A Skyline Inspired by the USA Series 55-60 Reference

The Skyline Series 55-60 "Vintage J" captures the spirit of the 55-60 USA with iconic Lakland technical choices, starting with the 35" / 889 mm neck which has greatly contributed to the brand's reputation on 5-string basses. It also features vintage-style J-type passive pickups designed to deliver precise and musical response, from fingerstyle to pick playing.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

This 5-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking true "J Bass" versatility with a well-defined B string. It excels in funk, groove, pop, rock, neo-soul, jazz, and any situation where you want to quickly switch from a warm, round tone to a snappy, articulate sound via blending the two volumes.

The Sound

The combination of a ash body and maple neck/fretboard provides a clear attack, good projection, and pronounced note definition, particularly useful on a 5-string. The two Lakland Vintage J single-coil pickups deliver a very expressive palette: neck pickup for a full, woody low end; bridge pickup for bite and precision; and both together for a typically "vintage" balance. The passive electronics and Volume/Volume/Tone configuration facilitate nuanced control without altering the instrument's natural character.
