I've been really diggin' the Sea Monster but the single coil ChiSonic in my house were buzzing like crazy. The wiring in my house is 60 years old, and tortured by my Decade. Just too much to live with.

It now has a Lakland P pickup in it and a new guard form Jeannies! The tort is different then the standard. More brown, and has more contrast. Totally fits this bass perfectly! And I am so surprised with this pickup. Very thick while have killer highs, and note definition like no other P pickup I have heard! I think I'm a P bass convert!

Very nice, Gus! Is that a Big Split? What do you think of it compared to a straight J pickup at the bridge?

A non-Chi bass, Markus??? I almost fainted.:D

Very cool! Yeah, I dig that Lakland P pickup. It gets good and mean!

That is indeed a BigSplit. It is really a huge sound! It matches well with the NP5 and gives it a really clear tone when both are full. It is also really full on its own. What's great with this setup is that with either pickup solo'd, it is dead quiet. No hum at all. I've got some well worn Chromes on it at it is just a buttery delicious tone. When the LOG bass comes, the flats will go there and this will get some nickels.

Pat Wilkins did the work on this one and he was playing it through this huge cabinet (either an 8x10 or a 6x10) in his office. It was thunderous. A really, really fabulous combo IMHO and well worth the upgrade. I'll probably have a different pickguard made at some point since I don't have so much stuff to cover up now.

Buying that 55-01 and doing this to it is right there near the top of the best money I've ever spent on bass-related stuff.

Love it, Markus. With the jazz neck and matching headstock, it is almost identical to the Glaub I have. Amazing bass. But, we need to see it without the cover. Show off the full P. Nothing to be embarrassed about.:D Just kidding.
