This is on Reverb currently (nothing to do with me), near Chelmsford: https://reverb.com/item/40217240-lakland-55-01-skyline-2020-cream?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=40217240 I briefly enquired, but will just stick with, and mod, my Black/Maple 55-01. Seems like he might go down on price a little, it weighs 4.5kg. Si

Well if you ever want to sell the fretless 😄. Got a picture? Si

Sound samples added to the original post. Very ‘tapewound’ with these strings, but fundamentally a good vintage P sound. Si -
I really want to get hold of a 44-01 fretless, possibly a 44-02, but they’re pretty rare now it seems. Something like these: Also really want to get a Hollowbody shortscale in black: Si

Totally agree with you on the necks. Although I have to say that I’ve never liked pickguards on their 44-xx/55-xx models, just my personal preference. Si

Hi all, Seeing as I have a particular penchant for Lakland basses, it was suggested that I might start somewhat of an 'appreciation' thread for Lakland Basses, as we have for a few other brands. This isn't quite the 'porn' thread that we have in the gear forum (although please do feel free to post your Lakland bass pics here too), but a bit of an information resource, chats about what you'd love to order, dream basses etc etc. While I don't represent Lakland on any level, I am a big fan, and know a fair bit about their processes and capabilities (custom-shop etc), so happy to answer any questions on that front. With that in mind, and without having too prescriptive a brief for the thread, have at it Here are my current crop, with my oft-commented on 'signature' passive P/J 44-94 (it's not a real sig as you might have guessed, I just like to call it that haha): L-R: Skyline DJ5, US 44-94, US 44-64, Skyline 55-01 Si

My signature model (or so I like to call it 😂) Si

Added a US 44-64 to my current Lakland herd the other week. This picture will probably change over the next month or so, depends whether I can find a Hollowbody shortscale in black anywhere haha. I did have a US 44-64 previously, which was lovely, but I wasn't overly keen on the sunburst (purely personal, it was a fantastically finished bass), so sold it. When this came up, I've always had a thing for black/black/maple, so was crying out for some Steel roundwounds, love it: Si

That's one dusty/dry looking fretboard! Si

I've found the Warwick pricing strategy quite odd for a number of years, simple as that. As above, why would I spend money on a Warwick Masterbuilt when it's comporable (or perhaps more expensive in some cases) than a 'real' NYC Sadowsky. I kinda get the cheaper Sadowsky being outsourced, but yeah, the masterbuilts are confused. The whole process from start to finish has been a marketing disaster quite frankly (IMO), which is a shame, because clearly Sadowsky is one of the top names in the bass world. Si

Yup, Ashdown customer service is genuinely excellent! Si

Looks to have been filled to me. Si

Refinish body and neck (including decal) Through-body mod Replacement hardware Replacement pickguard Added Jazz pickup I suppose really, if the body and neck woods are genuinely '62, depends how important that is to you....and how expensive it is. There's not a lot of the original 'vibe' left in my opinion. Si

Really missing my old Lakland 55-01 today. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly basses, including another great 55-01......but I would have the original back in a flash!

@Sibob - the best you can hope for is a first refusal should he ever have a change of heart.

@hiram.k.hackenbacker Exactly, I live in hope haha

I’ll take two basses to 90% of my gigs. I’m the same in that I’m primarily a ‘passive P’ type player, but the way I see it, if something breaks on a paid gig, I want to quickly be able to turn around and grab another bass. Rarely ever happens, if ever, but no skin off my nose taking two basses. One is very much a spare, I’m not swapping between them. On rare occasions I’ll have to train to a gig or something, so I’ll take one bass, but make sure I have spare strings etc. Si

Pics and weight updated Si -
Oh the HX Stomp B15 amp model 😍

Without googling, I’m not actually aware of any off-the-shelf 35” 4 strings. Might be easier to simply buy the bass you want at 34” and have Newtone or someone wind you a higher tension BEAD string set. edit: duuurrrr, obviously a Dingwall would be a perfect shout edit 2: And apparently Spector did one: https://reverb.com/item/26020459-spector-euro-4-lx-35-435-w-snc-haz-preamp Si

Yeah, it's only the Scarlett Solo, 2i2 & 4i4 that are bus powered, everything up from those in the range are mains powered. Si // Focusrite

Hi all, SOLD Moving soon, so thinning the herd a little (although it will likely get replaced with a Lakland shortscale 😅). - Unknown body, finished by the previous owner (a member on here). It’s a nitro finish, with a couple of slightly pale sections (ie it’s not perfect, see pics), but it’s pretty good and should age nicely. Likely Alder, but unsure. - Guitar Northwest rosewood P neck, B width I believe. Nice neck which I’ve added a 60’s Precision decal to. A couple of light sprays of lacquer, so could be built up further, or removed. - Hipshot licensed tuners. First ones fitted to the neck, so no extra holes. - Fralin pickup, very nice vintage P vibes - Comes with a spare tort guard. - Currently strung with La Bella black nylons. Put together and setup by a professional luthier near me in Hemel, plays really nicely. Cash, but would add cash for a Lakland Hollowbody 30 in black. Weight is just under 8.5lbs.

I figure that, in the same way that the Waza DM2 fits in with their DDx offerings, a Waza OC2 will bring back some of the potential 'vintage' OC2 revenue from people who need less in a pedal than the OC5, and have a penchant for the OC2 name. We'll see Si
-
Nope lol Si
-
I had an OC-5 on loan from Boss to try it, found it very impressive from a 'copping an OC-2 sound' point of view, WAY better than the OC-3, which was terrible. However, there was just way more on it than I want/need, it's definitely aimed at the acoustic/guitar market over the bass market in my opinion.....which is odd given it's heritage. I get it from a commercial point of view, but still. I'll wait for a Waza OC-2, and use my originals until then Si

SOLD Hi all, This came in a bass that I've now swapped the original pickup back into. Not too much to say really, all the details on the pickup are here: https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/gzr-p.html I think there are a couple of washers missing for the pots, and I looking at their website a piece from the harness kit photo too (although that piece isn't mentioned in the instructions at all, so not sure what that is). Essentially this came out of a passive bass working perfectly well, so that's what you'll get. The pickup screws aren't included, so you'd need those, although presumably they'll come from the bass you're swapping it into. Also the ground wire solderless connector has a snipped ground-wire, so you could replace the connector of course, or sack it off altogether and just solder the ground wire to the input jack directly. As such, works perfectly well, not quite in same state as a new one, and so: SOLD Pics this evening Cheers Si
