Here's a bit more traditional looking version I threw together real quick... I think it definitely works.

Oh yeah! That looks great!

 

[blondmix3]

I like it...the only thing I'd change, is make the upper curve in the back a little more gentle..like this:

Subtle but cool! I REALLY dig this with the guard!

Shouldn't be too difficult I would think. The knobs on that bass (unlike typical -94's/-02's) are already in a p-like position. That would be the only major issue that I can see.

no one has done it so far. I tried as well. the lower horn is too short and the bridge side is not as flat as that of a P

 

[denchiq]

This was a quick one, bit it is easier when the bass is passive. The body on this one is a little distorted, but You get the idea.

Here's a bit more traditional looking version I threw together real quick... I think it definitely works.

on a typical P, the lower horn balances the control plate. Here, the control plate looks too big
Good for a start, though

P.S. It feels as with this configuration the main curve is between top right and bottom left (which is different from a P but that's not the point). To make it just right you have to work on this curve, IMO, leaving the lower horn part as some rudimentary

my 2 [euro]cents

I like it...the only thing I'd change, is make the upper curve in the back a little more gentle..like this. And make the part that comes down as the control plate a little thicker at first.

It's amazing how good this looks.
The modern but slightly stumpy style reminds me of a Celinder.

I think you guys may have stumbled onto something BIG here.

yep, that's better. I am almost ready to admit it
Now do something to the lower horn part. Lessen a bit ? fatten the beginning?

P.S. yeah, the last part is to erase the blocks and draw simple dots, he he he

Yeah, that looks better... I was sticking with the typical P-style thing, but the subtle wider curves work much better in this instance.

The lower horn thing doesn't bother me at all.

It is kind of Celinder like in some way.

Yeah...I really like it...I'd rock that on my bass if I had one that would fit. Kinda Urge bassish..

Lookin' hot dude! Lookin hot!

Just got off the Lakland site and it doesn't look like the 55-01 is offered in Cherry Burst anymore. What's up with that? Also, a question that just came up about my bass which is a 55-01. I l aways thought that the Deluxe versions equaled a Maple Fretboard, but according to another source they're referring to my bass as a deluxe because the top looks to be quilted maple even though the FB is Rosewood. Please enlighten me.

 

[MarkusBass]

Deluxe=quilted top with rw or maple board.

 

[bamabass]

55-01D is cherry burst with rosewood and upgraded bartolini pre.

Cool man! What's the 411?

 

[MarkusBass]

Nice!!! You're getting the one above or a different one?

 

[Bassman7PM]

Nice!!! You're getting the one above or a different one?

Thats the one I own but I'm aching for a 55-02D either same color but with a Maple neck or move over to a six string i.e Yamaha TRB6.

 

[MarkusBass]

55-02D's are very nice. My son has a 44-02 in cherry-burst with maple. Sweet bass!

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

Sweet! LPB?

oh yeah!!!

 

[MarkusBass]

NOYCE!!!

Oh, the suspense and anticipation of the next Doude wave to see his reaction.
