Members Phantasm Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 At least for now I've been happy... "A" channel is for fingerstyle and I use the "B" channel for a slightly overdriven pick sound. So far, so good, at least for the band I'm in that's rehearsing regularly. Not necessarily useful but slightly on topic and may be of interest to someone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2007 Is that a 4-94? If not, which Lakland? No question, that must be a dominating rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Sounds like a great rig. I owned a 700RBII for a short period of time and really liked it. I sold it to a guy in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a 55-76, it's the Lakland version of a Stingray 5. It's got a Seymore Duncan humbucker with the new Lakland preamp system. I do have a 4-94 with the Bartolini pickups and NTMB EQ, and I prefer that one through Ampeg head / Eden cab that I've used for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2007 How do you like that combination of SD pickup and Lakland preamp? I've played a lot of basses with the new pickups and preamps, but never the preamp without the pickups. I've also played a 55-76 with a SD and the old preamp. My favorite sounding Lakland ever was a Dark Starred 4-76. Oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4-94 is more "polite" sounding with the bartolinis. I have seen the fabled dark-starred 4-76! Many have spoken of this bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polite is a polite way to put it. Soft and weak is another. There were a few Dark Starred 4-76s. I only played one, but oh man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few Dark Starred 4-76s. I only played one, but oh man... I don't usually like Bartolinis either. I like the nicer EMG's which usually everyone hates, but I'm not afraid for there to be "bite" and "attack" in my sound. For the 4-94, I override the pickups by boosting a lot at 800hz on the Ampeg amp and I actually roll off some of the lows on the bass to get more mids out. I usually boost at 2.5k and 500hz too on the bass. The Lakland EQ has more mid points and seems more versatile. I like the bass eq on the instrumet a lot better on the 55-76 better also, it's more controlled and less boomy. I have not actually held or played a dark starred Lakland. I've heard a lot of good and I just try to put it out of my mind while the gear budget recharges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
