Used Lakland Skyline 44-01 Deluxe Bass Guitar - Spalted Maple with Black Hardware

Lakland Skyline 44-01 Deluxe Bass Guitar - Spalted Maple with Black Hardware

Here at Palen Music Center, we're excited to offer the Lakland Skyline 44-01 Deluxe, a bass that brings professional-grade features and stunning looks to a remarkably accessible price point. The core of this incredible tone machine starts with the classic Lakland body shape, built from high-quality ash for a resonant and balanced foundation. Topped with an exotic spalted maple veneer, this bass is a true eye-catcher that also adds a subtle snap to the overall sonic character. Whether you're laying down thick grooves in the studio or commanding the stage, this bass delivers the visual appeal and tonal versatility you need.

The electronics package is where the Skyline 44-01 truly shines. Loaded with a pair of renowned Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soap bar pickups, you get an articulate, hum-free, and full-bodied tone. These are paired with an active Bartolini MK-1 3-band buffered preamp, giving you immense control over your sound. With this setup, you can effortlessly dial in everything from the punchy, modern clarity favored by contemporary players to the warm, round tones perfect for classic fingerstyle—all without losing the essential Lakland sonic signature. While this particular model is a fantastic modern workhorse, the general Lakland reputation has been cemented by legendary players like Geezer Butler and Tim Commerford, showcasing the brand's potential for high-performance and reliable tone.

The playability is another key highlight. The fast and smooth maple neck features a comfortable 34" scale length and Lakland's 1.6" tapered profile, making it a dream for bassists who move quickly across the fretboard. From intricate jazz lines to hard-hitting rock patterns, the 44-01 Deluxe offers a welcoming feel that encourages long playing sessions. It's an all-around attractive package that delivers versatility and premium features, making it a perfect addition to any Palen Music Center customer's arsenal.
