I'm going to smooth out these cuttings to get a better idea. They look great as is. Lots of spalting in this tree.

IMHO the jazz the closest of the 3 tones. That said IMHO none of them NAIL the intended Leo tone. But It's a solid workable version of it. that also has a lakland influenced voice. While I'm the guy that has a strait J and P. The next bass I think I'd really would like these days is a 44-94. Dead quiet and I've been told very easy to work in a mix. Sound like a perfect "bad room" bass.

It looks nice, but of course you'd need pieces without any imperfections or soft wood. I think you could get some good pieces of wood out of that old tree.
I'm going to experiment. I'm wanting to find a way to use the imperfections. The first task is to cit it into 1/4" slabs and see what happens. If nothing else, I'll have lots of good wood for BBQ or baseball bats.
My 55-02D
Love it, love Lakland, but lately, been thinking of switching to... ???
I don't really use the modern sound of the 55-02 that much, I usually have the HB split to more like a J type, in fact I've been using my P bass a lot lately... Also having some back issues, so need to go a bit lighter... maybe a JO4, or a hollow body? or... ? The more vintage tone??
Thoughts?

Switch the pups out for LH pups. They mimic P and J basses much better than the Barts.

My daughter's nickname was Bug when she was little
And 100% smashmouth fan...
I don't get the reference... But smashmouth is one of the 10 worst bands of all time.
Bugg is AWESOME looking... She looks like she'll go into tasmanian devil mode. Spinning a whirlwind tornado with love.
Boston Terrier? Is she farty?

Awesome sandals.
LOL
Actually its a legit question. Boston's are known to be the fart-iest dogs. The more smooshed the face the worse they are.
