Lakland 01 Club Part 2

[Chef]

bama; that's pretty!

 

[bamabass]

Thanks Chef! This is my first 55-01 and I have to say I am more than impressed. I have had literally dozens of laklands and this one has the best feeling neck out of them all. It is an '02. It will also go well with its quilted siblings

Could I please have a number for the Lakland 01 Club?

 

[Supertanker]

All of my previously owned 55-01 models and 55-02 models have been natural.

This time I went with black and I am really diggin' it!

It's black with a rosewood fretboard; it's gorgeous!

Post a picture and we'll hook you up with a number...

My new Lakland Skyline 55-01 black/rosewood purchased from Bass Central on 5/13/10.

Here's my 55-01. It has been modded with Nordstrand Fat Stacks and a Nordstrand 3 band pre with passive tone control...I like it so far, but we'll have to see if my hands can cope with the 5 string neck!

 

[Chef]

that's a *great* spec, and if you're gonna deal with *any* 5 string neck, this will be as suitable as anything.

remember, keep your elbow tucked in to your body, and your thumb below center on the neck.

Excellent!

You can have any number you want.

All the numbers are self-serve...

Josh, sweet bass. I am thinking it is silver and not white... is that correct? If by chance you dont fall in love with it, there are plenty out here ready to adopt it and give a good home!!
BTW, come join us on the Lakland Owners Group site as well.

Thanks Chef! I'm working hard to get it where I like it. I may make Vic work on it a bit while I'm home, since he has a knack for being able to set action a bit lower than I can with no buzz!

Correct, that is inca silver I believe. I'm REALLY hoping that I fall in love. I really enjoy Laklands, and this might have been a bad move on my end, since I have little spare cash to buy basses!

I'll check out the site, thanks for the link!

Hey Guys =)

Just wanna share our song with me playing with my 5501 (stock). Hope you guys like it... I really hope we hit it big here in the philippines so i could get a hand on those nordstrand pickups and pre =)

I really don't have a ton of time to post clips at this point, but I have a couple videos you can check out of me playing the bass...

http://vimeo.com/12716956

Settings I was using for this clip are volume full up, blend set to about 25% to the bridge with the bass boosted a bit. It almost sounds like I'm slapping in this clip, but I swear, it's all fingerstyle. I'm a crap slapper.

There's another clip as well...

http://vimeo.com/12716248

Same settings.

Both times you're hearing more of the house mix which is the Lakland through a putnam modded VT bass pedal.

Hope that helps.

 

[mumar_kalabaw]

Thanks Josh =) Sounds great . I think the sound is kinda crunchy like it wants to be slapped bad haha =)

For verifications sake.. I played this last nite through my Aguilar... What a monster tone.

I used to play the exact same rig (before I sold my 5502).

I've sold lots of basses I now regret selling.

My 5502 is one of them...

Curious about those fat stacks. What do they sound like? Been thinking of switching to something like that based on the write ups but never met anyone who is using them.

Here's my 55-01! I've been generally happy with it except for it's really "honky" midrange is hard to tame (especially with my AI Contra). I think putting DR fat beams helped with the lower end. but I'm about to take the plunge and go for some big singles (I'm a fan of the active jazz-type tone) and maybe an audere pre later down the road after reading some of your guy's success stories with the nordy pickups!
