Lakland Introduces New Line of Custom Wound Pickups And Matching Preamp
January 20, 2006
Lakland is proud to introduce their new line of custom wound pickups and matching preamp (the LH3), available this spring for all -94 and -02 series basses. Featuring Alnico magnets, the pickups are made entirely in-house at the Lakland factory in Chicago, Ill.
"These new pickups and preamp indicate the next evolution in the Lakland product line," company President Dan Lakin said. "Other major manufacturers make their own pickups, which lend to their distinctive, defining voices. We realized the time was right for us to take this all-important next step as well," he continued.
The pickups will be available in humbucker configurations for both four and five-string Lakland basses. These pickup/preamp systems will be offered to existing Lakland owners as an upgrade. The price for this will be announced by April 1, 2006. Other brands of pickups will continue to be available on Lakland basses.
Lakland pickups and preamp are designed and manufactured in a joint venture between Lakland and Hanson Electronics. For more information, visit their web site at www.lakland.com.
