Lakland 01 Club Part 2

Guys... I'm doing the unthinkable... I have posted my brand new 4401 with Sadowsky pre/Nord pups for sale here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8242025#post8242025

So here is an 08 Indo-plek New Old Stock 55-01 in Inca silver when I got it:

Here it is after removing the barts, re-routing for a nordstrand NP5, wiring in a stacked knob and having a pickguard made to cover the mess:

Although I gotta say, it sounded great even before the mods....
 
That's thinking outside the box.

I never thought about turning an 01 into a P bass, I just went and bought a Lull PJ5 (which is awesome by the way).

The stacked knob and the pickguard just kills.

The 5501P.

I may have to cop one...

I almost (and I mean by a matter of minutes) traded a DJ5 for one of those Lulls! It was the day they announced they were no longer gonna make them, so I kept it.

In my frustration at the lack of a Skyline P5, I bought the Lull.

It has been nothing short of spectacular!

That bass literally sings it so resonant.

And it sounds great.

I was thinking I would throw a Nordy P5 pickup in it before I got.

It's perfect just the way it is.

But I still want a P5 with a Nordy pickup in it...
 
I love the neck of my 44-01, but the pickup size is hurting my right wrist/forearm. I mostly rest my thumb on the pickup, and the distance from the edge to the E string is uncomfortable. It looks to me like the 55-01 has a shorter distance between the pickup edge and the B string. Is this true?
Does my question make sense?
Thanks!
