    Lakland 55-02 v 55-94

    Hi all! I am wondering the main difference between the 5502 and 5594. I know the 02's are made in Korea and the 94's have bird's eye maple fret boards. Apart from that, is worth spending the extra cash for a 55-94? Is there a tonal difference? Tighter, punchier B string? Whats would be the...

    Can anyone help me?!!!

    When I play notes from the 8th fret and above on my low B string, I get horrible overtones, like there are 2 notes a semi-tone apart, being played at the same time. Obviously only playing one note and all other strings are muted to stop any harmonics. What is the reason for this? Its so...

    DR Low Beams to the rescue!

    I just put DR low beams on my Lakland 5501 and my god! Changed the feel and sound of my bass. I love it! I will always use hex-core strings on my basses now, and I think they'll always be DR's! Great tension, especially on the killer B!!! Anyone else felt this way bout strings before...

    Ampeg......pfft!

    I had a gig on a medium to larger stage. The backline was supplied and was playing through an Ampeg SVT-III (older version) with 2 x 410 Pro cabs. All night the rig was breaking up peaking out, and all the settings were set fine. The amp's peak LED only came on when I really dug in. In my...

    Want a tight B string!

    I have a 5501 with Warwick Black Label strings on it but find the tension on the B string isn't as tight as I would like it. Has it got to do with the gauge or brand, or something else. I think he Warwick stings are 45 - 135. Should change them to 130 on the B string.:hmm:

    Replacing frets with jumbos

    I have a Lakland 5501 and was wondering if you can replace these frets with jumbos or medium jumbos. I had a Music Man Sterling and got used to the frets on that which i think (correct me if I am wrong) are jumbos. I don't know much in this area so it might be a silly idea!!! Cheers!
