Skyline Decade 4 Bass

Marking Lakland's 10-year anniversary, the Decade bass came out in 1995, and was only available in the high-end US Series until now. The Lakland Skyline Series Decade 4 bass is constructed with a mahogany body for solid, low end tone, and dressed in a translucent "Cherry" Burgundy finish. For color contrast it has a black pick guard, and a black headstock. It has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid blocks and white binding. Utilizing a special pickup design from the Lakland/Hanson Pickups partnership, the all US-made "Chi-Sonic" pickups are now standard on the Skyline Decade 4 and help it perform like a serious rock bass should. These retro looking single coil pickups have an amazing full range quality with lots of airy highs, large, focused low end, and a complex midrange that manages to keep the upper register notes really punchy without darkening your sound. It also has 2 knobs for volume and one for tone control.

Lakland luthiers now do their fret work using Plek technology to assure optimum playability. Plek is a CAD/CAM machine with scanning capability. It was developed to perform high-speed, highly accurate fret dressing, nut and bridge slotting and shaping, and engraving work. When used by an experienced luthier, the Plek machine produces necks with fretwork and action that equal the very best handwork and does it consistently. Case sold separately.
