Custom Lakland 44-60 fretless W lines

Guitar World's Bass Guitar Magazine, 2005 
"The neck is the smoothest I've ever laid hands on..."

"When the plain, nondescript and brown-wrapped package from Chicago landed on my doorstep, I had no idea I was in for a real treat..."

Bass Player Magazine, February 1999
"Close inspection of our test bass revealed finicky attention to detail..."

We labored over the design of this instrument to combine the leading edge of '60's technology (the slim neck and narrow nut, the offset-body balancing, and concentric control knobs) and applied today's leading edge technology (graphite reinforcement, enhanced neck joint, passive pickups by Lakland) to create a contemporary classic.

The Skyline 44-60/55-60 is manufactured to the same specifications as our US-made 44-60/55-60 bass and outfitted with the same passively delicious Lakland J-style pickups. The Lakland pickups replicate vintage bass tones as well as we've ever heard and players love the comfy taper of the 44-60/55-60 neck.
