chris_b Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Very good basses for not a lot of money. I briefly had a 55-01. Sounded good and played well, but weighed over 10lbs, so too heavy to be comfortable for me. If I could find one that weighs about 8 1/2lbs I'd buy it in a flash.

OmeDunk Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I also have a 55-01. best neck ever IMO. Sound: modern. But if you roll back the highs and with worn in strings you can get close to more vintage sounds. (Never tried flats on it) overall opinion seems to be to ditch the stock preamp and replace it. I am going that route within a week or so. 44-01 can be bought pre-loved for around 400 gbp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass_Guardian Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I had a 44-01 Thought the neck was great and felt like a quality instrument. More than it's price tag for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have a 55-01 with swapped out US Bartolini electronics. It hits way above its price point and I'm really happy with it! Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
