As Gordon said, 3 months! We ended up with a diverse group of regular posters, though.:)

Vince, have you found what the issue was?

That was answered later in the thread, Dennis. Someone suggested he lower the pickups and--boom!--problem solved.

Markus has been underworking his part and Greg now probably has a better job with more free time. Sharing the office with Jody


edit: hey, we could have sub-clubs like 'the one-posters', the two-posters' etc, since many have laconically chimed in just a few times.

Rumble.. don't tempt me! Fretless is on my list. But I can't duplicate a model. Perhaps a different Lakland fretless. LOL

Well, not exactly a duplication...

You have 44-01 Natural Fretted
This one's a 44-02 Natural Fretless

Different pickups, neck, and added coil selection switch. However, the body and head design are the practically the same...

I hear ya, its a great looking bass too, buy for me the body shape is enough duplication. With only two basses on the stable and the eventual fretless, I would prefer a but of variety.

Help me with my tone dilemma......
my main axe for many years has been my ash/maple 5594 with LH3. Recently I acquired a Lull MV5 ash maple, with Fralin hum cancelling pickups and Bart pre. I have fallen in love with the tone of this bass, but still favor the ergonomics and feel of my 5594. Should I mod my 5594 with Chi sonics or single coil jazz style pickups to get closer to my tone desires? I have also considered picking up a 5501 and modding with big singles as a test before modding my beloved 5594. What would you do?

I would be hesitant to cut into a beloved bass--as I assume you'd have to do to put the bridge J pickup in (and would definitely have to do with Chis). How about buying a "dual J", a US Lakland with the body and neck of the 55-94 but with jazz pickups already installed? They're rare, mind you. But my good friend has one for sale and it's a beauty. (I've played it.) It also has a pre-routed cavity so you can pop in a pre. Scroll through the thread to see the dropped price.

anyone know the ballpark cost for a ebony fretless neck with a matching headstock (for my inca silver skyline)?

RumbleBeeAL said:
Yes!

Now here's a guy with the option of going RW Fretted or Ebony Lined Fretless merely by turning a few bolts on his very clean IncaSilver Jerry Scheff 4!!!

And Yes! I miss that bass!

Yea it's served me pretty well thus far (though it's been primarily fretless for the last month or so, have it strung up with fender 7120s black tapes (the ones they don't make anymore)...made an already interesting sound even more interesting, and is effortless to play!
