edster Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Hi, I'm selling my Lakland Skyline 55-01.Didn't expect to sell this but I've bought an ACG j type and it has to go. No trades I'm afraid, straight sale only. It's Tobacco burst with Rosewood neck. Completely stock and is in absolutely mint condition. No scratches or dings. It's never been gigged or left my house since I bought it. It played not too badly when I got it but I gave it to our own talented 7-String who transformed it into a fantastic (was going to say "awesome" but decided against it) sounding and playing bass with a full set up. It's currently strung with Rotosounds. The body facilitates through body stringing but the Roto's are too short for it. Bass will be shipped in a HSC and I'm selling for £480 inc of postage [attachment=118411:Lakland 55-01 006.JPG].[attachment=118409:Lakland 55-01 001.JPG][attachment=118410:Lakland 55-01 003.JPG] [attachment=118412:Lakland 55-01 007.JPG][attachment=118413:Lakland 55-01 008.JPG][attachment=118414:Lakland 55-01 010.JPG] Edited September 15, 2012 by edster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm not sure of the value of this bass so I priced on my recollection of previous sales. However I'm open to sensible offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Great bass at an excellent price. If I had a bit more spare cash, this would already be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks. It is a lovely bass to play, Sounds really good and I'm sad to let it go but with the new bass arriving today I can't justify two 5ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Just noticed the knobs on the bass. Did they come factory fitted or have they been added later? If they were factory fitted, it means the bass has the Bartolini NTMB pre-amp (or possibly a Lakand LH-3 system if later model) as fitted to the 55-02. It is/was an available upgrade over the stock (Bartolini MK-1) pre-amp. Edited September 16, 2012 by P-T-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) The knobs are factory fitted. The bass is unmodded and as it left the factory. Thanks for the added info. I didn't know that. Edited September 16, 2012 by edster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
