I recently picked up a Squier Jazz 5 for cheap on Craigslist and was considering selling my Lakland. So I gave it another run and fell in love all over again. The Squier is surprisingly good, but the Lakland is definitely a step up (what a surprise). Guess I'll keep both 
Anyhow, I made a hard rock test song featuring the Lakland Skyline 55-01.
You have to wait a few seconds for the little player to pop up - Try Again Song

I've had a 5501, 5502 and a DJ5 and the stock 5501 is my favorite. I wish I still had it.

| | | | i just used my 55-01 on a job this weekend and even with 3 year old dead strings, it freakin ruled..i liked it so much that I am getting a 44-01...left eq flat...plugged into a gk 800 thru a ampeg svt410hlf and didn't worry about a thing. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Funny how you can usually pick up a used 55-01 for almost half what a similar 55-02 will cost you. I've been tempted to grab one of these more than once.

| | Registered User | | | | Yeah, forgot to mention, great clip. Loved the playing, loved the tune, loved the tone you were getting. |

With my Skyline Scheff 5 and DPLE-II getting most of the playing time, I figured I didin't need it. Of COURSE I didn't need it, but I sure do still want it from time to time.

With the coil switching and electronics upgrade, I prefer it over the 55-94 I had a few years ago. Same tight B string and very versatile electronics. the stock were not bad and I used them for a while, but opened up a lot of tone thru electronics upgrade which I've read many folks have tried. |
