Like Markus, I love and have owned both. For your purposes, I suspect the Decade will be the better choice tonally. Check the soundclips if you haven't already and see what you think: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I put those neo punch pups into the Glaub on Sunday: I'm a fan! Definitely an improvement to my ears!
Randy, I guess you didn't read my posts when I got my early US JO in 2009.I sang the praises of the stack knob layout then. Being able to roll some treble off that bridge pickup was pretty darn cool in my book.
glad it works for you! On my side, unfortunately, the VT/VT layout mod for the (formerly you-know-whose) LOG BG5 PJ didn't prove fantastic. I mean, it most probably outran the VVT combo I'd normally get, but still, I wasn't sold on it.
Also, I could only wish there were more contrasting markings than the black screws on chrome barrel offer... no good on stage
Okay, so my ex-55-94 gladly reached the destination point and even played a few gigs in the weekend. The new owner sent me a SL55-94 Dlx. in return. Since I didn't post it in this thread, so here you go (see below). Some may wonder at the logo on the head, some already know.
Now, as we were interchanging our pickups (he DID admit that he liked the LH-3 after all!) a question occured: for some reason the wires on the LH-3 are way fatter than those on the Bartolinis. It is like, they could handle 380V, - but why on earth...? Has anyone heard about this before? I am interested and will address Hanson if noone here has a clue.

NSD (new strap day)
The LOG has a killer strap maker, and John is his name! I promise to get a pic of this on one of my Laklands ASAP, but this is the bass I bought it for... so enjoy the schmexiness ;-D.

Thanks. It suits the band I'm currently in also. We play a lot of classic rock and country (old and new). Thankfully, we also play some modern stuff, old R&B, funk etc to keep me interested lol.
Whoa, is that a Delgada? I have wanted one for a while but the only colors I have ever seen are are trans red les paul color... and the pink one.

This is the 2003 55-02D that I got last week. This one is so different than the 2008 55-02D with the LH3 that I traded to Marcel. Not sure if its the Bart's or just "soul" of the bass, but this is what I expect from a 55-02, sheer perfection.
Nice! I have a couple of John's straps too! Top notch...love 'em!
Yep...That used to be mine! Killer basses!

I had several folks who had played quite a few Laklands tell me that was one of the best 55-02's they had ever played. The 1st owner, with me being the 2nd, was the manager of the bass department at the local dealer where I bought it. Makes sense that he would hand pick one of the best. Glad you enjoy it.
I've only been playing bass since 2010, and I always felt a little unimpressed with P-basses (The Dude being an exception). Until recently I hadn't tried playing with a pick, instead preferring finger style. Well, last night I discovered the amazing sound of a P bass with the tone cranked being played with a pick. Although I think fundamentally I'm always going to be a jazz bass enthusiast, I finally gained a solid appreciation for the Precision. I suppose it helps that it was a Lakland... 
On that note, I played my Glaub this past Sunday and got lots of compliments on the looks (some on the sound too). Wilkins' CAR is so rich...
