dave_bass5 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Having decided to go back to 4 strings i think i will get rid of the above bass. Its Black so not the deluxe version but i have had a NMTB fitted and it has the Mid selector switch on the outside to make life easier. Good condition. A few minor scratches that are only really visible in the right light on the back. going back to a P-bass hopefully although i might use my Jazz for now. Open to offers/trades but wont post so central London only. In no hurry. cheers. EDIT: well, i said no hurry and its been a year now. It has been on hold but now i really dont need it. Looking for £400 or close, still pick up only. Edited November 17, 2008 by dave_bass5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 After two really great gigs with my 4 string Jazz im now decided to get rid of the Lakland. Looking for around £450, pick up form London only as i have no way of posting it. Ill throw in a Ritter gig bag if i get the asking price, if not it doesnt come with a case. I now have pics. Its in good condition. These are the scuff marks. They came about because of stupidly resting the bass against the amp. Doesn't affect playing at all. Its a lovely shallow neck.

niceguyhomer Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I had one of these Dave - it also had the NTMB preamp. Fantastic bass at a great price this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks homer. Yes, i fell in love with it the first time i picked it up and hadnt used my 4 string sinse the day i got it but im getting a bit tired of the sound. As you know if changed cabs quite a bit this year looking for a better sound and have just realised its the Bass. Lovley sound etc but im really looking for a p-bass sound. got my eye on a MIJ so this has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in the market for a nice 5 or 6er atm.. What kinda sound do you get out of this?[/quote] Well i dont have a lot to compare it with but the neck is quite shallow (as in depth, not width). Specs are on the Lakland website if that helps but its shallower than my Jazz and its not too wide. Soundwise its got two jazz type pups so thats sort of what it sounds like. but it has the NTMB which has Active trebble, mid (with selectable mid freq) and lows. plus mix and volume. It also has a pot inside to adjust the active level. Its very varied in what it can sound like but all based around a jazz type of sound IMHO.

Even though ive gone back to it its only because i dont have anytihng else at the moment. I would say though that the 55-01 is a bit less Jazz sounding than a jazz . Maybe i should have said its more like an Active Jazz than just a standard Jazz but i guess you cant get to far from the single coil pup sound.

Thing is there isnt really anything i want. ive just ordered a new 50's Classic P-Bass to replace the 55-01 so im hoping to sell the 55-01 to cover the cost (or get close to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the price for this one is a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Bumping this old thread as it now has to go. Same offer, just lower price now. Also open to trades for a fretless if anyone has one of around the same value. must be lined though. Edited November 7, 2008 by dave_bass5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
