Retro looks with new technology.
Marking Lakland's 10-year anniversary, the Decade bass came out in 1995, and was only available in the
high-end US Series until now. The Lakland Skyline Series Decade 4 bass is constructed with a mahogany body for solid, low
end tone, and dressed in a translucent "Cherry" Burgundy finish. For color contrast it has a black pick guard, and a black
headstock. It has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid blocks and white binding. Utilizing a special pickup design
from the Lakland/Hanson Pickups partnership, the all US-made "Chi-Sonic" pickups are now standard on the Skyline Decade 4
and help it perform like a serious rock bass should. These retro looking single coil pickups have an amazing full range quality
with lots of airy highs, large, focused low end, and a complex midrange that manages to keep the upper register notes really
punchy without darkening your sound. It also has 2 knobs for volume and one for tone control.
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.
