Would love to see pics of a flame top 55-94 with trans red finish if anyone has one of those.

The 55-02 in "P bass mode" might not be perfect, but I feel it's still convincing enough for most
That is gorgeous! I have Sadowski style knobs on my 44-01. Love that color which I don’t see much.
Hi gang,
Planning on purchasing a 55-94 in the coming months. I'm intending on getting a translucent color and a chambered ash body.
Does anybody know if the ash top will be from the same piece of wood as the body? Will the grain match?
Thanks for your insight!

Best to ask Lakland specifically and directly when inquiring/ ordering. That's really the only way to be sure. There'll be a subtle seam visible where the top meets the body.
When I did a great deal of singing in cover bands I had a 66 Fender Jazz Bass. which worked well for that. If I had to do that again I'd simply save up the cash and get a Lakland Hutch Hutchinson short scale.
It's just easier to navigate a fretted bass when singing songs. I can do it with a DB but not with my Lakland 55-94 Lined Fret. Do you suppose they will come out with a Skyline Hutch Hutchinson Short Scale?

Hi Stedkey, congrats on your 55-02 even if it's been a year ago
. I really liked my Gator TSA ATA case and it was a great fit for my previously owned 55-02, much lighter than my other hardcases too. Here's a link:TSA ATA Molded Bass Guitar Case-GTSA-GTRBASS - Gator Cases

Just curious if anyone has purchased a 34" scale 55-94. John showed one on facebook that also appeared here in the TB thread. I'm curious as to what the "up charge" was.
A couple of years ago it was $200 for my 34" 54-JJ, and they offer a small discount if paid in full upon ordering.. Best to ask Lakland directly by phone.....if you are ordering other options, the bundled upcharge might be less than the sum of individual charges.
I would love to trade this pickguard for one of another color. The gold foil not quite working with this Marty Bell metal flake finish. Lol
I had a pair of Doc Martins in the 90's that looked like that bass. Glitter fest. Solid bright white would look really good IMHO. Have you called Lakland, I'm sure you could order a new one.

I have 55-94 /55-02 LH3 pickups and preamp that I need to move along.
Thought I'd let you all know before I list them in the classifieds this weekend.
If interested you know what to do.

Hey, I’m looking into DI preamps. Not even sure if I need one. I have a 44-02 and a DJ-4. I can see the benefit of using a DI preamp for the passive bass, but for me 44-02, the preamp is built in. Does anyone use a DI preamp with their active Laklands?
Edit: I also have an amp. I understand the value of a DI preamp with no amp. My Fender Rumble 800 has a DI out.

somewhat redundant for an active bass, but some people think that "every little bit helps" towards the tone.
If you are one of those, I would have no hesitation to use a DI/preamp with any kind of bass.

It really is a nice case. I have one of my 44-01's in one
I just bought a new one from Lakland in pearl white. It was about $56. shipped. Fast ship. I don't think the gold would go on my Ice Blue metallic.
I'm a weird person. I typically stay with conservative vintage styles and colors but for some reason when something goes sparkly (especially with larger flakes) then I think it looks best over the top. I love that guard with that finish.
