Classic Style, Unparalleled Tone
Imagine holding the Lakland 55-60 "Vintage J" Electric Bass in your hands. Its design draws inspiration from the golden era of bass guitars—the iconic look and sound of the '60s, reborn with a modern twist. The ash body and flat-sawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement bars create the perfect balance between resonance and stability, and, as you play, you can't help but notice the distinctively rich, yet tight low end that this 35" scale neck produces. With every note you pluck, the bass whispers tales of vintage perfection, reminding you of those classic tracks that first made you fall in love with the sound of the bass guitar.
Craftsmanship That Connects with the Player
The moment your fingers glide across the fingerboard, you begin to truly appreciate the quality that the Lakland 55-60 delivers. The neck is crafted from a combination of buttery smooth maple and Indian laurel, and the craftsmanship is apparent from every angle. Hipshot Ultralite tuners allow you to adjust your tuning with precision, while the aged white pickguard adds a visual touch that is as timeless as the tones you can produce. As you move your fingers over the Lakland Dual Access bridge, designed for string-through-body or through-bridge options, you realize the flexibility it offers, empowering you to craft your own distinct playing experience.
Effortless Versatility with Classic Controls
Lakland's Vintage J single-coil pickups are the heart and soul of this bass, delivering that unmistakable warmth and depth—passive, organic, and full of character. The Volume/Volume/Tone controls are just what a true vintage enthusiast dreams of. They’re simple, and yet incredibly effective, giving you that classic tone-shaping control without unnecessary complications. The sound is raw yet refined, always dynamic and clear, allowing you to seamlessly transition between the punchy growl of a mid-heavy slap and the smooth thump of vintage R&B grooves.
Step into the Groove with Confidence
Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Lakland 55-60 "Vintage J" brings an air of reliability and unmistakable charisma to your performance. Its familiar weight and authentic tones allow you to connect not only with the music you play but also with those listening—bringing the energy, the groove, and the magic with every note. This is more than just an instrument; it's a trusted companion that will be with you throughout your musical journey. Play the Lakland 55-60, and you won’t just hear the difference—you’ll feel it.
