martinbass7750 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I've decided to sell my Lakland Skyline 55-01 NTMB - I moved back to a 4 string Jazz back in July, and I've decided to stick with 4 string now. Sean has kiindly put some pics up of the bass, see below. Here's a brief description: Lakland Skyline 55-01 (5 string) in candy apple red, with maple fretboard. American made NTMB electronics. It's been through a few hands on this forum - I've been the owner since about March 2007, and gigged it up until July 2008. Condition is very good. New Rotosound strings. Gig bag. Looking for £400.

Sean Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Here's some, I'm sure Martin won't mind... It's a fantastic bass and turned me on to Lakland and 5-strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Lovely bass. Would recommend it to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbass7750 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks Sean and Pete, Yes it is a lovely bass, and it still looks the same as in Sean's pics (thanks for posting them, I was just about to take some). It's taken me a while to decide to sell it; when I first bought the Jazz I wasn't sure I liked it so I kept the Lakland to fall back on, but now I find I've fallen in love with the Jazz neck. I played a Clover Apeiron the other weekend at the Bass Direct stand, and I'm thinking about getting one of those, so funds are required!

martinbass7750 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi - I've never played a Warwick, but I've been told I might not like the neck profile. I'm really looking for a sale, but it might be interesting to try a Warwick. Where are you based? And which Warwicks do you have?

Mokl Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think this may have been mine, once upon a time. Fabulous bass indeed, played and sounded wonderful.... why on earth did I sell it? lol! That's a serious amount of bass for not a lot of money. You don't fancy a swap for a lovely (but criminally under-played) Bacchus Jazz do you (4 string)?

martinbass7750 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 it's a possibility - I haven't played a bob glaub, but I'd certainly consider it.

martinbass7750 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Could well have been yours, I know it's been with several people on this forum. It's still in great condition, just doesn't get played since I moved back to 4 string. Tell me about your bacshus jazz please And whereabouts are you?

Mokl Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Just seen your location and had to laugh, I'm near Gloucester too - but I know this bass (if it is my old one) went pretty far north at one point! My Bacchus Jazz is one of the hand made ones, tealy blue nitro finish, Seymour singles, maple board, Gotoh bridge. If you can wait I'll get you some pics, although I may not be able to do that until thursday as I won't really be at home until then. Not sure of the age, possibly early 00's... condition is very good. PM me if you're interested and I'll try and get some pics to you on thursday. Matt EDIT: Should mention that the neck is not quite your classic Fender Jazz - flatter radius I would say, but still fairly narrow at the nut.

I'm still slightly unsure about selling it, but I just don't think I'll play 5 string again so I'd rather have another decent Jazz 4 string.

martinbass7750 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Post xmas bump - still available, and still a great bass.
