Description

Meet your new favorite bass, the Lakland Darryl Jones Signature. This electric bass guitar is a real workhorse, designed to accommodate any playing style or musical genre. Whether you're a fingerstyle player looking for smooth low-end thump or a pick-slinging, hard-hitting player jamming out fast-paced metal bass lines, this bass has you covered.

Taking inspiration from the original custom bass commissioned by Darryl Jones himself back in 1985, the Lakland Darryl Jones Signature showcases a fusion of tradition and innovation. The model carefully balances classic bass sensibilities with modern advancements, resulting in a versatile instrument that delivers an absolutely epic range of usable bass sound.
