We labored over the design of this instrument to combine the leading edge of '60's technology (the slim neck and narrow nut, the offset-body balancing, and concentric control knobs) and applied today's leading edge technology (graphite reinforcement, enhanced neck joint, passive pickups by Lakland) to create a contemporary classic.
55-60
Also available in a 5-string version, this bass has the same "updated classic" tone as our original 44-60, but is combined with the modern design appointments that make our 5-strings work. You know what that means ....
More Definition Than A Dictionary!
35 inches! That's the scale length of the 55-60 and the reason all Lakland 5's sound so good, so low! When you talk about clarity, tautness and tone in regards to the low B, you're talking about our passion!
