Distinct Lakland body design
Lakland's 55-02 Deluxe Skyline features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a striking quilted maple top. The comfortable offset waist design lends the bass great balance and playing comfort. The 55-02 Deluxe Skyline even gives you the same contoured body, bridge, and pickups as the original US version. That's why you'll find 55-02 basses backing some of the largest touring acts in the world. Balance, comfort, and great playability are all hallmarks of this 55-02 Deluxe.
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 55-02 Deluxe bass sports the same hand-wound pickups and preamp found on the USA made 44-94. These active electronics give your instrument serious punch and added 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 tonewood combination
Beneath its remarkable duo of Lakland pickups, the Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe bass features a gorgeous and great-sounding combination of tonewoods for a harmonically rich and hard-hitting sound. Its smoothly contoured ash body makes the Skyline 55-02 Deluxe one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up. What's more, this model boasts a quilted maple top that adds sustain and attack while looking gorgeous onstage. Finally, the maple neck and fingerboard add extra punch and sustain to every note you play.
