Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Refined and powerful, this Lakland bass can shape shift its way through any gig. With a goldilocks 1.6" nut width giving you just a little more room than a skinny "jazz neck", a powerful 3-band preamp, and a 3-way splittable bridge humbucker, this truly versatile bass is a tone-seeker's delight. Offering supreme playability, picture perfect aesthetics, and tonal versatility to make anyone smile!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

The 44-02 has an active punch that will drive your sound clearly through any mix, with best in class tonality for a versatile and refined fit for any playing situation. The 44-02 doesn’t care if your gig is at a local tavern or the local arena. It pushes 100% pure tone every night.

The LH3 pickups (wound in our shop in Chicago) and onboard preamp are the same components you’ll find in our USA Series 44-94, powered by a single 9-volt battery that can be changed by removing a simple snap-on battery cover (no screws to lose!). Internal dipswitches let you select the midrange boost/cut frequency.

Neck profile is the Lakland 1.6” taper for fast and smooth playing and comfort.
