Description
Experience the perfect blend of vintage elegance and modern versatility with the Lakland Skyline 55-60. This exceptional 5-string bass is crafted for those who crave the timeless sound of the early '60s with the added depth of a low-B string. The Skyline 55-60 is expertly designed to deliver a growling, scooped tone that's ideal for a wide range of musical styles. Whether you're laying down a funky groove or driving the rhythm in a rock band, this bass provides a dynamic range of tones, thanks to its pair of Vintage J single-coil pickups and dual volume controls.
The solid ash body and maple neck not only ensure a robust build but also enhance the bass's sonic punch and sustain. With its smoothly contoured body and offset waist, comfort is a given, making long gigs or recording sessions a breeze. The dual-access bridge gives you the flexibility to either top-load or string through the body, allowing for personalized string tension and playability.
Proudly part of the Skyline series, this bass combines affordability with quality craftsmanship. Each instrument is meticulously finished in Lakland's US shop, ensuring that it meets the highest standards.
