Hey blondmix3 I think I found the perfect match for Radioactive Oatmeal :hiding: :p

Well, they say to never turn down a gig.... :smug:
 
I recently got 5502D on a trade. It looks great and I do love the neck but I am not really digging the tone. It has LH3, not Bart electronics (not that I have tried Bart elcetronics). I am looking to trade with Bart electronics and have my ad on classified. My question is then this: Do you guys prefer LH3 over Bart? Why?

Thanks,

I had the same issue when I picked up a newer 55-02D not too long ago. I wasn't much of a fan either, at first. I figured my taste in tone couldn't be so drastically off from most everyone else, since I was only seeing raves about the LH3 stuff around here for the most part, so figured something else must've been up. Maybe I was just too used to the Barts in my other 55's? However, I changed the strings up a couple weeks ago from the Laklands that were on it to some DR's and I'm much happier.

I'd try that route (not necessarily DR's, though I do think they're great and are all I pretty much use these days... YMMV) before you decide to ditch the bass.

Nothin' wrong with the -01 basses. Some of us gig them more regularly than our -02's to be honest. :eek:

That's mainly because I only gig the -02 in certain situations... but I still REALLY dig the tone of the MK-1 Bartolinis. Go figure...

Loving mine - would like a 5502 or one of the Jazz Models - I have played Jazz Basses for years. Started playing Spectors last year and now I am loving my Lakland.
