Now sold elsewhere.

Sorry I don't. I found it quite time-consuming to get background information on this one!

Thanks, they are really good. Not looked at a Fender J since buying this and it will cause me zero stress if nobody buys it

Now sold folks

Lag Collection Jazz Bass 1989 This bass is from a rare family. The Lag Collection basses were their flagship models back in the days when Lag was still a little French luthiers shop. These were high priced instruments with top specs. Sadly LAG were bankrupted in the mid to late nineties after a production moved to Asia. The new Lâg has nothing in common with the original Lag quality-wise. The Lâg name is still being used now on guitars and basses using an "^" accent over the "a" in an attempt to from the original Lag brand lustre. This bass is from an exquisite line of the original instruments from the late 80s to early 90s made with immense attention to detail. The bass is beautifully crafted and equally rewarding in sound - the Bartolini jazz bass pickups are a prominent feature of Lag basses and sound great. All the hardware is rock solid, as seen in the pictures the Gotoh tuners are made in Japan. There a few spider web dents on the back of the bass that I have tried to capture in the pictures, the bass has clearly been played not left in a case somewhere. Other than that it’s in extremely good condition. The bass is a nice manageable weight at 8lbs (3.6kgs) and comes with a good quality padded gig bag. Everything is original to my knowledge apart from two things: Firstly I have copper shelded the electronics cavity and secondly one of the circuit joints linking the bridge earth and circuit earth to the sleeve on the jack was quite ropey causing a little hum. I tried resoldering but not much better so I took a couple of cms off the wires and used a small piece of chocolate block instead. All good now. If you have any questions at all, or require additional pictures of any details please ask away and I give as comprehensive an answer as I am able. Spec.: · American Walnut body with matching headstock · Maple Neck · Rosewood fretboard (24 frets) with mother of pearl dot inlays · Bartolini single coils with classic volume/volume/tone electronics · Gotoh tuners + 3D adjustable bridge I would prefer to arrange some kind of delivery/collection/meet up if at all possible. I'm pretty flexible and willing to travel a bit if necessary. Courier would be the last resort and will be at cost to you. Here are some pics including a couple of catalog shots that I got from Lag when I was researching these basses:

Sorry, slow to update. Now sold.

A used, but good condition BadA55 II bridge with screws. Plenty of love for these in the world. Pic showing overall excellent condition. £75 delivered UK mainland

Not 100% sure tbh as the packaging was gone when I picked the bass up and the vendor was equally uncertain. Compared to my regular sets they don't feel to different so I'd guess at either the 40-100 or the 45-105s.

Per the title really. Had been newly fitted to a bass I bought last week but not my preferred string for this type of bass. £17 posted to UK mainland

All things considered that is quite a nice looking bass.

For sale a brand new and unopened set of Newtone Diamond nickel wound strings for a 5-string. Bought for a 35" scale bass but would be fine on a 34" scale too. Cost £33 plus P&P when I bought them, your for £27.50 in P&P to UK mainland

Even my '66P is some years out, but I couldn't afford anything older

Thanks for the info. most helpful.

Nice bass. Is there much of a difference between the Fender branded JVs and the Fender MIJ E series basses?

I had one of these for a while but with the scalloped headstock that I think came a bit later on the time line than this bass. Great instruments and very nicely put together as @Bassassin mentioned looks to be a great value purchase for somebody.
