Lakland's Skyline basses have never stopped amazing us: the playabillity, tone and level of finishing and detail realy are something else at this pricepoint.
And for those who are not familiar with the Chicago based Lakland yet, here a shot intro; for many years, Lakland has been the choice for the biggest players in the game. To name a few; Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Adam Clayton (U2), Nate Mendel (Foo Fighters), Ben Kenny (Incubus) en Tim Commerford (Rage Against The Machine).
The USA basses are one-off, fully handmade tone-machines, but for those who are on a smaller budget and in search of an great bass nontheless, the bang for a buck are Lakland's Skyline basses; built to Lakland USA specs in Indonesia and finished by Lakland in Chicago where final assembly is done for Laklands own design USA hardware and pickups and where all instruments are being "pleck'ed" (computer automized leveling of the frets).
The 44/5501 en 44/5502 models are Lakland's own design basses and have active pickups on board. 44 or 55 specifies the amount of strings (4 or 5...), 01 or 02 specifies the model of which the 02 is the luxurious choise. That being said, the 01 as the "entry-level" bass is one heck of an instrument with great specs and the same flawless playabillity as the basses a bit higher up the latter. The differences between the 01 and 02 model are the pickups, pre-amps and finishing.
Here we have the 4401 that features two bartolini splitcoil soapbars and a Bartoline MK1 pre-amp (active / passive switchable), ash body, maple neck with a maple fingerboard and 1.6" nutwidth, 34" scale, 10" radius, Hipshot tuners and Lakland USA Dual Access bridge.
Please note; Skyline's come without a gigbag or case!
