NBD - Lakland 55-02

[Big Bass Man]

Hi everyone - wanted to share with you all my AMAZING new bass - I got this Lakland 55-02 yesterday from fellow Basschat member and all round good guy andydye.
Not gigged yet but just had a quick play and it's sounds and feels absolutely brilliant - it's a weird feeling, it just seems to "fit" me :-)

Looking forward to my first gig with it soon!

Thanks matey, I hope the 55-02 gives you many pleasurable gigging hours and that your band are so impressed with the sound that they soon forget the p-bass...

You can't go wrong with this bass, or Lakland in general,

Congrats on the new Lakkie, I have the very same one and it has become my go to bass.

These are superb 5 strings. Congrats!

I had a 44-02 a few years ago and it was a superb - sounding bass . These basses have got so many great sounds lurking in that pickup configuration that there really isn't much you can't do with them . As well as all the Fender and Musicman - inspired tones there are some fairly unique sounds in there too . I particulaly like the sound of the neck pickup combined with the front coil ( nearest to the neck) of the MM pickup . Chunky sounding with plenty of bottom end , but clear , articulate and defined at the same time . Enjoy it .

Thanks guys for all the positive comments - think I've a bass for life here!
The build quality is second to none and the range of sounds (as mentioned above by Dingus) is truly outstanding! I'm one happy bunny!
Hmm maybe a DJ 5 as well then ? 😉

Yup, great build quality. I regret selling my DJ on last summer...best jazz bass that I ever owned - and I have owned one or two good vintage F****r jazzers in my time.

These are lovely basses. I've got the deluxe version of this - on sale here actually. I just wish I'd bought the 4-string version instead and I'd be keeping it, finding the neck width just a tad uncomfortable for me.
