Lakland Daryl Jones DJ4 £690 - *SOLD* £740 Chichester

[SumOne]

Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones DJ4 

 

Very good condition. This is a nice bass - the best 4 string passive Jazz type I've owned (and that includes USA Fenders), everything fits together precisely and just feels well made with good attention to detail, nice ergonomics and weight, good classic passive J bass tones. 

 

- 3.9kg and well balanced.

- Hipshot ultralight tuners.

- Rosewood fingerboard, pearl block inlays. 

- Slightly sparkling paint job, matching headstock.

- 34" scale, 21 frets.

- NYXL strings. 

- Serial number starts 07, so I think that makes it a 2007.

- As far as I know, the pickups and everything else is stock.

 

If I was staying with 4 strings then I'd definitely keep this, but I have my eye something quite different (an active 35" 5 string) so I might withdraw this if that goes before this sells.  

 

£740 £690  (that's about as low as I'll go as I could sell it at a shop for >£800 at 15% (£120) commission) 

 

Collect/meet up preferred, I live in Chichester but am often in London for work. Postage could be arranged but I'd need to get a good box (I don't have a hard case).

Thanks,

Does everything work properly and on the picture position of the 4 string looks like it is closer to the 3 string? Is that from the picture or there is some purpose for that?

Yes. It's all working and as it should be.

 

Everything is stock: 19mm spacing at bridge, the string spacing/positioning at nut and bridge is how Lakland (and many other manufacturers) do it - the G is slightly closer to the edge of the fretboard than the E is.

I'll consider a part exchange for a cheaper and relatively small backup bass like a SR300 for £200 off.

Sold.

 

(In-fact it was part exchanged/swopped and it felt a bit like christmas leaving the shop: Swopped for 2nd hand Ibanez SR300 (as a backup bass), Yamaha acoustic, earplugs, Boss multi-fx).
