I'm selling a few quality axes my friends. As I turned 50, my midlife crisis propelled me towards an affair with a lovely maiden named F Bass, so something had to give :)

Up first, is the bass I never thought I'd sell, my main sidekick for almost 2 decades. A 1999 Lakland U.S.A. 55-94. This is a killer bass no doubt and it has served me well in pretty much every scenario imaginable. It has some dings on it but who escapes a 20 year relationship without some scars?! Nothing major though and the guts are golden.

2,200.00 plus shipping. (Hardshell Case)

Next we have an Xotic XJ-1T, circa 2010. I did send it to Xotic to add some of the most recent upgrades a few years ago - in house pickups and the Trilogic 2 preamp. No HRI though. A lovely bass as well. Warm, full sound but you can dial in some bite too. I actually recorded a punk rock record with this joint!

1,500.00 plus shipping (gig bag)


Finally, there is the Bass Mods 535, circa 2013 when the company was new. This bass is a beast is a few ways. It has a very focused sound on the bright side of things. Perhaps this is due to the weight. I don't know for sure but i'm going to guess its around 12 pounds. I also upgraded from the in house pre to a Bartolini NTMB as well. Sentimental value with this one for sure as I recorded an EP with Angelo Moore from Fishbone with this one. I still have to pinch myself about that!

650.00 plus shipping (gig bag)

Questions? more pictures? Whatever you need to know, holler at me.

Happy Holidays to you all, my fellow lefty weirdos!

Black Cherry Finish
Alder Body
Maple Neck
10” Fretboard Radius
21 Frets
XOTiC JB Pickups
1-Volume, 1-Balancer, 1-Tone, 3-Band EQ
HipShot 4-String A Brass Chrome Bridge
HipShot Ultra Light Tuners

Not sure of the exact weight but it’s light. My guess is around 9, maybe a little more.
