As a great fan of natural, what a super bass - what would that quality cost in Fender custom shop. Nice bass for someone at remarkable value.

Where are you? not much info about you is there?

You have got to be kidding me
Had a wanted ad out for one of these for ages, nothing.
Got fed up of waiting so I buy a new one two weeks ago for £599 and now look what happens, I kinda knew it would though !!
This is a silly bargain folks, one of the best necks I've ever played.
Good luck with the sale dude.

Might be interested, is there a case for posting?

This seems like one hell of a price for a Lakland with Bartolini preamp, pups and Hipshots! Must... resist...

In fairness the onboard standard MK1 electronics in the 44-01 are not really Bartolini, more "Bartolini Licensed" and made in the far east rather than the USA.
It's the same package more or less as on a lot of Ibanez SR and Cort Basses.
Bartolini do a drop in USA replacement pickup though, the MK4 CBC-B and T respectively.
I'm pretty sure that's the only drop in that's the same size as the MK1 P-ups. The Nordy big singles do fit apparently but with a slight gap of 2mm top and bottom.
Despite what I read on TB to the contrary, to my ear the upgrade ( I've done it ) Pickups aren't all that different stock, I've also fitted the NTMB+GF preamp, again, not that much of a difference to stock. maybe a tad smoother overall but not a great lot in it. The MK1's are nice and growly and the front pickup does a nice P Bass tone when soloed.
The necks are Plecc'd in Chicago like their USA cousins and if the neck is anything like the one on mine then hey,
This is a helluva lotta Bass for £350.

PS, sounds killer with Ti's.

Had one of these myself in the exact same body finish and neck finish.

Great basses. Love the neck on these.
