Very early Lakland 55-94 Deluxe £2500 Berkshire

[TimoD]

I’ve owned and loved this bass for many years, it’s light, has a thin silky smooth neck and sounds just so right in most styles of music. The way it balances on the strap is amazing and it feels and plays like a 34” scale but it’s a 35 as they all are. 

 

it’s serial number dates it to one of the first 100 basses produced and has the bart pickups and original preamp. I replaced the bridge for a genuine USA Lakland one but couldn’t get one without the logo as it would have been originally. Apart from that it’s totally standard and un touched. 

Condition is virtually as new, there is a small mark on the front near where your thumb goes but it’s hard to show in a picture or see even when you are close up. Other than that, it’s dam near perfect. It has the original lakland hard shell case as well. I’m not even sure I want to sell it so won’t be accepting offers because I believe it’s priced very reasonably already.
 

I would like a Yamaha BBP35 or similar PJ 5 string so px is possible with cash. I am looking for 2 x 112 vanderclay 600w cabs as well. 
 

thanks for looking

Beautiful bass.

 

How light?

[TimoD]

I think about 4kg maybe less but I can’t weigh it to see. I have another bass which is 3.6 and there’s not much difference between them
