Going to see about a trade today.
I have a Lakland 55-02 Ltd Ed that used to be owned by Steve Miller. It’s gotten zero play time since I got my Dingwall. Missing from the bass arsenal are a Jazz and a Fretless.
Hoping to get a Squier CV 40th anniversary JB and a Squier CV 60s JB Fretless and some coin for the Lakland.

I don’t care who owned a base, the important thing is how it plays. I’ve never picked up a Dingwall much less played one so have no reference on that. I have played a 55-94 Lakland for 24 years and absolutely love the instrument. I’ve owned a couple of fretless basses and still have the ‘63 and ‘65 J and P Fenders I purchased new but prefer the Lakland.Originally Posted by blackonblack
A fine collection of Fender basses......I've always been a sucker for Jazz Basses with the tuxedo neck.

The 55-02 was a great sounding and playing bass. Issue was it was over 12 lbs. very heavy.

And another trade today. Traded my Gretsch White Falcon for a Gretsch 6xxx Setzer Hot Rod and a Sterling Stingray. It’s not like I didn’t like the Falcon, but it’s pricy, and still 8 years later my wife still thinks it my exes fav guitar. Whenever I played it, there was a “discussion”. So it’s gone. The Setzer plays and sounds great (it’s lighter that the Falcon and plays better). The surprise was the Stingray. I knew it was no slouch, but getting it home and playing it for an hour, it is truly sweet. Much better than anticipated.

So 2 days of trades. 1 out each day , 2 in.
lots of straps, strap locks, etc inbound.

And 1 more maybe for a CV50s P Bass

My wife never complains, but my sister in law can't stand it when I show up with a "new" guitar. She asks me if I ever will be happy with one, I tell her I'm always happy with the one I'm playing!
(She has benefited from some of my trades, her favorite acoustic is a 90's Washburn Cumberland A/E with more than a shell full of Abalone on it, I got a good deal, and so did she!)
The quantity of needed/desired instruments is easily quantifiable:
N + 1

The wife is good with this as it’s no cash outlay and it isn’t encroaching in her office.

What's the sitrep of that CV50's P-Bass?
"When injustice becomes law then rebellion becomes duty."
Haven’t found one I can trade for yet. Found them to buy outright, so I may go that path.
Mark
Got a specific color in mind?
"When injustice becomes law then rebellion becomes duty."
Either color will work. Was originally leaning White, but now with the white and gold CV60s JBass, I may go boring with the 2 tone burst. I could sneak that in easier as it falls into my wife’s category that “it looks the same” LOL
