A True Workhorse Bass!

If you're a gigging musician, you need the Lakland 55-14 solidbody electric bass guitar. 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 55-14 is the bass for you. The 55-14 delivers premium tones with an alder body, Lakland pickups, active electronics, and many more professional features. So if you need a workhorse bass that's ready for any style, the Lakland 55-14 is the perfect bass for you!

Distinct Lakland body design

Lakland's 55-14 electric bass features a distinct and recognizable body shape with an ultra-stable maple neck. The comfortable offset waist design has great balance and feel. The smooth, compound-radius rosewood fretboard and graphite reinforced neck combine to give you a great playing bass.

Active pickups and preamp deliver deep bass

No matter what style of music you play, the Lakland MM-J pickup system will give you every tone you could want. The Lakland 55-14 bass sports a powerful active electronics system. 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.

Alder and maple: an ideal bass tonewood combination

Beneath its remarkable duo of Lakland active pickups, the Lakland 55-14 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 alder body makes the 55-14 one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its solid 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 Lakland 55-14 has you covered.

Lakland USA Classic 55-14 5-string Bass Guitar Features:

  • A 5-string custom bass with active electronics
  • Lakland Dual Access bridge gives you two options for stringing your bass
  • Quality tonewoods for great tone and sustain
  • Comfortable body and neck shape for long gigs
  • Perfect for any style of music
  • Pickups: Lakland LH-55 set / quad coil bridge & dual coil neck

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.
