Happy 4th to that of you US LAKLAND fans.

My wife's uncle recently passed away... Found this at his house and had to have it..

Happy freedom day!

PS...I know it's backwards... Sorry no disrespect... But it's rolled up the other way and wouldn't lay flat for a picture.

45 stars. Old timer!

Yup. 1896 to 1908.

I also nabbed a 48 star in similar shape..

Getting ready to do some work on my hollowbody. Switching out the bridge for a hipshot vintage, nordstrand 3 band, and tv Jones thunderblades.

 

[Holdsg]

oh, that sounds interesting

Yes

Yes it does

Two holes on the vintage hipshot fit. Just need to drill one more. Smaller footprint and has quick release.

Looks good- where'd you get the knobs?

Ha! I have a stash of old ones. Though I'm actually thinking of using MXR style ones. As much as I love these knobs, I think the MXR big/mini ones might be better for this bass.

I'd like to install a Bass-Mute on my 55-94. Does' anyone happen to know the metric string spacing for that bass? He's asking for
"the string spacing you must fill in the distance between each string at the bridge, measured from core to core in metric. Just curious if
anyone has done that on an 1997 55-94. Thanks in advance

It’s been 19mm all along... same spacing as typical 4 strings. That’s a BIG reason I went with Lākland back in the day, for my 5 string needs.

Are the knobs you have on there now metal or plastic? If plastic, I'd love to get some for my pending 55-01

Si

Those look like the ones on my 44-01. Aluminum. Got mine from Best Bass Gear.

 

[deepestend]

They are on digikey as well

 

[ThomasTronics]

Is it just me or are there more laklands for now then I've seen in a long time?
We're popular again

 

[overbybr]

It ebbs and flows. I’ve seen the classifieds littered with them before, and then you’ll have a drought.

 

[bassplayer75]

Hey guys, I'm thinking I might be in the market for another Lakland! I'm thinking flame top 4-94 ... would love to see some pics posted.

 

[Holdsg]

not flamed maple, but I'm assuming you've seen the ones currently in the TB classifieds?


oh, and there's this:
