounds fantastic with the tone pump preamp and bartolini dual coil pickups. It's very fast thanks to the 17mm ish string spacing and has such a punchy tone. Condition wise it's very good, there are a couple of very small marks that I've tried to show and some very light surface scratches that are almost impossible to see/photo. Serial number dates it as a 2018 onwards bass. Weight is approx 10.05lbs using my eBay special scales so give or take. Comes with the fitted spector hardcase which is good condition apart from a few small nicks. Collection or a meet up preferred however I have a decent box and can wrap it well if a buyer wants to organise postage. May consider a trade/part ex if its something that I could sell on easily enough any other questions just pm me. Thanks 

My newest edition to the collection is this beauty! Bought blind online and must say I'm impressed, it has a ridiculous tone that is so clear and cuts through so well. My only gripe is that the neck is quite deep up towards the first few frets especially compared to my lakland, but a minor issue 😁 

Sweet baby jesus of suburbia that's a nice P! 

This was mine for a little while and it is a stunning bass! Very generous price as well Andy. Trying very hard to not make another impulse bass buy this month...

That looks like a hell of a lot of bass for the money - I used to own a US Custom Shop NT Eagle, but know nothing about this particular range so hope this isn’t a stupid question; but is the buckeye burl top a wood veneer, or printed “wood effect”?

In all honesty I'd imagine this is nowhere near one of their custom shop instruments, however it's a very very nice bass for the money. They're made in Indonesia, probably (I assume!) in a factory that makes many other brands. The burl top as far as I know is a veneer/actual wood and not a graphic. It's a lovely bass that is great as is, or would be a brilliant base for modding. I planned to fit an East pre and some dimarzio pickups along with some gotoh tuners. However a house move and too many impulse buys have put an end to my plans 😂

The bride spacing can be adjusted with this "warwick-esque" bridge. You might be able to achieve 18/18,5mm. 

Although the bridge saddles have a grub screw, the spacing isn't adjustable as the saddles are the same width as the gaps. Seems like a terrible design 😂 I'm sure one of the ebay bridges would be a cheap way of getting string spacing adjustment 

After a recent purchase and after ALOT of contemplating, I've decided to see if there is any interest in my lakland 55 14. This is a 2016 USA made classic series bass. These basses are amazing and have one of the nicest necks available on any bass. It has birdseye maple fret markers which is a lovely touch. It has one of the best B strings in the business with amazing clarity thanks to the 35" scale and ultra solid neck. It plays perfectly and I'm really unsure on selling it so may withdraw it at any point. 

The only marks are on the rear of the body. There is one chip near the neck bolts and the lower left neck bolt surrounding finish has a small crack. There is also a chip and a small lift in the finish by the control cavity cover, it's been like this the two years I've owned it and not got any worse. Other than that, it's excellent condition. 

Comes with a pickguard and homemade ramp. Any more questions just ask. Collection is massively preferable due to the value of this however a handover or postage are always options. I will consider trades as long as its about 50/50 split of bass/cash and something that I could sell on. Will listen to sensible offers. 

Fantastic bass that I know I'll miss, treat yourself before it's to late! 

**weight is approx 9.2lbs using my eBay luggage scales so give or take

Very nice! What is the spacing at the bridge please?

Yeah as best I can measure its 17mm

I'll double check when I'm home but it's on the narrower side, I believe 17mm but will update you

Due to downsizing the collection decided to part ways with this bc rich mockingbird plus 5 string. Bass sounds and plays great. Very light at approx 7.7 lbs. There is a few small marks and a small finish crack in the neck pocket. I have also moved the strap pins to help with balance so there are a few extra holes! Collection preferred however may consider posting or meeting half way. Thanks 

Hi, due to moving to playing only 5 string basses I've decided to sell my lakland 44 02 skyline. These basses are phenomenal and can provide so many useful tones due to the pickup/preamp options. Fantastic neck like most laklands which is really comfortable. Weighs 9.5 lbs. Few marks to the headstock and some light surface scratches to the rear which are very hard to photograph. Collection preferred however may be able to meet up or post. Any further information just ask. Thanks 

It's gen2 with the rolled board and satin neck, not the gen2 revision with round bridge saddles

Hi mate, yeah I emailed Chris at overwater when I got it for some info. He said the evolution was a fairly short run of basses that became the progress. Its a mahogany body, 5pc maple/mahogany neck, rosewood board and birdseye maple top. String spacing is currently 18mm however its adjustable. It's a 35" scale. I'm unsure of radius however it feels very flat to me and is very quick. I'll dig out the scales and weigh it ASAP

That's the neatest cavity I've ever seen. 😏

Yeah the cavity itself is a work of art 😂. Shows the care and attention the overwater guys must have for their instruments 

Hey everyone, due to moving house I'm having a downsize of my collection! Here for sale is my 2007 overwater evolution 5 string. It's a stunning bass with a birdseye maple top and matched headstock. This is fitted from factory with Kent Armstrong pickups and an East/overwater preamp. I recently had a new genuine overwater nut fitted and she plays great. I love this bass however my lakland is my main go to so this needs to go. There are marks from use and a small bit of damage near the xlr socket - I've tried to picture everything however feel free to ask if better pictures are wanted. The truss rod nut is slightly rounded on the outer end however still works fine and the bass will also come with a genuine overwater replacement that just needs fitting. I haven't done it as the bass is currently set up fine. I haven't used the xlr output however I assume it works fine. Comes with original overwater hiscox hardcase which has some tape on a hinge and a previous owners name painted on it lol however functions perfectly as a decent case! Any questions pm me. Ideally collection or meet up and ideally cash sale. Trades may be considered if its a 5 string thumb bass or something I could sell on easily enough thanks 

Choice of knob included
