A distinctive bass with "the right stuff"
Lakeland's Skyline Decade bass builds on the company's considerable bass-making knowhow. The Skyline Decade features a comfortable and balanced mahogany body, a fast-playing flat-sawn rock maple neck, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays. The distinctive body shape and headstock give the Decade the je ne sais quoi to set you apart from the crowd. And with its two high-output Chi-Sonic single-coil pickups, the Skyline Decade powers your bottom end with a distinctive Lakeland growl.

Lakland's stateside attention to detail
The Lakeland Skyline Decade Receives the company's thorough stateside inspection and tweakage. Renowned for the impeccable boutique quality of their Chicago-made basses, how can Lakland's overseas-made Skyline Series instruments meet the company's fanatically strict quality guidelines? Simple. Every bass - regardless of its country of origin - goes across the company's Chicago workbenches and through the hands of its US luthiers before being delivered to a dealer. Lakland makes sure they're completely happy with every bass before giving it a pass. You'll find that the playability, tone and overall quality of Lakland's Skyline basses will meet - and exceed - your expectations.
