Excellent condition Lakland DJ5 in Lake Placid Blue.  Bought in 2016 from Stompbox in North London and gigged pretty rarely.  Mainly recorded, hence excellent condition, (one small nick on the headstock).

NB - I kept this bass passive, did not install any preamps etc, stock pickups.  Sounds amazing! 

£900 plus postage.

Specs:

"The Skyline Series Darryl Jones Signature Model DJ-5 features the same “updated classic” tone as our DJ-4, but is combined with the legendary Lakland 35” scale – the reason all Lakland 5s have such fabulous bottom tone. When you talk about clarity, tautness and tone in regards to the low B, you’re talking about our passion! Graphite reinforcement bars are added for tonal stability and the dual vintage voiced single coil Lakland pickups are hand fabricated and wound with exact tolerances in our Chicago shop.

Looks, ergonomics, playability, and that big bottom tone make this one of Lakland’s most popular and longstanding models."

Used to have one of these, amazing bass for the money!

Yep - me too..

Mine had a lovely neck on it as I recall and sounded just like a Jazz bass should.. Looked the business too, just like this one! 

Anyway, that's enough of my reminiscing..

Thanks! Yeah, incredible bass. Have accumulated too many 5 strings so need to sell this but it's such fun to play and record with.

Don't suppose you still have this? Very much interested. Cheers.

Hi mate.  Sorry for the very slow reply this end!  It is still available yes!

I've been so busy doing family stuff during lockdown I'd forgotten about Basschat completely sorry.

Are you still keen?  DM me if you are. 😀
