Lakland 55-01 Skyline Series (with Nordstrand Fat Stacks and Bartolini preamp) REDUCED £700 - *SOLD* £775 Liverpool

[soundcheck]

Hi all, 

 

This is a much loved and gorgeous instrument which I've had for over 10 years. Sounds totally ace. 

 

Maple neck and fingerboard. 

 

It's had some upgrades:

US Bartolini NTMB 918F preamp 

Nordstand Fat Stacks pickups - which are lovely in both humbucking and single coil modes 

Tortoise shell pickguard from Jeanies - the people who make them for Lakland

USA black Hipshot Ultralite Tuners

Black string tree 

Black Schaller strap locks 

and metal knobs 

 

Push pull knob for passive / active mode. 

 

A light scuff to the upper horn (see photo)

The little plastic catch bit for the battery compartment at the back has come off (see photo) - I use a house key to open it. It stays shut and works fine. 

 

-----

 

Extras:

The strings on it are new but not the greatest, so will include a brand new set of Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt which I love.

And a new 9V battery.

And new soft case - very light but good enough to carry it home in : )

 

I'm based in Liverpool and still a bit nervous about shipping but open to it. If you can make it to mine, you're of course welcome to try it through a couple of different amps/cabs (Aguilar, EBS, Acoustic Image). 

Any questions, just let me know. 

Many thanks

Of course, this is a lovely bass, but Jeannie's closed down last year, when the owner died.  GLWTS anyway!

Thanks! That pickguard was installed over 10 years ago

This used to be my bass and I did all the mods! (The Bass Gallery did the pickups and preamp)

 

I always loved this bass and regretted selling it. If only I had the spare $$$

Bump for the weekend ☀️

Cant believe no 5 string guys have snapped this up yet........ The pups in this are seriously top end. Imo you cant beat any of the nordstrand soap bar variants for versatility and piano like clarity. Killer combo with that maple neck.... Chris rock better watch out cause this will slap harder than will smith 😉
