Lakland Quality for an Amazing Price!

Whether you're playing the local bar scene Friday nights, carrying the rhythm Sunday mornings, or blazing the tour circuit seven days a week, the Lakland Skyline 44-01 Series bass is the kind of instrument you want to have. The 44-01 cuts the line between premium quality and high-end price, giving you a fantastic looking (and sounding) bass for a great low price. So, if you want more from your bass without spending more for your bass, then the 44-01 by Lakland is perfect for you!

Distinct Lakland body design

Lakland's Skyline 44-01 features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a gorgeous ash body. The comfortable, offset waist design has a great balance and feel. The Skyline 44-01 even gives you the same custom-contoured curves, bridge, and pickups as the original U.S. version.

Active pickups and preamp

No matter what style of music you play, the Lakland pickup system will give you every tone you could want. The Skyline 44-01 bass sports dual Bartolini MK-1 pickups and a Bartolini preamp. These active electronics give your instrument serious punch, plus extra expression across the whole fingerboard. Split-coil, soap-bar pickups give you everything from fat, aggressive tones to mellow and warm tones.

Ash and maple - an ideal bass tonewood combination

Beneath its remarkable duo of Bartolini active pickups, the Lakland Skyline 44-01 bass features the perfect combination of tonewoods, giving you a harmonically rich and hard-hitting sound like no other. What's more, its smoothly contoured ash body makes the Skyline 44-01 one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its solid maple neck adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play.

Lakland Skyline 44-01 Series 4-string Bass Features:

  • An affordable custom bass with active pickups
  • Bartolini pickups and preamp for a wide range of tones
  • Quality tonewoods include ash and maple
  • Comfortable for long gigs
  • Perfect for any style of music

Love this bass

Out of dozens of basses in this price range that I checked out my Skyline
44-01 is the best hands down. Build quality,feel, sound, look. I love this bass.
Music background: Multi-instrumentalist, writer.

Great Feeling Bass G!

For the money, you are just NOT going to beat out this Lakland model. Very high precision for a model below 1k. Very true all the way up the neck for you players that like to explore the upper registers. Quite a variety of tones, very responsive to your touch.

OH, BTW, the PERFECT case for the majority of Lakland models is Gator ATA Molded Guitar Case, GTSAGTRBASS here at SW. Fits like a glove. That is, unless you want the Lakland case, but they don't get very many good reviews.
Music background: Worship, Casino bands

Lakeland skyline 44-01

Excellent bass. Easy to play, great tone, great looking!
Rated 5/5

Destined to be a classic

WOW! I can't believe we got a bass of this quality for this price! These are able to be put side by side with a F precision or a F jazz bass matter of fact with a little tweaking you can pull either sound the best part is it can also produce excellent harmonics and is great for slap but can easily move right back into a walk style the pick ups are outstanding.

Does your favorite bass always leave you wanting more? That's how it was for many of us at Sweetwater, until we got our hands on Lakland basses. We love these instruments because they take the iconic designs we know and kick them up a notch. When Lakland bass models go through our 55-point Evaluation, Sweetwater guitar techs can't help but notice the consistency of their superior craftsmanship - they're among the finest instruments we see. Speaking of consistency, whether you're picking up a classic 44-94 or a more affordable Skyline series model, you'll love the way these basses play, and whether you prefer boutique passive pickups or premium active electronics, look no further than Lakland.
