hi i have a natural ash lakland 5501 with black hardware. the bass is in excellent condition. NO ISSUES. Ive used it for studio and live play, its great for both. GROWL, GROWL, GROWL!!! the B string is one of the best on the market very tight and clear. This bass is very versatile.It can sound like a jazz bass or even a musicman. Definitely a workhorse bass for any gig. I upgraded the pickups to US bartolini Mk5 dual coil pickups. In addition, I upgraded the preamp with a TTL Performance BP300 preamp(hollywood,ca.)
The TTL preamp has very clear, warm bottom and also each control has very wide gain adjustable. The basic concept of this preamp was made for recording in the first place. But we recognized it also works good for the live play. When you use the Mid. range control, it never spoil the sound of other frequencies ( bass side or treble side ) The TTL preamp will give you more variable tone and create more sweet spot into your bass.
Bass 60Hz +-24db / Middle 450Hz +- 16db / Treble 6kHz +-24db
This preamp has Live/Recording mode switch. It is making hi-quality active sound for Live mode and on the other hand more smooth tone for Recording mode. The idea of Recording mode is to help you to create the better sound that you want at the recording.( Have you ever experienced to feel the difference of the sound when you played at live and recording ? ) When you use the Recording mode, the pickup out put signal comes with equal level for the all Frequencies. ( You can get the sound exactly what you want !! ) A full electric power that pickups make provides you the more powerful and smooth sounds from top to the bottom. If you play single coil P.U. bass, The TTL preamp will give you the taste of the passive P.U. sound or hum-backing P.U. sound into your bass.
