The Lakland DNA: The USA 44-94 Spirit, Ready for the Stage
The 44-02 carries forward the philosophy that made Lakland famous: a versatile bass designed to cover a wide range of situations without compromising definition. It features the same core components found in the USA 44-94 series, with LH3 pickups wound in Chicago and an integrated preamp powered by a 9V battery. The battery compartment with a snap-on cover simplifies daily maintenance, and internal switches allow you to adjust the mid boost/cut frequency to fine-tune your response according to your playing style and amplifier.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
This 4-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want a single instrument capable of doing it all: pop, rock, funk, gospel, fusion, variety, as well as more modern contexts where precision and attack are essential. Thanks to the blend and coil tap, you can quickly switch from a round, deep foundation to a more punchy and articulated sound, ideal for locking in the rhythm section or standing out in a dense mix.
The Sound
The combination of ash (body) and quilted maple top delivers a crisp attack, strong projection, and very clear definition, while the maple neck and maple fingerboard enhance precision and "snap" in the highs. The MM-J configuration is a true Swiss army knife: the humbucker-style bridge pickup provides body and impact, and its 3-position selector allows you to vary the character (more compact, more open, more incisive) depending on the chosen mode. The single coil pickup adds articulation and balance for more "traditional" tones. The active LH3 preamp (3-band) offers effective EQ to shape the lows, scoop or boost the mids, and adjust the brightness, with a master volume featuring a push/pull to bypass the tone control and achieve a more direct signal.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of the active electronics and playing dynamics, a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable and a comfortable strap are reliable choices. Also, have a spare 9V battery on hand to stay worry-free during rehearsals and on stage.
