2008 Lakland 55-02 Black/Rosewood - Price drop - £750 - *SOLD* £850 Hazlemere, Bucks

[Sibob]

Hi all,

 

Moving on this fantastic 2008 Lakland 55-02 for a couple of different reasons; I’m primarily a 4 string player and I’m looking to order another Lakland US bass. Last in, first out and all that.
 

This bass is stock, so Lakland LH3 pickups/preamp, as well as a really nice slim and fast neck profile, not as chunky as my 2016 55-01. The colour is a solid ‘piano’ black, not a black sparkle like more recent 55-02s.

 

The bass is in great condition, no wear to write home about other than the standard swirling you might see on a 17 year old bass. The input jack has a slight intermittent issue which would be a simple fix for anyone with a soldering iron. Typically I would, but only have lead solder and don’t want to have the fumes with a new baby in the house.
 

Weight wise it’s pretty much bang on 9lbs (see photo). Not unusual for Skylines of this era, but fairly rare of the newer ones. 
 

These are the only pictures I have of it so far, will grab a few more tomorrow (along with a post-it haha).

 

Potentially interested in a Guild Starfire II in trade (not green) in trade. Or a Sire P5-5 in white as part-ex.

 

Don’t really have the means/brain space to ship it at the moment, so pickup/meetup preferred. I’m in Hazlemere, Bucks, basically High Wycombe.

£750 inc very basic gig bag.

 

 

 

Cheers

Si

Made in Korea?

Indonesia, the changeover was 2008/2009 (both factories were Cort interestingly), so this would be a very early Indonesian build.

Sold mine earlier this year and regretted it ever since, absolutely fantastic live basses - not a bad weight for one of these either!

It’s still with me, I haven’t been pushing it as I might get away with not selling it…..but if there was an offer, I’d consider it still.

I wish someone would buy this - I have a 55-94 and a modded SK5-CL already... do I need a 55-02 as well? Probably not, but I'm sorely tempted!! GLWTS.

Superb price for such a capable bass.
