Iconic Lakland Bass, Amazing Value!
Celebrating the iconic style of the first mass-produced electric bass guitar, the Lakland Skyline 44-51 shares its classic slab body and proprietary hybrid NeoPunch Hum-Canceler pickup with its US-made counterpart — which makes it an incredible value! The 44-51 delivers the powerful tone that, combined with their portability, enabled those early basses to supplant the upright bass and become the industry standard. The Skyline 44-51 serves up vintage sound and visuals in a flawless modern instrument with precision Lakland fretwork and neck refinements that provide the slick playability today’s top bass players demand. Play a modern classic: the Lakland Skyline 44-51 electric bass.
A legendary electric bass — reborn!
Inspired by the 1950s incarnation of the world’s first electric bass, the Lakland Skyline 44-51 lets you hold down the low end in style. That’s largely thanks to Lakland’s amazing custom-wound rendition of the famous split-coil pickup — the NeoPunch Hum-Canceler — which gives your Skyline 44-51 the trademark low-end punch that drives the band and sits perfectly in the mix. And with upgrades such as Lakland’s impressive dual-access bridge, you’ll get the best combination of classic sound and modern stability with your Skyline 44-51 bass.
Skyline Series: top quality at an affordable price
The Lakland Skyline 44-51 electric bass gives you superlative quality for a great low price. That’s because the Skyline 44-51, like all Skyline Series basses, is made overseas and finished in Lakland’s stateside shop. So, regardless of where it was originally made, each Skyline 44-51 passes through the hands of Lakland’s US luthiers long before it finds its way to you. And when you add to that the fact that your Skyline 44-51 comes equipped with the same electronics and hardware as its US-made cousin, you know you’re getting an amazing deal.
