WELCOME HOME
It was 1994 when Lakland Basses was born in Chicago, Illinois from the collective
vision of three principals – a luthier and two musicians – who shared a common
goal of creating a new bass that would carry on the lineage of the great
American builders. Lakland provides bass guitars that combine elements
of the pioneering bass builders whose designs are the very definitions of
traditional style and ergonomics, with contemporary components to match
and surpass the playability of more esoteric basses that have entered the
market in recent years. Lakland bass guitars have a sound and feel that are at
once familiar and unique – any player who picks up a Lakland bass immediately
feels at home. Welcome home to Lakland Basses.
BASS DONE RIGHT
At Lakland, we concern ourselves with quality at every step of our
process. All Lakland bodies and necks are precision-machined from
the best pieces of tone wood to ensure that every instrument meets
our strict standards of excellence without variation from bass to bass.
The quality of our details comes from the tireless work of our Lakland
team – a group of musicians and craftsmen who understand what other
players are looking for.
Lakland Bass Guitars are among the market’s most well respected
instruments; favored by discerning players and professional artists
worldwide. The vintage comfort and contemporary ingenuity of our
basses deliver an unparalleled playing experience.
Since the introduction of our flagship models in the mid 1990’s, our
basses have been recognized for their superior tone, playability and
construction. At Lakland, we invest in innovation and set new benchmarks
for quality and versatility. We listen to the instruments and to the people
who play them. Anything we can do better, we will do best.
“I get invaluable feedback from our players when I ask
them, ‘What don’t you like about our basses?’ Once we
know that, we make better basses.” - Dan Lakin
