Famous Lakland quality at an affordable price.

It provides thumpin' bass tone through an MM pickup in the bridge position and a traditional-style single-coil pickup at the neck. The MM has a coil splitter to maximize tonal range. The neck is quarter-sawn maple and features graphite reinforcement bars and a maple fretboard. The body is made of swamp ash. Hipshot UltraLight tuners. 35" scale. Lakland Dual Access bridge. Controls include cut and boost; 3-band EQ; panning-style pickup blend; master volume (with pullout for preamp bypass); and 3-way, bridge-pickup coil-tap toggle. Includes hardshell case.

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.

Probably the best 5

I bought my Lakland 55-94 Deluxe in teal burst from a mate of mine. Also owning a MusicMan Stingray 5 & Fender Marcus Miller Jazz 5, this is in my opinion one of the best 5's available today. This baby honestly changed the way I play, you only need the lightest touch to achieve some of the phatest tones I have heard. I used the 55-94 at a large concert (where I was the house bassist) with one of the worlds best sound guys, pumping through state of the art L-Acoustic line array speakers. The sound guy was blown away by the sound, he couldn't believe how consistent the bass was changing from note to note, while maintaining a phat, clear & detailed sound. Almost for got to mention - this bass has a 35" scale, resulting in HUGE sustain & the most tightest & focused B string ever realized. Not to mention the tonal versatility. I could go on forever about this bass, but I won't! Would be very surprised is anyone was disappointed with this bass. Check out the awesome Jackie Clark on YouTube grooving the 55-94 by checking the first hit when searching "angie stone live in amsterdam"

Still a pipe dream

I actually own a Skyline 44-02, but walked into a local music store and there in the high middle sat a teal burst 55-94. Holding it felt amazing, nothing like the 44-02 or any other 5-string I've played. I hooked up to an Ampeg SVT4pro and 810 classic. I didn't even touch the head, just the bass eq. The tone was so warm it could melt butter. If you have the money, try it, buy it... you won't regret it.

Bootyliscious

I've owned the deluxe 55-94 for a year now, and man, have I put it to the test in gig situations. It was perfect out of the box--perfect setup, fit and finish, exquisite woods, and some of the nicest birdseye and quilt maple I've ever seen. The Lakland and Hipshot hardware are top-notch, and the active Barts are very well matched to the woods. All eq points are useful and clean, and the pickups have high output and really deliver the tone. In a gig setting, the bass proves rigorous yet elegant, and does all the Leo Fender tones with zest, yet has a tone all its own with the pickups at center detent and the both coils of the humbucker on. I would recommend this bass to any live and/or session players looking for an axe that does it all and does it well.

Hi I've been playing bass for 30 yrs. I've never had a bass that is as versital as my 55-94 lakland. You get a very good J-bass sound, Musicman, And it seems to have a sound of its own.Ilove the neck ,string spacing and the overall feel of this bass is better than a lot of basses out there today. I own a ken smith, a fender jazz bass, but now I like playing this lakland because of it being so versital. It has a mean b-string, great for slapping, fingering, whatever you want to do you can do it with a lakland. EXCELLENT BASS. By the way I am a gospel bass player, and you can praise Him on this instrument. JOHN
