Premature NBD...Lakland 55-02

[scuzzy]

Not usually a rosewood guy, but that one looks nice. May it arrive timely and in pristine shape. That pickup config is the shizz.

Yeah. I started with full maple necks/boards and then gradually came around to the look of this one overall. I like how clean it looks and am hopeful the rosewood knocks some of the top end sizzle of the preamp down a bit.

I waited 8 hours and couldn't wait anymore. Also don't have a lot of patience for but a few pics.

Having played it for a short while, I am VERY pleased with the B string and the overall feel. It's very comfortable to hold and play. I'll reserve judgement on how it sounds until I've gotten more familiar with the preamp and it's settings. Set up, fit, and finish are impeccable out of the box. I'm very pleased overall!

I have never waited, but I am not a role model. At least I'm no role model when it comes to GAS.

Hubba hubba! What a beautiful bass! I have impeccable taste too

I'm constantly rotating between a Jazz, P, and 'Ray so I'm hoping this will get close enough to all three so I can stop the juggling.

Of course I'm keeping the Jazz, P, and 'Ray just in case.

The trick to nail jazz P and Ray tones with the 55-02/94 is to remember that the EQ knobs go both ways

Lakland's, Skyline and US made are fine basses, you will love it, and it will serve you well!
