hey guys,

i already have a thread about it, but i feel the need to post in here also

i have some troubles with my new lakland 5502 which i got today.
it has lakland's lh-3 preamp and the lakland pick-ups of course, the bass was made in 2009 so it is brand new!

the volume knob only works when turned up full, when it's not turned up full it doesn't work
furthermore, the bass is much louder in active mode (without any boost of the preamp) than in passive mode...

help me please!

Sounds like a warranty issue to me, bad pot on the volume. Call the dealer you bought it from and have him take care of it.

+1. And if for some reason the dealer doesn't handle things to your satisfaction, don't hesitate to contact Lakland. Great customer service.

i already wrote an email to kirk from lakland, he will probably write back in a few hours!
the point is, i'm from europe (austria)...so i won't ship my bass to chicago to get it fixed there...that is just to complex, costly and time-consuming.

i hope it is easy to fix, so a local tech can do it

Well, I got to spend a few hours with the new 55-02 tonight. I was playing it through my Tascam Bass Trainer (I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old sleeping) with a pair of Shure SCL5's. The first thing I noticed was the bass was not really playable. The action was UNGODLY high. I took some time and ran her through a quick set up..lowered the action, took some relief out of the neck, set the intonation....and BAM, played like a dream and was ready to go. First thing I noticed was the neck...great feel, but wow, did it feel HUGE. I have been playing 6's mostly the last few years till I unloaded all of my others and grabbed my first lakland. It was a JO5 and the neck felt like a twig compared to my 6's. Then I got my Glaub and couldn't put it down, so it has been all I have been playing lately. I forgot how different it was going from a 4 to a 5. Anyway...back to the bass....I set everything flat and it had a killer, even tone. Then I started messing with the EQ. There is a lot of flexibility in the EQ, a little turn goes a long way, and all of them are very useable, even in extreme settings. It does have a great musicman tone with the bridge soloed. It can cover a J or a P as well....although I have a Glaub and JO to handle those...lol. The B is thunderous as well. Best B in the biz. I will fire it up through my Navigator/WT1000 212xlt on Sunday and the same head with my 610xlt on Tuesday at band practice so I will have some more reports then, but for tonight, I am more than pleased with the new voice this adds to the JO5 and Glaub.
