Well from what I've learned these basses came with 1 of 3 choices: Hansen NeoPunch, Hansen Vintage or Nordstrand NP5. Anyway to tell? I have a Nordstrand NP5 for a different project, but there are no markings on it.

Wait, how does this song start again??
Love the bass! Congrats
Anyone out there with a LOG/ Rosewood they are not in need of?
You bought it from Marcel in Austin... Right? I just asked him
The wiring telks you but I don't know which is which myself
Yes. I'll take a closer look at the wiring, not that it matters. I like the way it sounds as it sits!
Gorgeous!!!!!!!!So here it is. The LOG has landed! Notice the blackout hardware and single ply guard...

awesome!!!! of course we need pics bro!!!
Always! It's a "brother bass" to a VERY unique Lakland that I own. I thought it was crazy getting the first one...this one literally fell in my lap! Can't say I understand how these things happen.
Interesting, I had a 55-02 with the Barts that I sold to get another bass and that bass is now on CL and am thinking about getting another 02. Was a little surprised that all the ones at Sweetwater had the LH3. What do you like better about them? The Barts were a little warm, polite to my ears. Thanks, jim
I like the Barts, they are a bit darker than the new stock setup. I really like both. The LH3 has a bit more mid presence and sounds a tad more HiFi.
I've really thought about trying to swap the entire bass for a 5502D with a rosewood board and 3 tone sunburst. What I have now is the 5502D cherry sunburst with maple fretboard. I want a darker look with brighter sound.

I'm looking actually at that same bass, 3t sunburst and r/w board. So in reading some reviews some were critical that the pre-amp isn't mounted inside the control cavity, that it is just laying on top of the wiring, and that the older ones, Korean, were mounted with 2 screws. Do you know if that is true? Mine was a Korean, 2004, and I think I opened the back once and can't remember if the board was mounted or not. Sorry to bug you with all these questions, thanks, Jim
Hi, I'm new here. How would a 55-60 do in a heavier rock setting with the tight b string and 35 scale? I think they look fantastic.
No worries. The 5501 MK1 pre is not mounted, but the 5502 LH3 pre amp is mounted.
