Chris2112 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 They were popular on Talkbass a few years as a builder making half decent short scale basses. The general opinion seemed to be that if you don't expect high end boutique quality then they are quite reasonable. I don't think I've ever heard of one coming to the UK though. You could perhaps have the first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x18 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) I have a Landing L1 in my collection - --Its superb in sunburst and you can see the actual one in Pics 9 and 11 on the Landing site. The finish Fittings and workmanship is excellent --as good as any boutique bass!!! You are welcome to come over and try it out and judge for yourself if you are near Leeds anytime - I May even be persuaded to part with it!!!! Will.

They are fantastic looking, not massively different but they have something about them The price they gave me seem reasonable, although after import tax i reckon we are probably talking around the £1600 and for that sort of money il be ringing Rob at Status Is yours active?

2x18 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I bought mine from the guy who originally imported it new!! -- He was reluctant to sell! Mine is in Excellent condition and has the EMG HB active pickups fitted ( 18volts ) and you can have it ( complete with fitted case ) for about a 1/3rd of that price! Come over and try it out! Will.
