In the interests of full disclosure, I recently received a Fender Roadworn Jazz in a trade, and while it's a cracking bass, it's not as good as this. Why is this one on the block you ask? It's a proper jazz neck, and the RW is chunkier, and as I'm more of a P bass man nowadays, the RW fits my hands better. The Lakland has the edge everywhere else I think, but as with my esteemed colleague, I'm trying to cut down on basses. If I can get a 55-02 the RW will probably go also.
