Lakeland Skyline 55-01 pickups

[AussieBassman]

So I just bought one of these used and I don't like the Bart pups in it, too bland. Has anybody changed theirs for anything with a bit more bite to them, preferably a straight drop-in fit?

I believe Nordstrand's are pretty much a direct replacement? Have seen a few 55-01's on the forum modded with with Big Splits, or were they Big Singles ? Have a look at their site http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/index.shtml

I never really liked them in my old 55-01 either.
I changed the preamp but i still didnt really love the tone. I think the pups are the only let down on these bases.
For what its worth i change the pups in my Lakland DJ5 to Nordstrands and didnt really like those either.
