Lakland Skyline Series 44-64 Custom PJ Electric Bass Black
The Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom PJ delivers the balanced playability and tonal versatility of a dual-pickup P/J configuration in a refined four-string package. This bass sits comfortably in your hands with a responsive neck and focused midrange character that cuts through without sacrificing definition. Built to Lakland's exacting standards, it's equally at home in a studio, on a stage, or in the hands of a working musician who demands reliable performance.
Playability & Build
The flat-sawn maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard provides a stable, responsive playing surface with a classic feel. A 1.5" J-style neck taper and 34" scale length offer familiar ergonomics and string tension that appeal to players transitioning from or familiar with Fender designs, while the solid ash body delivers structural integrity and tonal clarity that defines the Lakland character.
Tone & Electronics
The custom-wound P-style split-coil pickup at the neck generates the full, woody fundamentals associated with precision bass tone, while the J-style single-coil bridge pickup captures articulate high-end detail and snap. This passive dual-pickup setup gives you tonal range from warm, vocal low-mids to aggressive presence without the complexity of active circuitry—a straightforward approach that rewards technique and touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The 1.5-inch J-style neck taper and 34-inch scale length are designed with familiar Fender ergonomics in mind, making the transition smooth for players already comfortable with those instruments.
What tone should I expect from the P/J pickup configuration?
The neck P-style pickup delivers full, woody fundamentals with warm low-mids, while the bridge J-style pickup adds articulate high-end detail and snap. Blending them gives you tonal range from smooth and vocal to aggressive and present, all through passive controls that reward your playing touch.
What genres and playing styles does this bass serve best?
It excels in funk, rock, studio sessions, and live performance. The focused midrange and balanced tonal character work across these styles, though it is not designed for extended-range or heavily dropped tunings.
Is active electronics included, or does it have passive circuitry?
This bass features passive electronics only—no active preamp or batteries. The straightforward design emphasizes the quality of the pickups and your technique, without the maintenance or coloration that active circuits introduce.
What materials make up the body and neck?
The body is solid ash, which provides structural integrity and tonal clarity. The neck is flat-sawn maple with a rosewood fingerboard, offering a stable, responsive playing surface with classic feel and pearl block inlays with abalone accents.
