Thanks Guys!
Don't know much of the history of the bass, but it is an older model and is used. It has the 5-string wide spacing (.750" or 19mm), Bartolini pickups and is a 35" scale. The body is swamp ash with quilted maple top, maple neck with birdseye fret board. The maple neck gives it that bright snappy sound, and I'm a big fan of the original Lakland design. Not sure of the weight, but I'd say around 8 lbs.

The bass was actually a gift from the former owner of Lakland. It was a big surprise when it showed up at the shop, a really, really nice surprise.

Graves, I'm sorry that I didn't leave you feedback. The Schecter is awesome and you sir are a true Gentleman! The Schecter has been sharing duties with my Spector.
Thanks!

Bill
