the prob. I have with the dip switches, is that you gotta set it before prax/gig/playing at volume in a mix. not so easy to do DURING..
that said, its good to have options so you don't get bored with a bass.
 
My LH3 mids are set to 275 / 250 ( can't remember exactly). Lo-mid tweaks are really useful for me, but I sometimes wish I had a 4-band pre.

I usually boost that frequency (250) on my amps because I like the low-mid punch. I'm thinking I need a higher frequency to punch though the mix when needed. Just gotta figure what plays nice with my amp settings I guess.
 
Nice pair! :bassist:

Love 'm!

This may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to replace the mk-1 preamp with a LH3. If it is, then I think that is the route that I am gonna go.. sick of my buzzing preamp.

Have you checked all of the ground connections? I'm only saying this because my mk1 is silent... just like my lh-3.

That being said, I seem to recall some incompatibilities with the barts in an -01 and the lh-3 (Doude, help me out with this one...) most common mod is a mk5 pre for the -01.

Before you sink good money into it, have a local luthier check the connections for inconsistent solder joints.
 
Well, I got a reply from both Lakland and Dan's Guitars. New stock
should be about a week to get into the factory, a week or so to
get Plek'd and set up, then shipped after that. Well, the order is
in so now I'm biting my nails until it comes in. What I cannot believe
is how comfortable the 35" scale neck is to play. Not really much of
an adjustment from the 34". Plus, the extra string spacing at 19mm
versus my MM at 17.5mm is just perfect. Plus with all of the tone
flexibility in the preamp, this thing is going to rock.
