For sale is one 1996 Lakland 55-94 Deluxe, 5-string unlined fretless in a 34 inch scale, the serial number puts this at #10 for the 55-94 series.
This bass was gigged regularly, but it was meticulously taken care of. The back of the neck has lost its finished from years of use and feels nice and broken in from the heel to the headstock - see the photo of the back of the neck/headstock for detail. You'll be hard pressed to find any blemishes in the finish. The electronics are fully functional, but there may be a scratchy pot among the few.
This bass belonged to my late father who passed away last year, and as much as I hate selling it, I can't play it (I'm left-handed). It was his #1, he sold a Studebaker Avanti he was restoring to buy it. Mom would rather it go into the hands of a musician who will appreciate it as much as he did, and I believe he would want that too. It is 34" scale, as opposed to the more common 35" scale, which is what he was looking for in a high quality 5-string bass when he purchased this in 2001. It is currently strung with LaBella black nylon tapewounds, and has dunlop straplocks installed.
This bass will also come with what I suspect is its original Lakland bridge, it is the same as the one currently on there, with the exception of the name being stamped onto it.
Local pickup only in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area of Florida. Now offering shipping to the lower 48.
Thank you for considering a purchase.
