LOG! Looking for some help, the drop-dead 55-07(may have it wrong) in Ice Blue on the classifieds has got me thinking. I have the $$, but I've never played a USA Lakland and don't know much about Lakland in general. First off, would you guys hunt me down for stringing a Lakland E-C? Second, what are the general characteristics of the sound that you can get from the 55-07 with the Chi's? I've only tried the Hollowbody with the CHi's and I imagine that it'll be infinitely different do to the preamp and the body construction. Any and all comparison and advice helps!

Best regards,

Brooks

Hey Brooks, excellent choice!

I owned that bass, you can find more about it here at the LOG:

There's videos of a similar bass and tons of pics.

Get it, it's a steal. I am also thinking about getting it back. But yes, I would get on your case for the E-C nut. :)

Hi guys, Have had my 2007 4402 deluxe for a few years and really enjoy it. One issue I have always had with the bass is, it seem;s to be lacking a bit on the bottom end. I usually run the bass well above the flat position as I use quite a bit of low end. My question is where should the adjustable mid control in the preamp be set to achieve a bit more low end. I realize the lakland pre amps are pretty linear, but i would like a bit more clean bottom.

Consider dropping the mid control onto the lowest frequency dipswitch for extra fatness. There's a link on this page to the LH-3 control diagram: Invalid Link Removed
