QR Code Link to This Post
With a pair of Lakland Chi Sonic single-coil pickups and Plek computerized fret leveling, the Lakland Skyline J Sonic 5-string electric bass guitar delivers rich tone and impressive playability. The Plek treatment ensures every fret is leveled equally, creating an optimal setup with no string buzzing or dead notes across the entire fretboard. The Vintage J neck profile plays fast and smooth, while Hipshot Ultralight tuning machines provide exceptional tuning stability.
Lakland Vintage Wound single-coil pickups deliver clear tone with tons of definition
From tubby neck tones that are perfect for R&B to sizzling, aggressive, rock-style attack back at the bridge, the Lakland Skyline J Sonic gives you an epic range of usable bass sound. That's thanks to its pair of Lakland Chi Sonic single-coil pickups. These single-coil bass pickups give the Skyline J Sonic the kind of low-end clarity you'd expect from a classic J Bass, but with added bite and top-end definition. That makes the Skyline J Sonic a great bass for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.
Ash and maple — an ideal bass tone wood combination
Beneath its pickups, the Lakland Skyline J Sonic bass features the perfect combination of tone woods, giving you a harmonically rich and hard-hitting sound like no other. Its smoothly contoured ash body makes the Skyline J Sonic one of the most comfortable basses you'll ever pick up, and its solid maple neck adds extra punch and sustain to every note you play.
Classic body design
Lakland's Skyline J Sonic has a classic and recognizable body shape, and Sweetwater is sure you'll find it comfortable even over long gigs or sessions. The offset waist design has great balance and feel. The Skyline J Sonic even gives you the same custom-contoured curves and bridge as the original US version.
