Not sure what the actual rod is made of but they feature two graphite reinforcement bars running alongside the rod - https://www.lakland.com/tech.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But £550 is a bargain price if it's anything like as good as my 2008 passive Skyline Decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameslf Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 From Brian at Lakland while we use a traditional steel truss rod in our skylines, there are no reinforcement bars.Our US made basses, on the other hand, use graphite reinforcement bars in the neck.

totorbass Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Oh, yes I meant bars, not rods, sorry. Thanks for your answer, I see that some skyline models have these bars like 55-01's etc. but not the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
