Vintage Style, Modern Performance
Imagine holding in your hands a piece of history—an instrument that captures the essence of those early days of electric bass, yet brims with all the precision and playability that a modern musician demands. The Lakland Skyline 44-51 Electric Bass embodies just that; it is the bridge between the iconic past and the groundbreaking present. With its ash body and sleek, fretted maple neck, the 44-51 delivers that unmistakable vintage warmth, while the flawless Lakland fretwork ensures it plays as smoothly as any high-end modern bass.
Craftsmanship That Speaks Volumes
In every detail, the Lakland 44-51 Electric Bass showcases masterful craftsmanship. The flat-sawn rock maple neck provides a firm foundation, allowing each note to resonate with clarity and depth. Whether playing an intricate melody or laying down a solid groove, the Hipshot Ultralite tuners ensure the bass stays perfectly in tune without the bulk—even allowing for the optional Hipshot D-Tuner for those deep, rumbling drop notes. Lakland’s Split Coil NeoPunch Hum-Canceller pickup powers the instrument, combining vintage character with a whisper-quiet signal, making it a superb choice for any setting, from intimate practice rooms to the most demanding stage performances.
Tone at Your Fingertips
With only two controls—Volume and Tone—the 44-51 delivers a straightforward yet immensely versatile approach to shaping your sound. This bass is built to capture that raw, defined power that revolutionized music decades ago, yet it does so with finesse that is unmistakably Lakland. Whether you prefer the string-through-body setup or the through-bridge option, the Lakland Dual Access bridge lets you tailor your playing style to match your needs. The result is an instrument that is timeless yet innovative, providing a deeply satisfying playing experience for any bassist looking for that perfect blend of classic tone and modern reliability.
