Not to my eye
The US Lakie RW w/ BEM dots is VERY impressive! Especially when compared to plain maple. BUT, NOTHING compares to the INSANE BEM of the older ones!
I love those, but I just love the Rosewood look more. Sorry dawg!!
The rosewood on my decade is beautiful!

For those who own US 55-94's specially older ones can you help me out and tell me what the serial number format is, like how many digits, are there letters in it, etc?
I emailed Lakland on mine (it has a 4 digit sn) and they said it wasn't a Lakland number and for me to double check, it's lightly stamped where Lakland sn's are usually found and it is exactly what I emailed to them. No response yet when I emailed back to confirm the sn.

Hmmm... my 55-94 has the serial stamped into the top of the headstock and it's a 4-digit # (no letters) as well... 6254. Can't remember what year I was told it was by the previous owner, but I think it was either 2001 or 2003.

6254 is from 2001.

Thanks for the confirmation! I was about to go click around the Lakland site in search of serial info.
Yohann, you said it was "lightly" stamped. Any chance that a 3 is actually an 8 or something like that?

Just got home....and on the front porch was my box! These Scouts are beautiful. Massive bottom end for a 12 as well. I will have some family pics up tonight. Thanks Terry!
Sweet! I'm thinking I know what the next step is for that bass!
ooooo.....I did not even THINK of That...but you would!!!
sweet!!!
and the lines make it "easier".....I stink but can get by....especially since I mostly use it for the "slower" stuff....
now and again, when they pop a faster song in the set, I give it a go....and usually can pull it (reasonably) off....
BTW - go CHIs......you WANT it!!! you do.....
now THAT would make someone a good quote.....Love it....maybe I'll steal it....or not....we'll see...
Well, I took in a stray last night...a White Pearl DJ4. It's been a while since I've played one, but I have to say it's just a great instrument. I'm looking for a DJ5 now to round out the collection now that they've been discontinued.
Soooooo.....did it just "show up" on your doorstep looking for a new set of strings?????
Story! Story! Story!
