A RARE FIND HERE! THIS BASS MADE IN 1998 LOOKS LIKE IT JUST
CAME FROM THE FACTORY. IT'S IN IMMACULATE CONDITION AND
PLAYS LIKE A DREAM. IT'S A 35" SCALE SO THE B STRING HAS A
STRONG SOUND NOT LIKE CHEAP 5 STRING BASSES. THIS IS A
HAND CRAFTED BASS FROM LAKLAND IN CHICAGO, IL. IT CAME
WITH BARTOLINI PICKUPS AND ACTIVE PREAMP WITH SUSTAIN
THAT JUST KEEPS RINGING. THEY DIDN'T MAKE VERY MANY OF
THESE WITH THE HIGHLY GRAINED SWAMP ASH WITH AMBER
FINISH AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT. IT
ALSO HAS THE ORIGINAL LAKLAND FACTORY HARDSHELL CASE
INCLUDED WITH THE KEY. THESE SELL NEW FOR $3500 AND THE
NEWER ONES DON'T HAVE THE BARTOLINI'S AND IN MY OPINION
THIS ONE IS BETTER BUILT THAN THE NEW ONES SINCE THEY
DID MORE HAND CRAFTED WORK IN 1998 THAN MACHINES.
THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL QUALITY BASS AND I'M NOT USING
IT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY SUCH AN EXPENSIVE BASS BUT
PLEASE DON'T EXPECT TO LOW BALL ME. CHECK ON EBAY
AND YOU WILL SEE USED LAKLANDS IN NOT NEARLY AS
GOOD CONDITION SELLING FOR $2000 OR MORE. THERE MAY BE A SMALL SCRATCH OR NICK THAT I HAVE
MISSED SEEING BUT YOU WON'T FIND A NICER BASS
MADE IN 1998. IT'S REALLY IN SHOWROOM CONDITION.
THERE ARE SOME REFLECTIONS IN THE PICS SINCE
THE BASS HAS SUCH A SHINY FINISH. CHECK OUT
THE MULTIPLE PICS AND YOU CAN TELL MORE.
PAYPAL UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS ARE
MADE BEFORE PURCHASE.
P.S. I JUST PUT A NEW SET OF ERNIE BALL SLINKY
SUPER LONG STRINGS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO
GO THROUGH THE BODY FOR MORE SUSTAIN.
THE WEIGHT OF THIS BASS IS 9LBS, 8 OZ.
TRUSS ROD WORKS FINE AND FRETS ARE GOOD.
I DO HAVE THIS LISTED ON MY LOCAL CRAIGSLIST
AS WELL SO THE LISTING COULD BE ENDED EARLY.
****I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN AND UNABLE TO SHIP
AFTER 6/7/17 UNTIL 6/25/17 SO ANY PURCHASE
WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE BY 6/6/17 TO GET
SHIPPED BEFORE I LEAVE.
