Classic Thump, Punch, and Drive

Pick up a Lakland USA Classic 44-64 4-string electric bass guitar and prepare yourself for some 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. Of course, the thing that makes the USA Classic 44-64 so popular among Sweetwater's bass players is its amazing custom-wound Lakland NeoPunch P-style Split-coil pickup, which gives you loads of that unmistakable thump that's powered the backline on many main stages for years. The bass comes complete with a graphite-reinforced maple neck and Lakland's innovative dual-access bridge. And the more you play the USA Classic 44-64, the more likely it is to become one of your favorite electric bass guitars.

Alder and maple — an ideal bass tonewood combination

Beneath its remarkable custom-wound Lakland NeoPunch P-style Split-coil pickup, the USA Classic 44-64 4-string electric bass guitar features the perfect combination of tonewoods, giving you a growling, hard-hitting sound like no other. What's more, its smoothly contoured alder body makes the USA Classic 44-64 one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its rock maple neck adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play. 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 Classic 44-64 has you covered.

A classic electric bass — reborn

Modeled after the 1964 incarnation of the world's first electric bass guitar, the Lakland USA Classic 44-64 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, the NeoPunch. It gives your USA Classic 44-64 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 Classic 44-64 4-string electric bass guitar.

Reviews

Cool as a Moose.
My USA Lakland "P"-style Bass goes way past my expectations. With the strings that came on it, plugged into my Fender Bassman 500 running through a 12" Mesa Subway... it growls like a big bear with gas trying to grunt out a rap tune.

Never had a bass that sounded as throaty as this one… The first time I played it plugged in, I was glad that I installed strap locks beforehand. I was as excited as a kid at Christmas. 8-)

The neck is shaped to suit me better than most "P" basses. It"s thinner than most, although it is just as wide. Still plenty of sturdy maple to transmit gobs of tone to the fabulous split pickup without it feeling like Shrek's baseball bat. No doggone battery; just a wide range of thumpy tone, adjustable from a smooth, deep growl to a snarky snarl - with one tone pot! "HA, HAAAAA - what da-a-ay is it!!?" (I"m as happy as a camel on Wednesday…)

Although I"m still plenty in love with my Fender Elite Jazz Bass, if the Lakland works as well with the PA and an amp simulator DI pedal - as it does with my amp - it"s going to be with me a lot when I"m going out the door with a bass.

As always, Ryan Wiltermood made the purchasing experience as quick and painless as possible - Sweetwater is a great company with sales and customer service departments that are IMO "Best in the Business" and a RARITY these days.

Amazing Bass!!!
Picked this up as a second to my U.S made Fender Jazz bass and I must say I was totally blown away. The action on this bass is super low and playability is incredible. Has an amazing full and punchy sound. Finding it very hard to put down and go back to my Jazz bass! This is my first Lakland and I would definitely recommend this bass without hesitation.
Great Bass
I tried a dozen p basses searching for the perfect one. Well I think I got what I was looking for with this USA Lakland. It plays great with a super smooth neck. The cut of the neck blew me away. 1.75" nut width can be chunky but this thing plays much faster than an old traditional Fender p bass neck. The pickups sound great, classic punch and low lows.
Very happy with this purchase.
Music background: All things bass

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.
