I did, and I'm pretty sure I posted it here. US Bart MK4 and NTMB pre.
I would love to try a Nordstrand pickup in my other 44-01, but their 4 string pickups aren't the same size. There would be a gap of about 1/8" at the top and bottom.
I recently tried the fat stacks & dual coils in my 44-01.
And while they both sounded great, I just couldn't get over the gap around the pickguard.
I'd love to have either in a bass that was routed for them.
So, MK1's went back in with the Bart NTMB pre & I'm happy with that for my fretless.
I'm back in, I hopelessly sold my 01 maple fretless (previously posted #501) & have been kicking myself ever since!
So I found a worthy replacement AND I got the maple fretless neck back as well.
Mods to come I'm sure...
what case is that?
and generally what hardshell cases do you guys use for your laklands?
Must've missed them...
Thnx!
I posted my 44-01 with US Barts and a LH-3 preamp. I'm very happy with it.
I really do have to apologize to you, for some reason I had remembered that to be a 55-01.
Thanks again.
BTW, your bass does sound purty sweet!
BTW, which model Barts are those?Hi guys 
After reading all this post i guess i have to get a 55-01
It seems to be one of the best 5-er there is.
Would love to have one in cherry sunburst, but i guess
they don´t make them in that colour atm.
Upgrade would be Nordstrand big singles and preamp
if needed. Will try the stock one for a while first.

Good Choice!
It should be fairly easy to find a used one in Cherry Burst.
My next 5501 will have Big Singles and a probably a Nordy preamp...
I MAY be switching affiliations soon and joining this group soon.
I have my eye on a burst/rosewood 55-01 in our classifieds. I have a party interested in buying my 17 YO Carvin LB-75 (has some of the SWEETEST koa you'll ever see!) and if everything falls into place-he buys the 55-01, I pick it up from the seller and ship my Carvin off to the buyer. Kinda hard to let go of the Carvin after all these years but I think its time for a change.

I don't know if I would let go of a 17 year old bass, but a 5501 would be an excellent choice...

Here's one that I'm sorry I let go. It was heavy, had a sort of "mottled" grain pattern, was a bit sizzly up high but I liked it. It had da mojo.
I "upgraded" and traded this for a 5502 Cherryburst quilt that was beautiful to look at, sounded great, but for some reason the neck was quite different from my 5501. It had a thinner headstock than all other Skylines that I compared it to, and the profile just felt "not quite right" to me. I couldn't get the action the same and I just missed my old 5501. I ended up trading it back to the dealer withing a month and naturally my 5501-in-trade was already snapped up. My new Sadowsky is helping me get through it though.
I'll get another 5501 some day.

Man, that's beautiful!
I don't think I ever seen a cherry burst that was not a deluxe...

I sold my 55-01 because of the weight. I don't know if they are all that way or not. I have a bad back and it was just a little too heavy. But that's ok, I have two 44-01s that are lightweight now. I don't really miss the B string, since I'm playing classic rock now and it was all played on 4 strings anyway. If I ever need a 5 string again I still have a lightweight Carvin and Yamaha.
