Thanks, Gary!!!
I agree with the statement above with regards to plenty of nice basses shown thus far. I'm waiting to see more post up.
There's no doubt one would go broke just attempting to equal the Markus Stash of Laklands! Ha! Ha! The boy has many nice and unique basses.
I am considering modding one of my 55-94s to get a more Single coil kind of sound. I am going for the Nordstrand Big Spit kind of vibe that lots of folks are doing to their 5501s. Have any of you replaced pickups or modded your 55-94 in this way? Is there a chi sonic option that will give me this kind of sound?
Very nice Gordon!
My one and only.
But due...that bass is sooooo kick @*#!!
Danke Dude!
Personally I wouldn't cut up a 55-94...I'd trade it for another Lakland that has singles. BUT you could put to large shell ChiSonics in there. the new route wouldn't completely cover the old route though...the pickup ear areas will still be there from the old route.
I wouldn't cut into it, either. You could always trade that 55-94 for a gorgeous US Lakie with the same body shape and single-coil pickups. (I've played this bass and it's awesome.): http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/lakland-dual-j-relisted-new-pics-801683/
working on it....4 months??? really!?
With a vanilla ice cream side car?
yummm...I am hungry now!!!
go J!!!! pretty soon!
Greg - you are number 4!
Yes. And said happiness needs to be shown on weird, stripey carpets. (Who knew Gord and I had that in common, too!)
Ha! Looks like I'm going to have to add a black fretless 55-02 to keep up with you. I think there's one in the classifieds.
The 55-02 fretted and fretless are stock (except for doude-inspired knobs on the cherry)
The 55-01 has Nordy dual-coils. This week, I put Mike Pope's FlexCore pre in (vol/bal/passive tone/stack bass-treble/stack lomid-himid), and added 3-way coil selection switches. Tonal bliss.
Good grouping!
So, with the upgrades, are you finding the 55-01 getting all of your time.
I had a hard time settling (plus I love the look of Nordstrands), but I went with MK5s and LH-3. I find myself preferring the 55-01 now.
The 55-01 coil split/flexcore is funky, jazzy, dirty...I needed a little of that in my life.drpepper said:
It's my current go-to for the SteeVan Mars Band, though the fretless is also going to make an appearance on some new material we are working on. And the stock cherry, with LaBella flats, is yet another option. I am pretty much splitting my practicing and writing accross all three.

John Pirruccello posted on the LOG forums that he can offer the 55-69 body on 55-94 basses if you like the extended lower horn
