Unfortunately, at least in the case of my 55/94 I cannot run the B on a set of Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt Flats through the body. My luthier tried it once and
the B broke. So, I don't know if it's just my particular instrument or most 55/94's made in 1999, but you want to check to be sure first. Just my take
Interesting… I doubt any bass makes a B bend quite as sharp as the 1st Gen bridge. The ribbon spread a bit but, no breaking. This is the 130.Unfortunately, at least in the case of my 55/94 I cannot run the B on a set of Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt Flats through the body. My luthier tried it once and

On Ruby, my Skyline Duck Dunn, I didn't have time do a string change myself... took it to a local tech friend, and he strung the LaBella 760FL's I left him though the body, only because the previous strings were.. technically they aren't made for through body, but that was over 4 years ago and no issues whatsoever.. it's a beast
I’d have to say that you got lucky with the non-thru-body LaBella strings, cause they are not that flexible! Congrats!
I wouldn't kick that off my bass stand.
Thats one sweet bass, great pickups in that position
That is a gorgeous bass!!
I think I’m digging the Guild Bisonic’s sound more than the Novak Darkstar, from what I hear in YouTube comparison clips, like what Jake Serek and others post. I’ve owned two Darkstar Laklands (maybe 3… hard to remember them all, back when I was obsessed LOL) and didn’t keep them. My opinion… there’s no pickup worth $300! It’s magnets and copper wire… not the magic voodoo meets rocket science that some folks want you to believe. Again, just my opinion.. not trying to make anyone mad or anything.
Hasn't gone yet, so it's still getting some play. Slowly lowering the price on here and Reverb until it does.
Not disagreeing with you there, I had a Charvel Surfcaster that I fitted the Novak Darkstar to, sounded fantastic but I too sold it on once I bought my Warwick Infinity. It was an expensive exercise but I recovered my costs and enjoyed the experience.
But keeping with the Lakland thread I have kept my 44-94
My 44-02 isn't as cool by any means, but it plays well in hot & sweaty stage conditions nonetheless:
Sweet, I had a 44-02, an early Korean with Bartolini pickups. Wished I never sold it, such a great bass to play, the neck just felt great in your hands. I got it for $500 AUD, type of bass that is a great player and good for a knock around, current basses I am always scared they will get damaged or stolen. I contacted the current owner recently, but he won't part with it....
