Lakland

[Rossie]

Hi,

Are Lakland Basses available locally?

 

[gsonique]

Last i checked with the local dealer stated on the Lakland site ...nope ..they stopped!!

 

[Rossie]

Should be Sinamex right?

Anybody knows the price range of a 5594?

 

[jackyboyboy]

Hi,

i had check before. Lakland bass are great bass. But price is also super X.
MIA version is $6500 to $7000
MIJ version is about $3500

excluding shipping cost and local taxes.

i don't think they have MIJ ones ..

they only have MIA and MIK ...

the Korean ones .. which is the Skyline series ... i'm eyeing the 55-02 also .. which is around 2K ++ to bring into Singapore ...

 

[Rossie]

Have been GASing for the 5594 recently. Any info on the pricing for that? The additional cost for upgrading to Bart PUs?
But as Jacky pointed out, I guess I have to wait for a little while.

Thanks for the info guys!

Exin:

NoNO.. its not skyline series. MIJ is call shoreline series. Perhaps you might want to have a look at this link. i am also gas for 55-94.

[jackyboyboy]

[Rossie]

Cheap it may seem...
But I wouldn't go to Thailand now...

Jacky:
Cool, do you have anymore info on the 55-94? I have only seen it been played by the bassist of Cherry Boom...

After the exchange rate, a 5594 standard would go around S$6k~S$7k.

if u really can afford think u buy deluxe model. Quilted maple. As for the prices, the above link is the best. If u wan to see artist users. Check on youtube. There are many Pro bassist using it. Especially in concerts.

USA 55-94 are great basses. I used to own one 55-94 Classic before, mint condition. Sold it for $2600. Probably you can look out for one of those used ones that might float around locally.. but definitely rather hard to come by.

 

[Rossie]

Jacky:
Although the quilted one is really nice, but I would like a white one

Funky:
You sold your 5594 for less than half of the price?

 

[2funkyfinger]

yup.. but i wasn the first owner so losses have been mitigated.

 

[jbarks]

was it the shoreline gold one?

 

[reyrey]

i'm starting to prefer lakland than musicman -_-" hopefully its temporary :evil:

 

[Rossie]

reyrey:
Why saying that? They have different tonalities. I love Musicman too, but considering the price of a new 5594, I maybe tempted to get a Bongo with HS configuring.

 

[jackyboyboy]

If u want to buy Bongo and dun mind 2nd hand. Luthur got a few pieces people are letting go. You might want to check around.

[Rossie]

Yeah, I saw those... I don't mind second hand, but I want a 5-string...

 

[jackyboyboy]

i like Lakland alot too. 55-94. A killer Bass man. Hope its help u. buying a Bass must think n consider carefully especially when in comes to thousands of dollars. Perhaps next time i got more spare cash i get a 55-94 too. Haha.
