A classic electric bass — reborn!
Modeled after the 1964 incarnation of the world's first 4-string electric bass, the Lakland Skyline 44-64 lets you hold down the low end in style. That's largely thanks to Lakland's rendition of the famous split-coil pickup layout, which gives your electric bass the trademark thump that's powered the backline on many main stages for years — you know the sound we're talking about! On top of that, this Skyline 44-64 comes loaded with a J-style single-coil pickup, giving you access to a whole universe of diverse tones. 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 44-64 bass.
Skyline Series gives you excellent quality at an affordable price
The Lakland Skyline 44-64 4-string electric bass gives you amazing quality for a great price. That's because the Skyline 44-64, like all Skyline Series basses, is made overseas and finished in Lakland's stateside shop. So, each Skyline 44-64 passes through the hands of Lakland's US luthiers long before it finds its way to you. Adding to that the fact that your Skyline 44-64 comes equipped with the same pickups and hardware as its US-made cousin, you know you're getting an amazing deal.
