- Description:
There’s a reason the Lakland Skyline 55-02 Custom has become a go-to bass for working players everywhere — it just flat-out delivers.
This Custom version takes everything players already love about the Skyline 55-02 and adds some seriously classy visual touches with unique finishes, matching headstocks, and premium fingerboard options that make these stand out the second you open the case.
But this bass is way more than looks.
The 35” scale neck gives the low B string the kind of tight, punchy clarity that 5-string players are always chasing, while the Lakland hand-wound LH3 pickups and onboard preamp give you a huge range of usable tones. Whether you’re playing gospel, funk, rock, country, fusion, or modern worship stuff, this bass sits perfectly in the mix without fighting for space.
One thing we really love about the 55-02 is how balanced and comfortable it feels. Lakland absolutely nailed the neck profile and string spacing on these, and you can tell this design came from real players who actually gig with their instruments night after night.
The onboard active electronics are powerful without being complicated, and the internal dip switches let you fine-tune the midrange response if you like to really dial your sound in. Plus, the battery swap is quick and painless — no tiny screws to lose on a dark stage.
The Skyline series has earned a reputation for offering serious pro-level performance without jumping into custom shop pricing, and the 55-02 Custom is one of those basses that tends to surprise people the second they plug in.
If you’ve been looking for a versatile 5-string that can cover basically anything while still feeling refined and inspiring to play, this one’s absolutely worth your attention.
