Lakland Skyline 44-51 Bass Guitar - Candy Apple Red Reviews
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.

If you need BASS.
This is my current gig bass, and it's one of my favorites. The neck is big, but feels great (and I have smaller hands.) The finish is what you'd expect from Lakland; simple and clean. The sound is huge, due probably to the massive body. It's the best "divebomber" bass I've had; slide down the neck on the E string and you will speak with authority. Massive bass. The overall tone is great, mine has no dead spots and it's easy to dial in a great tone.
The cons: First, it's heavy. If you're stuck playing three sets in a cramped area, I'd take a lighter bass for the third set to avoid backache (I use a Lakland 44-64 for this.) Second, the slab body style is uncomfortable if you like to play high on the body. It's better for mid to low slingers. Despite those issues, I really like the 44-51. I can't think of an instrument at this price point that I've liked as much.
Lakland skyling 44-51
I have had my Lakland Skyline 44-51 for a year now . I did not know anyone who had owned one so I really read up on Lakland .
I play a Ric 4003 and I wanted a bass with a little more bottom end for somethings I do.
It is a little heavy but it has tone to die for . As it is getting more and time on it I am really learning to appreciate
Lakeland good work on this bass.
its a very straight forward bass , no bells and whistles just a great instrument.
