{"product_id":"lakland-skyline-5-string-55-01-w-hard-case-2007","title":"Lakland 2007 Skyline 55-01 5-String Bass Natural Excellent","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLakland has been building serious basses in Chicago since 1994, and the Skyline series represents the company's offshore production line.  These are Korean-built instruments that apply Lakland's design philosophy and quality control to a more accessible price point without abandoning the specifications that make Lakland basses genuinely different from the standard Fender-derived alternatives. The 55-01 is the five-string entry point into the Skyline lineup, and it is built around two specifications that set it apart from most production five-strings: the 35\" scale length and the Lakland Dual Access bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 35\" scale is the defining tonal specification for the 55-01. The additional scale length increases string tension across all five strings, which on a B string specifically produces the tight, focused, piano-like low B character that 34\" scale five-strings consistently struggle to achieve. String tension at 35\" keeps the B string sounding like a note rather than a loosely vibrating rope — a practical and audible difference that players who have played both scale lengths consistently describe as immediately and unmistakably different for the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Lakland Dual Access bridge allows stringing through the body or through the bridge — two distinct tonal options from the same instrument, with body-through stringing adding sustain and low-end warmth and bridge-through providing a slightly brighter, more immediate attack. The Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soapbar pickups provide the hum-cancelling character and warm, detailed tone that Bartolini is known for in the bass pickup world, driven by the five-knob active preamp — volume, blend, treble, mid, and bass — for comprehensive tonal shaping. Hipshot Licensed Ultralight tuners keep the headstock weight in check on a 35\" five-string that could otherwise become neck-heavy. Flat-sawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement bars for dimensional stability, 10\"-12\" compound radius maple fingerboard, 22 frets, 1-3\/4\" nut. Action set at 3\/32\" on the first string and 4\/32\" on the fifth at the twelfth fret. At 9 lbs 6.5 oz this is a well-balanced five-string. Non-original generic hardshell case in excellent condition included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWe set the bass up, which worked out easily and perfectly, and added a new set of strings.  This bass is good to go!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9lbs 6.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: none\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Length: 19-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Bout: 13-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Bout: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 1-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: yes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Flat-sawn Maple with Graphite reinforcement bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .8045\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness At 12th Fret: .9285\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction 5th String At 12th Fret: 4\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Screws Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Material: maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 10\" -
