MarkusWarwick Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Lakland Skyline 55-01 - price drop! (again!) Hi Guys n Lasses, I bought this just at the tail end of November for just over 800 pounds, but have absolutely no use for a 5 string anymore and dont want to see it go to waste, as its a great bass for great players. Spec wise, its fantastic: Natural Colour, Bartolini Mk-1 soapbar pickups, Fishman/Bartolini active pre-amp + Circuitry, Hipshot Tuners, Was only played a handful of times in the studio for a project that is now finished so hoping someone is looking for 1, or even for a good trade (Warwick, Spector, Musicman, etc) for a 4 string. Im based in Glasgow, but could use a courier if you like it and want it sent that bit further. Anyway, its in perfect condition, comes with the black Lakland padded gig bag, and Im throwing in a set of Ernie Ball replacements incase you dont like the Lakland own brand strings. I've added photos from the site but if you want to send me an email, i'll include photos of the 1 i have. (its the exact same, no scratches, dents, dings, or anythin). Cheers Mark Edit: sorry peeps, If its going straight sale, I would be hoping 600 firm cash. Its basically brand new so I wont cut my own throat to sell it, or go any lower than that.

thegreenman555 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 that is such a good price for this strung tho' body gtr.. If only I could sell my granny I'd be there man. But right now I'm on an economy drive. dont you just love posts like this 'i love your gtr, but I cant afford it' what a waste of time,.. so go on, tempt me - I had a G&L L2500 USA which I bitterly regret getting rid off - how would you say this compares? the G&L had 2 $$buckers, active passive switching, single/double pole selection, plus 3 (if not four) way pre-amp. C'mon, give me the hard sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I'm gettin rid of it, is that I have no use for a 5 string. Amazing bass though. G+L are good, but for sheer tone and playability they just dont compare (*I say that having tried one while shopping for this). Its a different level, honestly. As I say though, You know what you're looking at when you seen this ad. A Lakland is made to the highest standard. It feels, looks and plays the way it should.......and a little more........................But then, its upto you..........................

But essentially, as I read it, this is a Korean built, US finished bass. Seems they ask top $$ for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It done me well for the few times it was in the studio, but I dont need it. I'd rather see someone pay 600 than 800 for it and know that its gettin used. Theres a lot o stuff about it on the Lakland site, plus if you google reviews on it, you'll see people aint left disappointed. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
