Go ahead: slap and pop — they thrive on abuse! The 3-band preamp gives you boost/cut controls for Treble, Midrange, and Bass; you can even select from three midrange center frequencies with a 3-way mini switch.

Skyline Series: excellent quality at an affordable price
The Skyline 55-OS Offset electric bass gives you Lakland quality for a great low price. That’s because the Skyline 55-OS, like all Skyline Series basses, is made overseas and finished in Lakland’s stateside shop. So, regardless of where it was originally made, each Skyline 55-OS passes through the hands of Lakland’s US luthiers long before it finds its way to you. And when you add to that the fact that your Skyline 55-OS comes equipped with the same electronics and hardware as its US-made cousins, you know you’re getting an amazing deal.
