    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1372705419' post='2128913'] Hi Rasta mate I think there's still a prob I cannot see the picture of the front of the bass and I also cannot believe it has not sold yet [/quote] Cheers for letting me know buddy, not sure what is happening here as i can see them on my PC. I've put a link to the old pics on the main thread and tried to upload another pic. I'm equally surprised its still here too, although i don't mind as i get to keep it longer. I'm actually coming around to considering keeping it and perhaps selling my Fender 5 and or/my Fender 4 for that matter - the Laky hands down is a better quality bass.

    I've had emails saying peeps can't see the front of the bass??? Weird as i can in the post. Anyhow here it is again for those who cannot see it. Let me know if its still problematic.

    Here mate, :- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/206648-fsft-lakland-5501-with-nordstrands-absolute-bargain-l500-new-pics-update/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/206648-fsft-lakland-5501-with-nordstrands-absolute-bargain-l500-new-pics-update/[/url] - Awesome 5 if i'm honest, just I don't need two 5's right now and the other i gotta keep for 'long story' reasons despite the Lakland being a much FAR superior bass, better sounding, better B string (Laklands have the best low B's ), better versatility....blah blah PM if your keen
  7. Raslee
    No worries, although I'd have to say Laklands make a 5 string easier - good luck with the sale buddy
  8. Raslee
    My Lakland 5501 with Nordies and little cash your way perhaps ?

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1371558531' post='2115447'] I didn't get a chance to try a 5 string lakland yet but did play a bass yesterday with the Nordstrand pick ups. The sound fantastic and the solo'd neck pick up is really nice. I just bought a new to me imac as my laptop melted otherwise I'd be all over this. Maybe in a few months if it's still here! [/quote] Yeah the Nordies really make this bass. The neck sounds very P bass like and has a great soul warm tone. iMacs are the way to go too, good man

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1371412261' post='2113611'] I agree I think people are put off by the stickers and it is a nice bass [/quote] yeah I'll take your advice on that one it really is a top bass, surprised no ones snapped it up yet

    Interested in my Lakland 5501 I have for sale?
  13. Raslee
    [quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1370555883' post='2102822'] Very tempted indeed... just that having picked up a BB425X not so long ago I am struggling to think of an excuse! [/quote] An excuse is that Laklands are beautiful players and the best tight low B strings ever...nuff said
  14. Raslee
    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1370554639' post='2102795'] Ugh! This is nuts. Right scale length, right pickups. Why is this still here? [/quote] Yeah mate i'm surprised too, especially at this price. Sign of the times i guess . I'll keep on bumping now and then, but equally i'll keep on playing it too whilst its in my hands....best low 'B's ever on Laky's.
  15. Raslee
    Yeah I've just stacked mine, Fender USA 2000 Jazz (i think). I love the tonal variation with having tone control on each pick up....far superior to the one tone in my opinion. I get a lovely soul warm tone with the bridge tone rolled off but the neck tone up....yeah two tone all the way .
  16. Raslee
    If you want to add some dosh i have a nice Lakland 5501 for sale in the 'For sale' section.

    [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1370542696' post='2102496'] Well the previously mentioned Squier P-J is one new one. Ridiculously good for the money. Then today I read the email. "Conratulations..." Oh, here we go... "You have won the prize draw for the Warwick Alien acoustic bass on Facebook" I suppose Facebook had to be good for something! [/quote] That's proper 'awesome' Den...well done matey
  18. Raslee
    Deal done i think

    Interested in a swap for some wizard 84's - virtually new ?

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1369380818' post='2088466'] We (more specifically I ) need pics! Ahh, go on, go on, go on. BTW, how,long did it take you to sand it down? The finish on mine looks bomb-proof! Edit: sorry, bit of a thread derail there. I'd say 400-450 depending on condition, finish, etc. As you were. [/quote] Haha keeping to the thread, i'd say £400-500 too, i think they're a lot of bass for the money and easily worth more IMO. Going off thread, well it took about a week to sand, blood sweat and fears. It still isn't perfect but its livable. I so much prefer the bass now though. Despite going all passive with Wizards trads it still retains some of that woody growl of the Warwick tone. Its a weird one as i didn't really believe all that 'it's in the wood' milarky but i guess now i'm a believer Anyhow, i've said it a billion times...great basses!!!...and now my main gigging bass...again Link here to build thread & pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207017-advice-on-finishing-a-maple-warwick-body/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207017-advice-on-finishing-a-maple-warwick-body/[/url]

    I've just recently sanded down my green fortress to reveal a lovely maple grain, two piece - love it! They're great basses for the money although I put a passive set up in my bass with wizards for a more traditional sound. I paid £350 for mine about a year ago, the previous owner I believe had it from new and paid over £1k back in the 90's. My Fortress has become my main gigging bass for my soul band especially now that I've ditched the bogie green colour, much prefer the oiled natural looks, superb slim necks too and top Warwick build quality. Mine is definitely a keeper

    [quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1368746743' post='2081155'] How heavy is it? [/quote] Have just weighed it and its just over 10lbs

    [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1368653954' post='2079964'] What happened to the original preamp [/quote] Hi, I sold it on after trying the pick ups passive. It had an Audere pre amp previously but i much preferred the sound of it passively plus with the special wiring loom that Kiogon on here did for me i have a multitude of tone options. Passive is king [quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1368746743' post='2081155'] How heavy is it? [/quote] Not sure, i'll weigh it later when i get home from work although i could be on a late one so it maybe tomorrow. I did have buyer interested but he has had to pull out for financial reasons. So she's back up for sale

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1367953740' post='2071576'] Am awaiting the results, more pictures please. [/quote] Sorry for the very cheesey shot...but i'm truly loving this bass now.....fitted with passive Trad Wizards for a lovely warm mellow soul & funky sound
