Shawman Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Good day ladies & gents really want to keep a hold of this but i'm really looking to fund something else just now and this gets the least playing time (purely because it's strung E-C and i'm too lazy to change it) Hand made in France in 1984 before the company was whisked off to Korea for production - active EMG jazz pickups, lovely maple top and 16mm string spacing - it really is a wonderful bass in good condition with the odd wee knock which is to be expected from a bass from '84. Also the hardware is gold but this has all but worn off the bridge and knobs, the rest still looks nice and gold looking for £300 + courier (but would MUCH, MUCH, MUCH prefer either collection or i could possibly deliver) any questions, please feel free to give me a shout - hope Dave doesn't mind me using his pics, i'm happy to take more if requested Edited September 27, 2012 by Shawman

Shawman Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 cheers thought i'd just add as well, the Mrs and me are driving down to Wiltshire on or around 29th Oct so could possibly arrange a meetup
Shawman Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) ooft to be honest pal, i have nae idea. it's not what i would call "light" anyway - just compared it to my Schecter Hellraiser 5 and it's a wee bit heavier than that...but i can't find how much that weighs online will keep looking edit - a review states the Schecter weighs 13lbs, so i would estimate the LAG at around 14/15lbs tops Edited September 27, 2012 by Shawman
lee650 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I remember reading a ( favourable) review of one of these, many years ago, a very interesting looking bass- good luck with the sale, the price is certainly very good.
Schnozzalee Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I'm sure it wouldn't weigh as much as 15lbs, I had a six string made of entirely maple weighing in at 14lbs. I remember seeing this bass elsewhere and the top is simply stunning, if you ever needed inspiration to play the timber on this would do it for you!
Shawman Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks guys I'll see if I can get some scales and get a definite answer
Shawman Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 wee bump not been able to get an exact weight yet, sorry!
lucatus Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Had a Lag myself a few years ago and although it seems to me it was from a "lower" series, it was a great instrument nevertheless, and I always wanted to try more stuff from them! Have a free bump on me!
Shawman Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 thanks very much! got some scales now - weighed it a few times so i'll use the highest reading (of 4 or 5) to make sure there are no nasty surprises - came in between 13 and 13.2lbs hope this helps
BassBunny Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Pretty sure this used to be mine and is one hell of a bass. Pics do not do it justice it looks much better in the flesh.
