Distinct Lakland body design
Lakland's Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric bass features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a gorgeous quilt maple top. The comfortable offset-waist design has great balance and feel. The Skyline 44-02 Deluxe even gives you the same custom-contoured curves, bridge, and pickups as the original US version.
Active pickups and preamp
No matter what style of music you play, the Lakland MM-J pickup system will give you every tone you could want. The Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string electric bass sports the same amazing pickups and preamp found on the (much more expensive) 44-94. 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.
Ash and maple: an ideal bass tonewood combination
Beneath its remarkable duo of active pickups, the Lakland Skyline 44-02 Deluxe 4-string 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 ash body makes the 44-02 Deluxe Skyline one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its solid roasted maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play.
