Ah, OK. I knew a guy who had one just like yours except with a matching headstock. I played it briefly and it was fantastic, but he later sold it.
It makes no sense that it is the single coil hum as the 55-14(94) pickups are split coil (quad coil on the bridge). Unless yours is a special order.
But in case you really want to try the Nordstrand set, I am about to unload a pair, let me know. They sound great on the 55-94.
Hmmm, I had assumed that the Jazz pickup was single coil, because it hums when I have the pickups panned to the middle, and especially if I pan all the way to the neck. Also, the MM pickup doesn't hum when I have the coil switch in the center position, but it hums if I move the switch to either side. So I had assumed the MM was dual coil. My bass is the 55-14, which doesn't have the option of a different pickup system, other than the stock LH3.
I had the same issue with a 44-02, turned out to be that one of the ground leads from the neck pu wasn't connected quite right. Contact Lakland and explain the situation, if you're the original owner, they'll take care of it. And if you're not, they'll probably still help you out in diagnosing it at the least.
Look at the back of the neck pup and make sure that it is per this pic. I had the same issue and running a bead of solder solved the problem. This is common for some reason.
Thanks, I always try to photograph and document little oddities like this. The inevitably come up time and time again. This is the 3rd or fourth time in the course of a year for this little SNAFU.
talked to leo about making a bass with a mahogany body and he said id have to have my dealer give him a call to get a quote on how much it would be.
Gosh, it's been so long since I've been on here, not out of want but simply that I've just been play'in the bass! Man, so good. P bass, Musicman, Miscellaneous sounds, all there. (Not jazz bass though, even with the humbuckers set to single coil, VERY different) I think the strange pickup placement lends itself to this. It's almost like having a pickup in the P position (front) MM position (middle) and an added bonus with an extra pickup squeezed in there between the middle pickup and the bridge.
The bass does sound nice and dark with this mahogany body. So drastically different from the other one which is Cut City. Great to have that low B again too. 34" scale feels so nice.
When I feel like I need more cut, I just play the blue one with singles. It's a nice thing to have variety.
I was gonna wait for a new Lakland Thread to repost , but Eh, oh well.

The 1,000 post limit is now gone, so it looks like thread 69 will continue on indefinitely.
Sweet basses for sure!
