Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe Bass Guitar - Translucent Purple with Ebony
5-string Electric Bass with Ash Body, Quilt Maple Top, Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, 1 Single-coil Pickup, 1 Humbucking Pickup, and Active Electronics
Lakland Boutique Quality for an Amazing Price!
Combining high-end features and eye-catching looks, the Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe simply exudes quality. It all starts with premium tonewoods: an ash body with a stunning quilt maple top, a flat-sawn maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard. Its electronics are top-shelf all the way, with a versatile pickup configuration and the same preamp as Lakland’s higher-priced USA Series basses. The result is the thump, punch, and drive that you’d expect from a boutique instrument. Beyond that, its satin neck feels great, and its deep cutaway provides exceptional access to the entire fingerboard. The Skyline 55-02 Deluxe delivers classic style, amazing tone, and modern performance.
Distinctive, comfortable Lakland body design
Lakland’s 55-02 Deluxe Skyline features a distinct and recognizable body shape with a gorgeous quilt maple top. The comfortable offset-waist design has great balance and feel. The 55-02 Deluxe even gives you the same custom-contoured curves, bridge, and pickups as the original US version. That’s why you’ll find 55-02 basses the driving force behind some of the biggest touring acts in the world. Balance, comfort, and great playability are all hallmarks of the 55-02 Deluxe.
Longer scale length for tight B-string tone
Bassists at Sweetwater especially like Lakland 5-string basses because their longer 35-inch scale length holds the low B string at a higher tension. This means that your lowest notes will have more punch and impact, with more note definition, too. If you’ve played a few 5-string bass guitars, you know that some of them can sound quite flubby in the lowest registers. With the Skyline 55-02 Deluxe, your tone will stay tight and pronounced right down to the low B.
Premium active electronics
No matter what style of music you play, the Lakland pickup system will give you every tone you could want. The Skyline 55-02 Deluxe sports the same amazing pickups and preamp found on (much more expensive) USA Series basses. These active electronics give your instrument serious punch, plus extra expression across the whole fingerboard. A dual-coil humbucking pickup in the bridge gives you fat, aggressive tones, while the J-style single-coil pickup in the neck position offers mellow, warm tones.
Ash and maple: an ideal bass tonewood combination
Beneath its remarkable duo of active pickups, the Lakland Skyline Series 55-02 Deluxe bass features the perfect combination of tonewoods, giving you a harmonically rich and hard-hitting sound like no other. What’s more, its smoothly contoured ash body makes the 55-02 Deluxe Skyline one of the most comfortable basses you’ll ever pick up, and its solid maple neck adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play.
Skyline Series: boutique quality at an affordable price
The Skyline 55-02 Deluxe gives you amazing quality for a great price. That’s because the Skyline 55-02 Deluxe, like all Skyline Series basses, is made overseas and finished in Lakland’s stateside shop. So regardless of where it was originally made, each Skyline 55-02 Deluxe passes through the hands of Lakland’s US luthiers long before it finds its way to you. And when you add to that the fact that your Skyline 55-02 Deluxe comes equipped with the same premium appointments as its US-made cousin — we’re talking pickups, hardware, flat-sawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement bars, and more — you know you’re getting an amazing deal!
