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 55-02 Deluxe Skyline series bass is the kind of instrument you want to have. The 55-02 Deluxe cuts the line between premium quality and high-end price, giving you a fantastic looking (and sounding) bass for a great low price. So if you want more from your bass without spending more for your bass, then the 55-02 Deluxe by Lakland is perfect for you!
Lakland's 55-02 Deluxe Skyline features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a gorgeous quilt maple top. The comfortable offset waist design has great balance and feel.The 55-02 Deluxe Skyline even gives you the same custom-contoured curves, bridge, and pickups as the original US version.
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 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.
Beneath its remarkable duo of Lakland pickups, the Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe 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 55-02 Deluxe Skyline 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.
