I did both on my first 01, sold that one (never should've
) but on the second 01 I only replaced the preamp with an NTMB.Bought a pair of Nordies to put in it, but couldn't get over the space left around the pickups, too OCD er something...
They sound great as is, but upgrading a more of a bonus & fun project for the kids on a rainy day.
Now go buy one already!

The general consensus is the preamp is the weakest link.
Even Dan said the preamp should be the first to go...
OOOOOOOOOOkay
When I finally do get around to getting a Lakland (
) I think I'm going to go with a 44-01 (due to me posting in this thread)
woo!

I think they'll all be gone by then...
So, if I ever get a 44-01, I'm thinking Big Singles and a passive setup (Vol/Vol/Tone/Tone) with a Stellartone.
That sounds like a winning combination!
My next 5501 will have Big Singles and an OBP-3 in it...
I'm pricing everything up in my head right now
Does anyone know of a place to get some pots because if I get it, i want to make it completely passive.

Nevermind.
Nevermind.
Sent over here from the Lakland Club thread. Here's my new 55-01. Stock right now. I haven't played out with it much yet but after reading the first 20 some odd pages, its got me gas'in for a pup and pre upgrade already.
What are you guys using for 3rd party HSCs? Looks like the Lakland branded one is from Roadrunner. Anyone know if the SKBs fit?

I have a yummy cream colored lakland one but that just for storage. my fav thing for moving it around is igig bags
I'm a mono fan.

If you get a mono be sure to get the wingman.
The M80 is too small for the 35" scale...
You did say HCS. The mono is a gig bag.
I have a Lakland branded HSC which I believe is a SKB...

Oh and by the way that bass is hot!
My second 5501 was identical to that one.
You'll soon find out with a few upgrades the 01's become world beaters!
First thing I'm going to do is upgrade to DR strings. Then play it out bit to assess the my upgrade path. Not too many of my basses ever stay stock. I'm thinking US Barts and NTMB pre. Man, Bartolini qualifies for having the worst web site ever. I think I'm sorting it out via the Bass Place though.
Yea, it's pretty bad!
I don't know why they don't throw a couple of bucks into it.
I get my parts from best bass gear.
I put the MK5CBC's in mine with a LH3 preamp, talk about nasty and versatile.
I never leave home without it...
My GAS for this setup (minus the Stellartone, maybe) is burning hotter every day.
Another thought is Nordy Dual Coils with some switching options.
I gots to get me a 44-01 soon!!!!
