I bought a Lakland bass from Charlie. Many thanks for your friendly and prompt communication, and for packing the bass carefully!

I bought Lakland Skyline 44-60 bass from Graham. Thank you for organizing the shipping. I appreciated also great communication, it was a pleasure.

Hi, is this an older one with a rosewood fingerboard? The new 44-60s seem to come with laurel fingerboards.

Thanks.

Hi, is this also for sale? Or trading is the only option?

Cheers 🙂

I owe this model. So versatile and sounds huge! 

Would shipping to the mainland EU at buyer's cost be an option? Thanks

Alternatively, if you would be interested in an USA Reverend bass for trading with some cash difference your way, feel free to check my ad here 🙂

Hi, this former ad with the same or a very similar bass says it has an alder body...?

The scale would be 34.5", right?

The former ad says 3.6 kg, is that possible? Or how much does yours weight?

GLWTS 🙂

Shows 4.0-4.1 kg on my bathroom scales.

Which is consistent with what the endorsement web (http://www.revfan.com/reverend-bass.html) says, i.e. 9 lbs

I never thought I'd sell this one. However, my wrist started to hurt after playing 35" basses for several years. I had to sold two 35" five string Laklands for the same reason, both bought at this forum BTW 🙂 

I am selling my 35" basses. One of these is the Reverend Rumblefish 5L; manufactured in USA between 1999-2006 , discontinued.

Black phenolic top and back

As far as I can judge, all parts are original. Overall in a good shape. There is some discoloration and there are microcracks appearing in the white plastic side, I tried to capture these on the photos. Currently strung with Elixir nickel round wound 0045 strings.

Killer B string, well articulated sound, all strings balanced, nice sustain.

I am located in Czech Republic, Pilsen. I can add an older softcase (see the last two photos) that should protect the bass better than the Fender gigbag on the pictures. Shipping to UK is already included. Thanks 🙂

My feedback on this forum: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/271149-feedback-for-sterling-76/ 

I still regret selling mine... GLWTS!

The J pickup - is that a traditional single coil or a hum-cancelling splitcoil?

Bought a 5-string Music Man from @sebekoo7

Very good communication, fast shipping, the bass was as described and promised.

My recommendations!

Ok, perhaps you have noted if these pickups were hum-cancelling? Or is there some single-coil hum when soloed? Thanks. 

It looks nice!

What kind of pickups are these? True single coils? Or hum-cancelling splitcoils? Or some kind of humbuckers?

Is it possible to estimate the year when the bass was manufactured?

Thanks.

is it possible to hear a sound sample please?

When was the bass manufactured? Or is it really from the 70s?

@PeteHantzios: Please feel free to add the text below to your feedback :-)

I have to say Pete is a great guy. The bass has just arrived OK. Before I bought it, I got all the details I needed about the instrument, detailed photos, and a truly recorded sound sample (very useful for my decision). In enjoyed the fast and honest communication including a phone call. The bass was really well packed for international shipping. Every piece of information showed to be true when I got the bass. Pete, you have my high recommendations :-)

Hi, is the bass still available?

Hi, where are you located?

Hi, still a UK only sale, right? Just asking, thanks.

Hi, any real pictures please?

PM sent :-)

Hi,[list=1]
[*]So the Sadowsky push-pull pot now switches between active and passive instead of the original mini toggle, right?
[*]The Sadowsky works also with 18V voltage like the original Fender preamp?
