I just picked this up before the SoCal confluence and I like it a lot, but I need to move it quick.

Great action, factory flatwounds, tiny scratch on upper horn but otherwise in great shape. Three tone sunburst finish. Looks like these pics (If someone is interested i'll take some pics of the actual bass):

$900 OBO, shipping will probably be around $30, Paypal accepted (and preferred!). [email protected]

Oh, it's not flamed maple like the bottom pic, plain top like the top pic. But otherwise identical to the bottom one as well.

The mini-switch is for switiching the Bartolini's between humbucking and single coil.

This bass really thumps!

Was it all you were hoping for John? I remember awhile ago that you had ordered it and seemed to be looking forward to it as a player.

Yep, liked it quite a bit. A Rick mandolin came calling though!

FWIW, these Tobias designed Laklands are fantastic basses. One of my best friends and longtime bandmate has one and it's his favorite gigging bass; this after years of playing vintage Starfires. The only difference is that Tommy's has a set of Darkstar pups installed. A killer bass at a great price!
