Description

The Lakland USA Series 44-94 is not just another electric bass; it's a masterclass in craftsmanship and sonic versatility, designed for the discerning musician. At its core, the swamp ash body and quilted maple top combine to offer a resonant tone with eye-catching aesthetics. Lakland’s dedication to quality is evident in its quartersawn maple neck, reinforced with graphite for unwavering stability, ensuring it stands strong against environmental changes.

Plug in, and the 44-94 unveils a world of sound possibilities. Featuring a dual pickup configuration with an MM humbucker and a J-style pickup, this bass delivers everything from smooth jazz tones to rock-solid thump. A 3-way mini-toggle switch provides coil-tapping options, while the blend knob and LH3 preamp with a 3-band EQ let you sculpt your sound with precision. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, you'll have the perfect tone at your fingertips, free from unwanted hum thanks to its silent operation pickups.

Beyond sound, the Lakland 44-94 shines in playability. Its 1.6-inch bone nut and 22 frets offer comfortable navigation across the fretboard, while Hipshot tuners guarantee that your tuning remains rock-solid during performances.
