Ed Reynolds Lakland 4 94

[Billleivers]

Just wanted to introduce my bass in case there’s any interest!

I bought it 14 years ago after searching for a USA made Lakland in the UK - unsuccessfully! I was on the verge of importing a new 4 94 from the USA when this popped up on eBay from a collector in Chicago. It’s a one off 4 94 made by Ed Reynolds from parts supplied by Dan Lakin. Ed was luthier consultant to the fledgling Lakland operation. It has a chambered body, pre-CBS Jazz pickup in neck position, Seymour Duncan MM in bridge position, nitro paint finish (lots of dings!) and fabulous neck. 
It’s been my go-to bass since I bought it and I love it, though very few bass players I meet in the UK seem to know much about USA Laklands, let alone a one-off like this!

I've never had a Lakland, but that is a lovely piece of Lakland/Dan Lakin history. How long have you had it?

lovely! I've a 5 94 that is amazing ... but I always forget how amazing till I play it! 
1998 model I think- the original Bart pickups and a John East UniPre

Says he bought it 14 years ago.

 

For the OP. If you’re thinking about selling put it in the classifieds for the price you expect.
