kets Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Evening, Up for sale here is my lovely Lakland Skyline 55-01 Deluxe. I bought this new a few months ago and really like it, however I'm not getting on with the feel of it. This is due to a combination of my short sausage fingers and the 35' scale and wide string spacing which I thought I would get used to, but haven't. Being a few months old it's in unmarked condition with no dings, bucklerash or anything else, in fact it hasn't even left the house. Sound wise it's great with a good variety of sounds and is very punchy. It has bass/mid/treble, volume and pan controls and a passive mode. The 35' scale helps with the b-string which sounds great. I'm looking for £565 including P & P and I'll include a new set of Rotosounds I bought for it. Tradewise, I'm interested in a Warwick of some description either 4 or 5 string or a Fender Jazz (CIJ or AM), with a small cash adjustment possible. In the absence of these I may entertain other basses, try me! (No fretless though...!) Any questions, please ask.

bassmanAzz Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Are you sure thats the 01 as the control knobs are different but the pick-ups are the same? Have you changed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kets Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 These are the knobs that were on it when I bought it new, I haven't upgraded them. Perhaps Lakland was having a stock clearout day...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it more confusing is that some of them come with metal knobs like all of the 44-01's...a mystery. And a seriously lovely bass as well - have got a 44-01 myself so it's definitely not lost on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for all the kind comments guys. It is lovely, it's just a pity I don't get on with the string spacing etc. I have another Lakland in a flash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably using up stock prior to the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
