You sound surprised lol I’ve owned a couple of BB’s before, 614’s and 615’s. Si

Decided to do a little Google of 1983 BB’s (because it’s a solid birth-year bass), and this wonderful BB3000 popped up, was for sale here for a bit! Would like like an ‘83 BB3000 to fill that BB/birth-year hole in my life haha Si

SOLD Moving on my OG Dark Driving. Now discontinued, this is a bass-tuned overdrive draws its roots firmly from the Blueberry Bass Overdrive. Also excellent on guitar. Excellent condition, never gigged. No trades thanks. Postage is £5 or collection from Amersham/Wycombe areas SOLD Si-

I've owned a couple of Marusczyk's, and they're ok, if you pimp it out with decent Hipsot hardware, then it'll be on the way. But I didn't really get the feeling from those basses that they're doing anything particularly special. Fender, yeah fine, their QC has gotten WAY better over the last 5 years or so. But I find their new basses just a little bit uninspiring, I couldn't tell you why. Sandberg, similar deal, clearly got a lot going for them, lots of love, but they have just never done anything for me really. Where I settled was Lakland, in my opinion, their Skylines are on-par with US Fender stuff, and if you have the budget to move into their US Custom stuff, the necks are wonderful as well as a full pallet of custom options. You said you've checked them before, but was that one of their active models? Worth bearing in mind that they do make straight P and J passive models too. Still a family-run company too. I think the only place I'd go after Lakland would be G&L, they seem to be very decent for the price, even if they are a mild deviation from the 'Fender' aesthetic. Si

Fave 'heavy' band is The Dillinger Escape plan probably, but heaviest I go is probably something like John Frum: Si

Oh no.....I had my Lakland DJ5 set up properly, and now I don't want to sell it!! 😅

Sibob replied to dmckee's topic in Basses For Sale
If only it was their short-scale version These are lovely though Si -
Thanks but Warwicks aren't my bag Cheers Si -
No trades I'm afraid, unless you randomly have a Lakland Hollowbody short-scale (HB-30) hanging around. Cheers Si

Bitsa Precision. Quality parts. Shoreline Gold. SOLD

Reduced to £425 Si -
Great bass and a great seller! All the confidence! Si

Price drops Si

And to add to the Elrick love, here’s my NJS5 which effectively replaced the bass I sold to @Al Krow, because black: Effectively the same bass, but with ‘Jazz’ aesthetics and the switches on push/pull knobs. Si

SOLD I bought this in January 2020, it came out on 1 gig with me, and then of course the end-times happened. So, basically new, mint condition, still has the box etc. While I'm looking to reduce my gear currently, I might be tempted by a Little Mark 2 in p/x. This is the GR Bass 'pure' amp. It's essentially their power amp, with a gain stage (so you can plug in your bass directly), but with no EQ, so great for those using preamps on their board or bass etc. More info here: https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/pure-amp-800/ SOLD We can talk about postage at your cost/risk, otherwise collection/meetup around Hemel Hempstead/High Wycombe areas. Cheers Si -
If you can find a set, I’d go for the Bartolini B-Axis P/J set. If not, I’d go Dimarzio Model P & J Si
-
How do their satin finishes wear? I imagine they might be more susceptible to bumps and scrapes? Lovely collection! Si

SOLD Mild deja-vu here, as I sold one of these, albeit different colour, a few years ago (to great regret as some of you might know haha), however I need to sell either my DJ5 or this, so while I'm not sure I want rid of this 55-01, the first one to go...the other stays. This is an excellent condition 2010 Lakland Skyline 55-01, and has upgraded pickups and electronics. It's been fitted with US Bartolini Dual Coils and Bartolini's 3 band, active/passive NTMB circuit, the same as in many high-end boutique basses. That's around £350 worth of upgraded electronics, not including fitting/setup etc. Lakland Skylines typically don’t come with a case, this will come with a simple gigbag/cover, or for an extra £50, a Fusion Urban gigbag in excellent condition. Weight comes in at approx 9.3lbs on my kitchen scales. Balances beautifully. It's currently strung with La Bella Gold White Nylon Tapewounds. Although I can switch these out for some La Bella RX 45-105 steels if preferred. The bass will almost certainly want a setup if we do that though. I'm pretty firm on the price due to the work done on the bass. No trades I'm afraid, unless you randomly have a Lakland Hollowbody short-scale (HB-30) hanging around. Would prefer safe collection/meetup in Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe areas. Can discuss postage at your expense & risk (I would then recommend the added Fusion gigbag). SOLD Many thanks Si

I wouldn't say it's a 'step up' as such, more of a side step (purely due to aesthetics), very similar necks, tones, weight etc Si

I'm having a bit of a cull of my basses at the moment due to moving flat (and accepting that I don't 'NEEED' all I have), and within that I decided to set about essentially 'swapping' my Elrick Standard Evolution 5 for one of their NJS5 basses. The former was a wonderful bass, but I do definitely gravitate towards more 'trad' aesthetics. As such, my Evol 5 sold on here, and around the same time, the following arrived. It's a wonderfully stealthy looking NJS5 (New Jazz Standard 5). All Bartolini electronics (of course). Weighs in at about 9.2lbs, so a little heavier than my previous Elrick, but still fantastic for a 35" active Jazz 5: Lovely If you're after a 'super jazz', then these really should be on your radar!!

SOLD Moollon P-Classic -56 or Nash JB63 for Lakland 55-94
Sibob replied to Blaque's topic in Basses For Sale
That Moollon 🤤 Si -
If you have the means, just get a cheap shortscale and see if you have the same issues. If you do, perhaps it’s warm-up regime or perhaps it’s something else about playing position/general health. Si
-
Probably quite a few I wager. For those despairing, go look up T-pain’s NPR concert. Just because someone uses a production tool for commercial purposes, doesn’t mean they needed it to get to that point. Si

SOLD Relatively new to me, but I am mid-cull, and I have two other 5 strings. This will be withdrawn if my 55-01 sells first. Excellent condition Lakland Skyline DJ5, fitted with new La Bella RX Nickels. Weight is 9.2lbs Bass is totally stock and comes with a simple gig bag/cover. Or I can add a Fusion Urban bag (pretty heavy duty) for another £50. Happy to take more photos if needed. No trades unless you happen to have a Lakland Hollowbody shortscale (HB-30) you want to part-ex. Would prefer safe collection/meetup in Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe areas. Can discuss postage at your expense & risk (I would then recommend the added Fusion gigbag). SOLD Cheers Si

Bas bought my Elrick 5 string last night, very easy transaction, lovely guy, easy meet-up/payment etc. Thanks very much Si
-
I think they’re relatively new aren’t they?! Not sure I’ve seen anyone on here post about buying one. Andrew is north London I think, and might have one you could try if you’re local?! Si
