Here are a few Pics of me rocking my 55-02 with my band the Subterraneans last Saturday Night.

My guitarist plays a Hanson Guitar ;-)

Peace

Great pics! That's a sweet Hanson, too. I've played a few; I'll own one someday.

 

[Berger912]

Thank you for the kind words, I really dig the hanson guitar too. If I was gonna buy an electric guitar I think that might be the one.

+1. I sweat the Hansons... And that one with the P90s in particular.

[basspraiser]

DR Hi Beam Long necks worked well for me when I had my 55-94(s). [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], but they work nicely.

Lakland strings always fit.....They have a full range of styles and materials...

 

[basspraiser]

She's sticking with me for a while...she's a real hottie!

Scratching my head on this DPLEII.
Decent size bow in the neck...saddles raised up REALLY high.
slight string buzz.
And with me being a total bonehead in the tech dept. Not sure what to do with it?
might bring it to a tech this week? who knows?
Kinda bummed being honest.
The condition of the bass is pretty much Mint (barely) minus...
Very clean and plays great.

 

[Tat2dHeart]

Wow - look at all the stuff I missed while I was out remodeling. Upside - remodel is done. Downside - it was too quiet without checking in on all ya'll and piping up occasionally. I guess I'll have to prioritize better and postpone any more remodeling projects. LOL.

The truss rod needs tweaking and it needs a set up. Take it to a great tech or send it to Carl (the postage is worth it to have him set it up!).....then it will be worth its weight in gold......sounds like the truss rod adjustments are outta the realm of anything you should touch if the bow is that noticeable.

The last thing you want to do is snap that neck! It really cannot be replaced...
