Classic Thump, Punch, and Drive

You'll love how this electric bass guitar's alder body resonates with an impressively full, rich, balanced tone, with just enough midrange to punch through a busy mix. Bassists at Sweetwater love how the USA 44-64 PJ Classic is equipped with both a custom-wound Lakland NeoPunch P-style split-coil pickup and a J-style single-coil pickup — this means loads of that unmistakable thump that's powered the backline on many main stages for years. Complete with a quarter-sawn maple neck, as well as Lakland's innovative dual-access bridge, the USA 44-64 PJ Classic is sure to become one of your favorite electric bass guitars.
Alder and maple: an ideal bass tonewood combination
Beneath the custom-wound vintage P- and J-style pickups lies a concoction of tonewoods that exhibit a growling, hard-hitting sound like no other. What's more, its smoothly contoured alder body makes the USA 44-64 PJ Classic one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its quartersawn maple neck adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play. What's more, the neck features graphite reinforcement bars to help resist warping and twisting over the years. The Lakland dual-access bridge lets you choose whether you want to top load the strings or pass them through the body. No matter how you like your strings strung up, the USA 44-64 PJ Classic has you covered.
A classic electric bass reborn
Modeled after the 1964 incarnation of the world's first electric bass guitar, the Lakland USA 44-64 PJ Classic lets you hold down the low end in style. That's largely in part thanks to Lakland's rendition of the famous split-coil pickup, and combined with a J-style single-coil pickup, these give your USA 44-64 PJ Classic the trademark thump that's powered the backline on many main stages for years — you know the sound we're talking about! 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 USA 44-64 PJ Classic 4-string electric bass guitar.
