Your question got a little buried so thought I’d bump and give a little more context. It’s solid enough, loud and present, it just lacks clarity (regardless of string gauge/type & setup) and mostly, sustain. It also buzzes if you even think about putting the action past medium/low. It’s...

A demo, with my apologies for the delay! Happy holidays everyone! Love Theory (my variation, at least) by Kirk Franklin, DI to logic, with gentle compression via a BECOS CompIQ Stella.

Buy the bass, throw away the wallet, then the wallet can never be empty..

Yeah I don’t think it is an order option.. mine came with one already fitted, but I bought it from a shop here in the UK so didn’t spec it myself.. I saw this on the FB page recently and all that GAS I’d gotten rid of with the 55-14 came flooding back 🫣

Yeah, although the nerve thing was only seated, however I do a lot of theatre so standing isn’t always an option.. I have the Lāklands a little lower than other basses when standing, but the others were probably too high anyway 🤦‍♂️ You should do it.. I fully support the blue! Tort pickguard...

Yeah I don’t get it on my 55-01, weird.. Your colour combo would be a top choice for me too, that or the Sherwood green..

Hope you get another chance at one! I was worried mine would get snapped up too.. my wife’s words were “how long after I left for work did you buy that..?” within the hour 😝

Yeah the red definitely sped up the decision to get it..

Was recently very lucky to get a Lākland 55-14, and as they don’t come up often, thought I’d share my experience/opinion. To anyone who doesn’t know, the 55-14 is 55-94 (Lākland’s flagship) without the custom options, meaning they can offer it cheaper, or “less expensive” maybe.. I already...

Will do, although it won’t be any time soon, just so you know! ❤️ Chonks says hello! Living the good life here in Edinburgh:

Came across this thread when encountering the same problem as OP on a new 55-14, which I love, however had a ridiculously sharp edge on the arm contour.. After comparing it to my 55-01 (which has a lovely soft rounded edge on the arm contour) I thought I’d resurrect the thread & share my...

Thanks! Yeah mine lives in parallel most of the time. My tech asked me if I wanted to go down the full passive route while he was doing the K-Mod but I thought it was better to have and not need the preamp (plus my OCD won’t let me have a battery slot that isn’t connected to anything..)

Yep, exactly, outer or inner coils on opposing pickups act as humbuckers 👍

Ah that’s ace! I love the orange, almost like a warning as to the sound you’re about to hear 😝
