Lakland

Lakland's basses never stop amazing us: the playability and tone are really something else. And for those who are not familiar with the Chicago based guitarcompany, here's a short intro; for many years now, Lakland is 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) and 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 a best bass at a lower pricepoint, 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 of Laklands own design USA hardware and pickups and where all instruments are being "pleck'ed" (computer-automated leveling of the frets).

Did Lakland re-invent the wheel you might ask? No they didn't...you'll mostly find the classic concepts of the iconic J, P and PJ basses...BUT SIMPLY REALLY WELL DONE! Every Lakland plays like butter and sounds amazing!
