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.
