Lakland 01 Club

[McHack]

I had a 55-01 and sold it awhile back. I miss that bass. I changed out the stock pre for a NTMB and it didn't change the tone at all, just added better pots. Someday I will buy another.

Huh, made a world of difference to mine. Got rid of the brassy edge & warmed it up... the aggressive growl of the stock soaps remains, which isnt necessarily a bad thing.

OH yea, BTW... I probably fit here just fine... but honestly, I am looking at making some sort of 5-StRing change.

I'm sorry . What is that in inches ?

Approx. 3/4" per string = 3" total (as posted above)

I've got a Candy Apple Red fretless 55-01 with the NTMB preamp. It's a very versatile bass which can be very growly or butter smooth. It's really good on the B-string notes. It doesn't have as much "mwah" as some other basses, but it has just enough for my tastes. I like it because it can mimic pretty well a fretted that has treble rolled off.

Here's the pic.

My next bass will be a fretless 55-01. Mmmmmm...

Sweet and simple 55-01 in natural.

I had TI flats on it for a while but now I've got it back to DR long necks for more of a hi-fi sound.

It doesn't get that much play now that I'm neck high in my Warwick but I'm hoping I'll find a use for it sometime in the future.

Here's my 55-01. Nothing special to look at, not even the deluxe model but it has been modded with a NTMB preamp and i have a selector switch on the outside to select different mid freq's. I find i use it quite a bit for quick tone changes.

That black body is just.....sexy. I like that.

That's why I have one.

It's the quintessential bass...

+1

There's nothing like that piano black gloss...

Damn, I can't wait until Sunday.

Damn, I can't wait until Sunday.

You should probably take something for that GAS while you're waiting...

Yeah, huh? I've got the cash sitting right here on the desk just waiting to be exchanged.

And it's only Wednesday.

I received my MK5CBC pickups from Best Bass Gear (thanks for the quick ship) yesterday.

Boxed up my bass and shipped it today.

The Lakland crew may have it by Monday...

Hot damn! It's home! Beautiful bass, now I just have to get used to the wider neck and the fifth string.

Lovin' this thing! Pics later, back to playing!

We don't see no bass.

No picture!

No Bass!

Not a great picture, taken with the camera on my phone and the background doesn't do justice to the Lakland at all, but here she is next to My Schecter Stiletto.

Hey fellow -01'ers. I wanted to post a link to my MySpace page that I keep up to house/share my solo and demo work. Pretty much every song up there now was done with combinations of all my Lakland -01 basses, of which I have several. haha! Anyway, I thought my fellow -01 players might like to hear some of the tunes. All are stock MK-1 pickups and pre's. I've no desire to change them out at all... they cut well for my needs and have lots of presence!

Very, very nice!

I'm sure she plays as good as she looks.

Thanks!
