I may not be there tomorrow. My wife's had a family emergency and I don't know if she's going to be ready to come home tomorrow. I've already been to Chi-town once this week, and I don't really want to drive up there three times (at $2.60+ per gallon).

BTW, I don't have the Deluxe 494 fretless yet, but the Burgundy Mist Classic 4-94 is on her way to Jacksonville, FL...

I'm sorry to hear that, JTE. I hope you're able to make it somehow.

My Barts are from 2003.

Bear in mind, the barts were not measured flat - they were measured EQ'ed like I like them. This meant bass cut, mid boost, and some treble boost. What was interesting was that the lakland flat matched the spectrum of the eq'd bartolini from 0-600hz. The mid knob with the freq center at 900hz was able to make the high mids match, and the treble knob had to be pushed a lot to match the highs.

The Laklands had less bass at the center detent position, which for those of you who feel like the Lakland has "more bass" you would have to think of what makes us perceive bass. Sometimes adding too much bass actually makes you perceive less; I find adding more low mid can actually make it seem like there's more low end. The Lakland pickups seem to have that mid boost built in. Again, my opinion, and YMMV.

I did boost the treble on the Bartolinis but not nearly as much as I had to boost the Lakland's treble to match it. This could also contribute to the "more bass" feeling that the Lakland pickups/pre give.

can't wait to get the DJ5, but if it's already done and they've been holding it for the gtg, i'm going to be slightly irritated.
