Hanson/Lakland
I have a LOG 55-64 bass which is really a limited run of 55-64 basses for folks in the Lakland Owners Group (hence - L.O.G.)
They only made 30 of theses basses in butterscotch blond (15 rosewood and 15 maple .... I have a maple) and they come with a certificate
They initially (from what I understand and could be wrong here) offered the bass with the Nordstrand P5 pickup since they hadn't had their own P5 ready and during that time eventually decided to offer their own P5 in vintage (more like the Nordstrand) or neo-punch after they were satisfied with it. From what I understand the neo-punch is more aggressive and modern sounding but I'm really not that familiar with either the vintage or neo-punch to be completley accurate. I am thinking this one is the neo since it's bright. I wanted a more old school sound to match my USA Lakland Bob Glaub 4 string with Lindy Fralin pickups so I had a Nordstrand ordered and installed after market.
The bass I have (I actually trade into it and am not the original owner) came with this pickup and the "birthdate" on the serial number says 1011 meaning October 2011 so it's a relatively new pickup from what I gather.
Again ... I am not the original owner so I can't really be quite sure.
That's the story ..............
