This is a 5 String Lakland Skyline. I got this as a travel bass for traveling around the country. The airlines can be brutal on you gear so I got this as a cheap alternative. It's a 55-01 Korean made model. It's basically the lowest price 5 string they make. But don't let that fool you. This bass is awesome and is quickly becoming one of my favs. You can visit them at http://www.lakland.com.
