The Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones DJ-4 is the signature bass of one of the most-recorded bassists alive — the touring four-string of choice for Miles Davis, Sting, Madonna, and The Rolling Stones over four decades of stage and studio work. Built on a Swamp Ash body with a flat-sawn maple neck and Indian Laurel fingerboard with pearl block inlays and white binding, the DJ-4 carries more dramatic body curves and deeper cutaways than the standard 44-60, giving the bass a more vintage silhouette and exceptional upper-fret access. A pair of Lakland's hand-wound passive Vintage J single coils — designed specifically for Darryl — deliver punchy, articulate single-coil tone with the headroom and dynamic range that demanding stage work requires. Lakland Dual Access bridge for through-body or through-bridge stringing, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and Lake Placid Blue finish with matching headstock complete a serious working bass with the timeless aesthetic Jones brought to records like 'Voodoo Lounge' and 'A Bigger Bang.'
