1878 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi, does anyone know if a lakland skyline 55-01 with bartolini NTMB is suited to playing metal or does it lean more towards jazz style? Ta in advance, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 With the 2 humbuckers and 3 band EQ it should be capable of either really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It should cover most things... and like said before, the scale length gives a nice low B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Im pretty sure these aren't humbuckers in the 55-01. I had one and upgraded the pre to a NTMB and i used to get hum if i sat too near a CRT monitor or lighting rig. Although you still have the three band EQ you also have a mid range selector (i had a switch on the front of mine) and that seems to open up the EQ options quite a bit. I could get a really nice, clanky rock tone from them though. Edited January 9, 2009 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
