So I tried the 55 JJ Chi passive with the Sadowsky pre/DI through my Ampeg.
Shortly, it does add some to the bass. I think I would prefer this bass active. But, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for that pedal. I must be uber-spoiled by Lakland, he he.

Also, the sound is still not what I need, so... Wanna change your 5-string US ash body for my alder US 55 JJ CS, anyone?

Sorry to hear it's not exactly what you want Denis.:hmm:

Might I suggest an Audere classic 4 band in the 3 stacked knob version?

It did wonders for my Decade with Dark Stars, fits easily in the control cavity & didn't have to drill any new holes!

Gorgeous - Congrats man, Beautiful Basses!

I am so pumped! My new (used) USA Hollowbody Deluxe came in today. I love it! The neck is just amazing. The neck is even better than my JO4 neck, and that one is fantastic. I am usually not a big Bart fan, but the Bart's on this bass are great. It has JO Flats on it and I love flats - have them on most of my basses. I may try rounds to experiment, but right now, this guy has a WIDE palate of tones available. I can't put it down. Action is perfect, frets perfect, and zero dead spots (thank you graphite neck reinforcements)!
Plays like a dream, well balanced, and light (weighs 8.25 lbs!).
Top notch fit and finish. Nice flame maple top, and the finish looks like a '59 sunburst that you see on a lot of Sadowsky's.

The East Indian rosewood with birdeye maple dots is really beautiful. Tried to show that in the pics, but they really don't do justice here.

I LOVE IT!!

I've not played a Chi-loaded bass yet, but I haven't heard a clip of one that I like yet. IRS not bad sounding, but not my thing. I prefer the fuller range tone of the Lakland pickups.

Can anyone tell me how the bart soapbars found in current 55-01's compare tonally to my two reference points ... the barts in a 55-94 (2005) and the Lakland pickups in a recent 55-02 ?

I know I'll miss the split pickup over the other two ... just thinking of the base tone. Vintage ? Modern ? Fat ?

I've never played a 55-01, but one's come up and I'm thinking I might go for it. It's got an LH3 pre but I'm thinking the pickups will contribute more to the basic character.

test driving "yours" right now.....if you want it.....

you can check out the LOG or the LOG bass forum here on TB for my first impressions...

changing your Sadosky order huh? what are you gonna change?

A Markus Orange AJ was an option on the list for the 2011 or 2012 LOG bass...

You're always so helpful, Doug!

Though that new flamed maple J bass is what's really got me thinking. I think I may be changing my Sadowsky order so's I can justify another active J, which would definitely be one of those new Lakkies. I think I'd kind of want to in Marcus Orange.

wow! I did not know it had a pre in it....NOYCE!

BTW - we need to connect via PM on:

1) price to have Pat install blocks (I forgot what you said before)
2) having the LOG logo engraved on my LOG bass!!!!

Few more impressions about the LOG bass after playing for a few days.

Sound is awesome, just what I was looking for! The Neo Punch with flats seems to have enough aggressiveness but still nice and smooth for classic rock, motown, etc.

One thing I noticed though is that the B and E strings are one coil, and the A, D, and G strings are on the other. Is is worth flipping the pickup or even possible so that B E A are on one and D G on the other?

You should be able to flip them of you like. They don't know the difference...:D
