FT: One of a kind Lakland Skyline Hollow Body
« on: September 06, 2013, 10:50:14 AM »
So I've had this bass for a few months and absolutely love it. Not sure of the year as I got it off Talkbass but it is in almost perfect condition(I say almost bc I don't want to be responsible if anyone finds a ding or something)
 
It's 3 tone sunburst finish, mahogany body with maple top, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Chi-Sonic pickups, 2 volumes, 2 tones, pickup selector, 34 scale. Here's what makes it really one of a kind, the original owner ordered it FROM THE FACTORY with a white pickguard and pearloid truss rod cover, this is the ONLY Lakland hollow body with a pickguard! They also installed a Hipshot D-tuner but included the original tuner as well, also has a hardshell case in great condition.
 
Action is crazy low and currently strung with flatwounds.
 

 
A few things I'm looking for in trades:
 
-High end/vintage 8 string(double octave)bass like an old Hagstrom in great condition, Kramer or an Ibanez Musician 8 string
-5 string Fender P bass with rosewood board in olympic White, 2011 or newer
-nice fretless bass, preferably a vintage P bass with maple board!
-Pre-EB Musicman Sabre fretless bass
-Gibson EB-2
-Fender Coronado II bass
-BC Rich Mockingbird or Eagle from late 70's/early 80's(made in USA)
 
I put the trade value at around $1200 bc of the uniqueness and exceptional condition. I'm also open to other offers, the worst I can say is no thanks!

Looks like a nice bass! What do you think of the Chisonics?

They sound great! To be single coils I hear no hum(I use an Ampeg V4b tube head) when using them separately.

Hey Taylor, I have a 5 string musicman stingray that I was thinking about getting rid of. It's from around 2010. Any interest?

Also just realized these are humbucking chi sonics! It has a coil tap on the bridge tone knob! I can add a couple effects pedals to sweeten the deal for the right bass! Would really love a 70's natural Tele bass!!!
