Me and my 5502D
Nice bass and picture! Check out Link Removed when you have a chance, and PM basspraiser if you'd like a number.

Nice!!! I've been loving my NV425 for about 6 years now. Sure would love a 215 sitting next t it:bassist:

Ray, you're gonna hurt somebody with that rig! I'm a big fan of those Mesa hybrid heads (I have a Walkabout) and I'm extremely impressed with the NV cabs. One day, I hope to have the 412.
 
I will be a Lakland owner (again) soon! I just ordered a new single coil passive decade. It'll be my main bass for non-experimental/non-hard rock stuff, though i'm sure it'll creep in wherever it fits in. Depending on the gig, it'll be going through a BEAUTY of a Reeves 225+115 or a Mesa M9+VPH410. I'm so excited I can barely stand it lol.
That should be a great combo! The Reeves 225 sounds so good in the clips I've heard. Congrats.
 
I have been bass-less since November.. I have my eye on a 55-01 but never owned a skyline in the past. Are they as durable as the USAs? It sure sounded and played great!

yes! they are as durable....all Lakland 5 string instruments (even the Skylines) have graphite reinforced necks etc....

I would put any Skyline against US basses made by the "big guys" anytime when it comes to sound, quality, etc.

I have owned several Skylines in the past (and still own a JO5 Skyline that is a real keeper!)

buy it and let us know what you think....also, join us at: Link Removed for more lakie fun....good luck!

sweet! welcome aboard (again!!!)

which pickup covers did you order ?
 
Nice due! Glad you still love her! Definitly the most unusual Lakland I've seen!

She's so nasty!! Her dual Chisonics and LH-3 are perfect for Third Obsession stuff! She'll be used for the 3 song EP that we're currently recording. :bassist:

Her purpleheart pickguard and cavity cover are probably close to a 1/4 inch thick LOL, and she's lost a lot of finish from bucklerash, sweat, and friction from all the gigs...

check out her crazy-@ssed birdseye!!!

Yikes! November:-(

Hi guys,

was out for a while.

I can't enter laklandowners.com and couldn't do that several days ago. Tried to prolong my membership and couldn't. As I see in this thread noone but me has this issue, hmm...

Also, I got my pal (who'd also brought me my first US Lakie) into Lakland AND he's already gotten his first Lakland, a '99 4-94 with what I understand is a rare feature - not quilted, but flamed maple top. He's liking it and I'm sure he'll love it! (he MIGHT go for the LH-3 instead of the "older" type Barts he's having).
I got him one of the very last LOG t-shirts as a present (meaning this will encourage him... and implying ever more people will see the "L" word, he he he, crafty me! :D ).

Doude, thanks for the parcel! I'm loving it! ;-)
I guess shipment was pricey this time because you used a box instead of an envelope as before. But it's ok, thanks a lot!!!

Hey Denis! Love me some flame maple!

Absolutely, you are welcome Brandon!!!

Nice photo by the way.

Cool man! Love my single coil decade! You're going to dig it!

My only and first Lakland is a 5501, I love this Bass, so much I have my second Lakland on order and it is the first new bass I have ever purchased!

I gotta tell ya, when they come out with the Chi drep-ins for the 55-01 this fall....I may pick one up just to get those sweet pickups. :hmm:

LOG P5 :hyper: Did not realize they had drop in chi's for the 5501, now something else to consider. Do they drop in with the existing preamp or is there a recommended preamp with the Chi's?
