[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1344790187' post='1769163'] what are the pups and pre in this please? [/quote] The pick ups are Laklands own which I think are designed with Bartolini and the preamp is the Lakland LH3. More info can be found here: [url="http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm[/url]

Here's a quick video demo of the bass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28nMeAOQndc&feature=youtu.be I'm going from the humbucker to both and then the single coil and panning between all 3 in each posisition. EQ is all flat.

Just to say Dave is fantastic to deal with and being the previous owner of this bass I can also vouch for how good it is. It can do Marcus with ease but it's far more capable than just that and of course IMHO it's the best colour combo.

[quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1344459480' post='1765027'] How does it sound in drop D or C? [/quote] I've played in D with it and it's nice and clear and the tension is nice too, for drop C it would just need a slight action adjustment and maybe a heavier gauge but I'm sure it will sound nice and growly but still crisp and defined

Hey guys, This is a bit of an urgent sale as I've just checked my accounts and I need to pay off my credit card ASAP before I head off to California at the end of the month, so unfortunately I need to sell this amazing bass which I'm already regretting :/ I think everybody knows about these great basses. They are regarded as quite the swiss-army knife of basses as they can basically replicate any tone you might, from Hi-Fi slap to a mellow dub like tone, and everything in between. I got this in a trade from WaveyDavey a few months ago and he had looked after the bass brilliantly, as such the bass is in great condition all around. And he also acquired a scratch plate for the bass which is on as you can see in the pics but it's not fixed on properly, it's purely held on with double sided tape so if you wish to remove it you simply need to pop it off. It is a 2007 model also. Pics: And Daves picture without the scratch plate: WITHDRAWN Again this is a reluctant sale and if my money situation improves quickly then I will withdraw this bass. Any other info or questions please just ask. Thanks guys, Josh.

Just to say I've seen and heard this bass in person and can safely say Greg is a great player and a greatguy to deal with

[quote name='jahfish' timestamp='1342635896' post='1738477'] active or passive just out of interest? [/quote] Active/Passive Push-Pull In passive it has a great jazz sounding quality but with a bit more low end.

Thanks guys

If my streamer LX 5 sells soon then I might very well buy this back.

I've had this bass for over 3/4 months now and I haven't really taken to it as much as I was hoping to and even though it sounded great on my bands E.P I still don't pick it up first, especially since reacquiring a 44-02, so it's time to move it on. This bass has been a fair bit of hassle too. Since getting it from the original owner I've had to have the bass professionally set up and the neck shimmed by Rob at Waghorn Guitars in Bristol in order to make this bass playable. When I received the bass, both the bridge and the nut wouldn't lower much at all and the neck had a considerable bow to it as well. All of which meant the action was at least a good 6-7mm high and wouldn't go any lower. The jack socket was also knackered but that has also been fixed. But now the bass is very much playable and all the electronics and hardware work perfectly fine. Although it should be noted that Rob found it hard to straighten the neck out fully as it was in such a bow for a long time that it's impossible to get it dead straight, so there is still a bow to the neck but it is nothing serious and a low playable action can easily be achieved. I've tried to show this in one of the pictures as best I can. Again I'd like to stress that Rob did a great job and that the bass is now very much playable and adjustable. Here it is in action in our video and as I said I used it to record the songs as well: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5W065kcGNM&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/media] Also the bass is over 10 years old as well, the serial number is: E-075336-00, and as such it has a few dings here and there and bit of buckle rash on the back of the body, all of which I've tried to highlight in the photos. [u][b]Pics:[/b][/u] [u][b][/b][/u] [u][b]Trades:[/b][/u] Try me, but please no Thunderbirds or anything under £400. [b][u]Price:[/u][/b] SOLD. If anyone needs anymore info then please just ask, Thanks guys, Josh.

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1337948787' post='1667865'] Early Skyline JOs had Fralins, they switched to Lakland pickups in 2007. The first two digits of the serial number should give you the build date. I think Aeros were only fitted on early models of the Darryl Jones (not the JO). [/quote] Thanks for that mate It's 2008 model going from the serial so it's definietly Lakland pick ups.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1337932907' post='1667501'] Do you know what pickups this has? [/quote] I think they're are stock Lakland pick ups, I'm not too sure how I would go about checking if they're Fralins or Aero's though.
