A Value-packed Bass with Lakland Quality

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 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric bass is the kind of instrument you want to have. The 44-02 Deluxe walks the line between premium quality and high-end price, giving you a fantastic looking, playing, and sounding bass at a down-to-earth price. So if you want more from your bass without spending more for your bass, take it from Sweetwater: the Skyline 44-02 Deluxe by Lakland is perfect for you!

Distinct Lakland body design

Lakland's Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric bass features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a gorgeous spalted maple top. The comfortable offset-waist design has great balance and feel. The Skyline 44-02 Deluxe even gives you the same custom-contoured curves, bridge, and pickups as the original US version.

Active pickups and preamp

No matter what style of music you play, the Lakland MM-J pickup system will give you every tone you could want. The Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric bass sports the same amazing pickups and preamp found on the (much more expensive) 44-94. These active electronics give your instrument serious punch, plus extra expression across the whole fingerboard. A dual-coil MM-style humbucking pickup in the bridge gives you fat, aggressive tones. Meanwhile, the Lakland Split-coil J-style humbucking pickup in the neck position offers mellow, warm tones without any of the hum that plagues vintage designs.

Ash and maple: an ideal bass tonewood combination

Beneath its remarkable duo of active pickups, the Lakland Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric 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 44-02 Deluxe Skyline one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its solid maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play.

Lakland Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string Electric Bass Features:

  • An affordable custom bass with active pickups and a beautiful spalted maple top
  • Same hardware and electronics as the US-made Lakland bass
  • Solid feel with active pickup punch
  • Same high-end preamp and electronics featured on the 44-94
  • 9V-powered pre with snap-on cover — no screws!
  • Comfortable for long gigs
  • Perfect for any style of music

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.
