Thanks everyone for the kind words. I look forward to starting to play again and learning from all of you seasoned vets.

Recorded with my 4-94 Hybrid yesterday... (Factory build -US Neck & Hardware, early Lakland build Bart’s, Korean Swamp ash Body)... Recording was countryman DI into a Neve 6604 console into ProTools... Normally I’m of the opinion that the bridge pickup on the XX-94’s is where the magic happens... that I almost always have the blend knob centered or favoring the bridge PU at some level... but plugging into that board yesterday, and the music we were playing (bluesy Rock with pop-ish hooks) I rolled the blend knob to 80% the front pickup, boosted the bass a bit and the mid a bit more dialed the treble off center a tad and wow! Totally convincing P-Bass tone! I love the versatility of these basses!
Dammit fellas! Quit all this x-94 praise, it’s Christmas and I’m trying to be good!

Neve boards (even the plug-ins) have some serious mojo! Those settings probably sound great too!
When I read your post, I had to laugh! I just bought a Mike Lull T5. Really a super cool retro-modern Bird! Really well built, a great player, very comfortable, fast playing neck and all that...But then, I played my '16 American Deluxe Exotic top 55-94 and there is no comparison. I'm a Mike Lull fan, but the 55-94 blows it out of the water. Playability is unsurpassed, in my opinion. Best neck in the game! You should get one!

I had a 44-02 once upon a time, along with a 44-64, a Skyline Hollowbody, a DPLEII (twice), a DJ5, and I currently have a JO-4 and a US Hollowbody. I’m definitely sold on Lakland, but Lakland doesn’t make an exotic top single cut, and I’ve not seen a 55-94 that looks as good as my Warrior. They’re comparable in quality, though the neck on the 55-94 would probably get the nod if it came down to it. As it stands, I don’t think my Warrior is at risk of going anywhere.
I get that. I've played a couple of Warriors and I like them, too! Of course, I've met very few basses I didn't like. Happy Holidays!
Speaking of 4-94.. I just strung it with new set of LaBella nylons.. such a great strings! They look like ropes, but feel is completely comfortable and sound is exactly where I want to have it.
Of course no connection but any fellow lefty out there here is a nice 5594 at a fair price

yup, main reason I play righty. But actually can play both
Santa I've been bad;o( So I won't blame you if you put a coal black 44-60 under my tree instead of that Dakota red 55-60.
Why not dream of a White Christmas instead?For Sale - Lakland 55-94
Trust me... I'm dreaming! It's the only way is open that one.... Argh...
If it weren't for just buying a new house.... Argh
I hope my wife will not recognise my L family growed so much
