Lakland Basses
Discover the Skyline Series
Based in Chicago, Lakland has been crafting high-quality bass guitars since the mid '90s. They've since earned a reputation for impeccable tone and a fit and feel that is nearly perfect right out of the box. Over the years, Lakland has cultivated a diverse roster of artist endorsees, including Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones, Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, and Tetsuya, of Japanese rock mainstays L'Arc-en-Ciel.
The Skyline Series is the perfect entry point into the Lakland brand. These instruments are crafted overseas, then shipped to the US, where they undergo a comprehensive setup process. Pickup winding and installation, as well as the fret PLEK'ing process, is all done in Lakland's Chicago facility. Read on to learn more about each Lakland Skyline Series bass, and find the one that's best for you!
