SumOne Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) This looks like a good Black Friday deal from Guitar Guitar. If my Sandberg sells in time I'll be going for it: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/13022212363316--lakland-skyline-darryl-jones-5-string-white-pearl-maple-fingerbo .....in fact, I might just get it wheter my Sandberg sells in time or not, then I can compare them both - if the Sandberg wins then I can return the DJ5 to Guitar Guitar up until 31st January (they are running an extended returns window), if the DJ5 wins then I'd expect that the Sandberg will sell for that sort of price eventually (and if it doesn't and I get stuck for money I could just return the DJ5). Flawless plan! Edited November 25, 2021 by SumOne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris G Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I Purchased A Lakland 5594 In The Early 2000s With The Bartolini Preamp & Pickups And It Sounded Fantastic ! I Sold It Like A Dummy And Now Can’t Afford One As Mine Back Then Was Around $2200, Now There Around $4500 ! I Ended Up Buying A Used 5502, I Believe Around 2011 With The LH3 And Lakland Pickups And Did Not Like The Bright Aggressive Tone So I Ordered Me The Bartolinis Like My Older 5594 USA And Now I’m More Than Happy ! The Skyline Is Still Close To $2000 Around $1800 New ! The Skyline Is Just As Good As My USA Version In My Honest Opinion, My 5594 Had A Quilted Maple Top And Rosewood Fretboard, My 5502 Is A 3 Color Antique Sunburst, Plain Ash Body With Rosewood Fretboard ! I’m Extremely Happy Since I Installed The BARTS ! Sounds Fantastic ! Most All Boutique Basses Used To Come With Bartolinis And I Now Know Why They Just Sound Amazing ! I Owned A Roscoe LG3005 With Barts Sounded Amazing As Also I Owned A Tobias Killer B5 With Barts Sounded Great ! Love My 5502 And Will Keep It ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 55-94D in 2003 and loved the sound, feel and look. It retired my Wal and was my #1 bass for 14 years, but, at just over 10lbs started to cause aches and pains in my bad back, so I sold it. Last year I bought a 55-02 and while I thought the sound of the LH3's was OK I missed the Barts. At 8 1/2lbs, which is light for a Lakland, it was still causing me back problems, so it was also sold. My #1 bass is now a 6 1/2lb Sandberg and I was toying with the idea of installing a set of Barts. @Chris G which Barts did you buy?

Chadu25 Posted Monday at 12:13 Share Posted Monday at 12:13 In love with this amazing 55-94! I put together this quick montage and a bit of groovin' around in my favourite setting. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy777 Posted yesterday at 12:49 Share Posted yesterday at 12:49 I’ve not seen this thread before - I’m a massive Lakland fan, I’d go as far as to say it’s my favourite brand, started with a 44-01 and just bought a 55-02 Deluxe with an ebony board (pic below) which is immense. I also want to get a 55-01 at some point to make a ‘super jazz’ out of - gonna stick Nordy big singles and probably an East Uni 5 preamp in it. They’re such good basses to play, the necks are fantastic, they do everything you ask of them and you can gig them forever!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
