bubinga5 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 after a while of not buying a bass i really want buy a 5 string... the 55-02 is on my mind.. i had a 55-01 with Nordstrand fat stacks and it was pretty good... ive never played a 55 with the humbucker jazz set up... what is the bass like, im guessing it has the Lakland LH preamp?

andydye Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I have a 2012 55-02 std with mm/s and the Lakland pre. I had a 2011 55-01 before that with j/j barts. Both really nicely made and great sounding. 55-02 a little stronger in the mids and a little less clunky sounding, sweeter top end too, a bit more versatile sounding with the switched choice of coils on the mm too...

andydye Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 ...and 55-02 feels a bit firmer in the bottom, still lots but somehow slightly less flabby (55-01 not flabby but 55-02 even less so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Been there done it. Great bass. Issues? One only: epic b string from 35" scale however D and G strings too taught with that scale. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
