He did the Tort on my Glaub and it looks fantastic. I also have a matte black for my JO CS that he did in addition to the sparkle one that looks great.
Who here plays only 5er's? I've been playing my 55-01 and am really starting to favor the active 5 over the 4. I'm considering selling both of my 44-02's for a single 55-02.
Only fivers since my first 55-94 in late 90's
Currently---
Lakland 55-94
Pedulla Pentabuzz
MTD-535/24
Not sure that I'll go back to a 4-string
I started playing bass on 5ers about 18 years ago, and switched back to 4's about 13 years ago, and never looked back.
I jumped from 4s to 6ers in '92 (started playing bass in '89), went to a 55-94 in '07 because 6 strings didn't suit the hard rock originals band I was in. Now that I'm in a covers-only band, I'm gigging 4s and tuning down to D occasionally. I favor ease and simplicity now, so I'll grab a 4 as much as possible. I can get into performing more if I don't have extra strings to keep muted. I say keep a 4 in your stable.
Bought my first 5er a few months ago and play both 4 and 5 equally. I like both for different reasons.
There is no way that I'm getting rid of my 44-60 and 44-64. Those models are the basis of the bass.
. I will always have a p and j of some kind. I want to have all of my tonal bases cover, which I do, but thinking of selling the 44-02's for a 55-02 or maybe even a 54-94. Not sure what to do yet.That is a Carlo I had Carl Pedigo custom build for me. Definitely one of my favorites. He really sweated over this one and poured himself into and extremely high quality build that I was very specific about.

Having gone from an Indo 02 to a US 94 - I wouldn't hesitate, but YMMV
Sweet, I would love to see a full shot of it if you have one. I love a good PJ...
I've posted other pics of my Lak on these threads before, but I don't think I ever posted this one here:
I just picked up a 44-64...beauty...8.5 lbs (max) 1.75" nut (just like I like it) and want to put a D tuner on it.
So the new D tuner arrives today and it turns out the ferrule for the D tuner won't fit into the headstock hole. Wrote to Lakland about it, and all they could tell me was that I have the correct parts but, many times they have to ream out the headstock hole a little to fit the ferrule.
Doesn't sound like a big deal except that I can't do it myself (tools), and if I take it to a luthier they will charge me an arm and a leg (because they will want to do a "set up" etc)
Sux cuz I do luv this darn thing
