Those are really sharp looking!I just GAS'd myself. I made these and realized that I don't have the right color bass for them. I have to buy a black or purple bass now...
That was quick!!!These are going to Markus, Birds eye Maple with Bocote indicators.
He will love them!!

I think those are the best knobs for new wave/ retro ..
Hi guys.
I guess I'll have to hand in my membership card. I had to sell my pretty 55-02 this evening to help pay some bills. It's been a rough year so far on the work front. I'd love to say that my Lakland-free life will be a temorary thing, but I honestly don't know what the future will bring

Wait, how does this song start again??
My Lakland Skyline 55-64 and Carvin BX500 / Greenboy f112 rig was walkin' and talkin' today!!!
Really sorry to hear that man...hopes and prayers for the best.....this year has been slow for me in the business front as well ( although I cannot figure out why).
LOG numbers are permanent...so its always yours.. Just sad to see Amber north being sold!
Peace..
For those who owns 4 strings Skyline: how stable is the neck without graphite bars? Just curious although all of my other basses are OK without the bars. Currently gassing for 44 or 55-64.
Btw my I get a number for my 55-02?

I'm having serious trouble...
I loaded my JO4 with Aguliar HOT J's and now I'm not happy with my 55-02 with Barts... They're just too polite... I don't know if it's the pre, the pickups, the combo, or the nature of active v passive. But I can't live like this anymore... I was the worlds biggest 55-94/02 fan, heck I was a 5 stringer bigot... Now... I'm down to 1 5 string... And pick up this JO4 98% of the time
I still love the 55 necks, and the body style is still perfect... Anybody play the 55 classic yet with the single coils?

Seriously.... Try A 5502 with the LH3 set up.... You can make it much more aggressive sounding than the BARTS.....
I think the lh3 pre and pickups are the cure.. ..
Good luck

I second what Doug says. LH3 and the newer pups will definitely get you where you need to go. The one I just sold (aka Amber North) was set up that way, and it was a whole different world than the barts.
If you ever get yourself to CHI town you can try mine....
Although that might not happen soon enough...

In the 4-94 I had, I replaced the Lakland pickups with Delanos (which are also hotter) - great combo with the LH3, actually opened up the bass more. But then I discovered the Sadowsky pre combo with Delano pickups in my 4-63 (dual J).
I like the LH3, but it can be a little hi-fi on certain settings. The Sadowsky just does it for me without having to fuss around with settings during song changes. I set the bass and treble levels once then adjust the VTC depending on the needs of the song, very quick, but still versatile, YMMV of course

How did the pickup switching work? Were you able to keep the front/back/both like in the Bart/Laklands?In the 4-94 I had, I replaced the Lakland pickups with Delanos (which are also hotter) - great combo with the LH3, actually opened up the bass more.

Which Delano? I have Delano Hybrid on my Clover bass, surely hotter than those of Lakland.
