After 18 long yearsss, my 1st one as a Lakland Artist, I finally have a new bass! Sharing my Lakland USA Classic 55-14 in Aged Sherwood Green This is just my second bass after getting my Lakland Basses 55-01 18 years ago. This is my first time owning a USA made bass and I truly saw, felt and...

Hello everyone! Replying to myself 10 years since my last activity here at TB haha. Well a lot has changed and I have been an Artist for Bartolini, DR Strings and of course, Lakland since 2025 🧡💙💛 My last post 10 years ago was about me upgrading my preamp and pickups . Well 10 years after my...

Thanks Man, Hoping that the Nordstrand Preamp Install would take this to the next level haha. Not enough dough for the big splits so this is not the last stage haha

And if you know someone that is thinking of selling a big splits please do let me know. I am just able to buy the preamp since adding the bigsplits would amount to a total of 500 usd so if you know someone please let me know as i am going to be in the US up to end of April only :(

Hello Guys! I just wanted to share our the video that we did for an artist. I'm using the stock 5501 on this and from what i hear, it look s like the raw signal from the bass was used. I'm sharing this so you can compare the sound when i have the Nordstrand 3b Installed =) Be sure to watch in...

You beat me to it haha. But yeah i would definitely try it out on passive mode. Thank you all for your replies it helped a lot!!!

Thanks Black Bart! And yeah i really can't go passive especially because i play with different bass amps. some are great and some belong to a trash can. So active electronics can at least help me have my sound everytime, or as close as i can. I wish i was like jaco that sounded like jaco no...

well the problem with mine is that my DRUMMER makes my bass sound fuller hahaha. It's good that im still a better bass player than him or they might kick me out hahah

Thanks holdsg! this is the answer that i've been waiting for haha. I will definitely buy the Big Singles when i get extra money but maybe for now i'll settle for the pre amp upgrade :) Thank you so much! Any more insights are welcome :)

Thanks basspraiser! I do that all the time. i have my own clippers inside my bass tool kit it sucks haha! but it is what it is. I get jealous of my drummer because my bass sounds fatter when he plays with it haha.

Hello Pickles, Appreciate your reply :) As good as that sounds, unfortunately i can't go the passive road because I need a very versatile bass for all the things that I do (playing at church, gigs with mulitple genres, recording). So I would definitely need the active electronics :)

Hello Everyone! I wanted to ask your opinion on my dilemma. I'm from the philippines and i'm here in the US for just 1 and a half months. I've been dreaming about upgrading my 5501 with the Nordstrand Big Singles and the Nordstrand3B-5a Preamp (PREWIRED – 3 band bass preamp with volume (pull...

yeah just researched and the MK1s at 4.25x1.33 inches. too bad i really wanted some nordstrands as an upgrade

Hello :) Would you know if this would fit The lakland 5501? At first i thought this has the original casing but i noticed that this was from a sadowsky. I know that my bass has a 19mm spacing but i'm not sure if this would fit

Oww. Ok, well i'll try that maybe tomorrow, hopefully i can find a 64ths ruler. i only have 32nds =( Thank you very much! I'll report back if this solves my issue
