Philly Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I have just bought a new bass (again) which I am hoping will be a keeper, so my one in one out policy must be enforced. It’s sadly going to have to be my Lakland JO DPLE, which I bought about a year ago from this forum. It’s a Dudepit limited edition in a Sherwood Green usual sparkly lakland finish, and matching headstock. Only 24 of these basses were ever made and only 4 with the maple board option (or so I hear!) It’s a beautiful looking and playing bass, the neck is one of the slimmest and easiest I have played. It has a j-retro installed as standard and also the stock fralin pickups, which makes the tonal variation excellent. Also has a spare black pearl pickguard It has a little bit of buckle rash on the back and a couple of little marks, the worst one shown in the pictures. Looking for what I paid for it which is £580. It doesn’t come with a case but I can probably chuck a used hard case in for an extra £30 if needed/if I can.

Bigwan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just a slight correction - there are only 23 of these in existence. 24 were ordered but one turned out to be STUPIDLY heavy and Dan Lakin wouldn't let it out the door. Mine's a keeper! These are great basses, and especially good considering the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraff Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) That's a very very handsome beast! My 77 USA Jazz was refinished many years ago in a green which, if all had gone to plan, would have been this just colour (minus the sparkle) - turned out a bit lighter, but I've grown to love it! If I hadn't just bought a Sandberg PM4, didn't already have a really nice Jazz and had £580 spare, I'd bite your hand off. Readers may notice that only one of the above reasons is true. Good luck!

Linus27 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I saw this bass last night and had a quick play and it is a wonderful. The neck is so nice with great action. Its also very light. When Philly pulled it out the case, it was a case of "WOW". Someone's going to get a very nice bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think this might have been mine for a while - very nice bass. Replaced it with an NYC Sadowsky which cost over a grand more but wasn't proportionally better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I tried to buy this when it was last sold by Mike, I think? I saw it after the second post today and didn't bother because it looked like it was sold then. Better luck next time? Still, it was missing this one that led to me buying my '75 reissue jazz which I'm still loving so at least some good came of it. Good luck to the new owner. I hope you enjoy it. Frank.
