Just got my new Lakland yesterday (on the left). Chisonic single coils are my fave Lakland pickup!

Nice.
The green Glaub in the middle was my old bass.
One I should have never sold.
But at the time I had two USA Glaub's . And keep my Trans White / Gold Anodized pickguard.

Gus, not sure about the J-retro as I've never tried one.

On the other hand, the P-retro, yes it skewes modern, and its a killer pre.


the pre's I have experience with are Audere (so-so, IMO) and Aguilar (OBP3, very nice when paired with Nordstrand fat stacks in my Lull), the LH-3 (compares well, IMO to the OBP3), and the Sadowsky outboard and onboard (also divine).

Good to see you here, I still love the green Glaub. That CS is in the perfect spot for tone.

That makes two I have now that previous owners miss! I missed a Seafoam JO5 badly for years until I got the gold 55 Custom.

Started this project,A decade knockoff in 32" scale with a warmoth neck.I wanted a simple single p.u. decade w/ a HB chi ! I have a single coil chi in the bullpen getting warmed up in case I want to make a switch.I also picked up a skyline 44-64 out of the classifieds today.I'll get usa model some day.

The "big" chi housing is pretty unique size. a little smaller than MM pickups, obviously, about twice as wide as single coil. I can measure my 44-07 later today (dual humbucker chis) for you to get a sense of the route sizes.

This is the size I used for the decade project above
BODY ROUT: 4-1/4" WIDE X 1-1/8"
PICKGUAURD HOLE SIZE: 4-1/16" WIDE X 1-15/16"
ACTUAL P.U SIZE: 4" WIDE X 1-7/8"
This is by no means the actual factory specs. just what I used.The rout has some "wiggle room"Maybe 1/4" not oversized by any means.It'll be covered by the puckguard so not a big deal.
