Love the Nickel Lo-Riders! I tried a set of steels on my JO5 and liked them once they settled down, but they're pretty much deceased now. (8 months will do that)

My Nicks came in the other day and I'll be stringing it up this wknd.

Nice, good to know. Supposedly the hex-core creates more tension and Ed Friedland said in a review that it required him to change his setup a tad. Did you experience anything like that?

I had that issue when I had tried them on my 55-02 a while ago. Had to adjust the truss a tad to compensate. I liked the sound of the Lo's a lot, but ended up growing tired of the stiffness. Felt like I was fighting the strings too much. I need a bit more slinkyness to hit maximum groove mojo.

BTW, not to dis anything Lakland, but I switched up the strings on my newer 55-02D (that I had complained about not being able to dial in a good tone with the LH-3) from Lakland strings to my tried and true DR Hi Beams... much, MUCH, better.

I was almost scared I might have to get rid of the bass for a bit there, thinking the LH-3 wasn't for me. No such issue now. :cool:

Can some kind BG (or BG5) owner please give me the measurement from the apex of the Lakland bridge to the back of the of the split pickup on the D/G pickup?

If anyone owns 'that other brand' of P bass, can I get a similar saddle to pickup measurement?

The phantom is watching...:ninja:
