Johnebass Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have a Lakland 55-01 (maple board) with Fat Stacks and an OBP-3. Although it sounds nice it's a little too transparent for me and I was looking for a darker/thicker/fatter sound if you know what I mean. Not sure whether to change the pre-amp or pickups or both. Maybe the new Aguilar soapbar? Any comments would be appreciated. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness21 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've been lusting after a 55-01 with fat stacks and an obp-3! I play a stingray, and looking for something a bit meatier. May well go for a p bass but tried an Ibanez with Big Singles which I loved, then tried the fat stacks and properly loved them! Sorry I was of no help lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I put a John East preamp in my Stingray a while back and just love it. Sounds grittier and more responsive to me. Going to do the same with my 55 01 as soon as I have a few quid to spare. Will leave the Bart pickups in it for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If you want a fuller sound on your 55-01, try a good set of flatwound strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I won't buy another bass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
