nugget Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Gorgeous 5 string LAG bass from late 80’s, French hand made – NOT the later Jap version. Near mint, couple of very small marks. Active single coil EMGs. VERY clear precise sound with great tone, two volumes and one tone control. Narrow string spacing will suit those with smaller hands or changing from 4 string, I’ve always played a very wide neck 5 string and find it a little too narrow. more pictures available Edited July 27, 2009 by nugget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Lovely bass - love the colour/finish & I like narrow-spaced 5's. What value are you putting on it, Nugget? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff[/quote] Hi Geoff, It's my only bass and I gig most weeks so I was hoping to swap it so I wouldn't be without a bass and non of my local music shops stock any decent 5 strings! As for value, I'm not sure, don't see many around to gauge it. the build quality and finish is second to none and sounds amazing - open to offers I guess somewhere in the region I can pick up something else reasonable from here Vauge Nugget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed.[/quote] Ed, He did indeed. It is a fantastic Bass. Really easy to play and I actually think the narrow spacing helps, (hasn't hindered Stanley Clark and Mark King to name but 2). The only reason I sold it was to help finance an incoming Bass I had wanted for some time. Whoever springs for this won't be disappointed and no picture can show how beautiful the bass is in real life. I can vouch for Dave, he is a great guy to deal with.

nugget Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks BassBunny - BassBunny passed the bass on to me at an exceptional price for such a stunning bass, far less than i think its 'worth' which is why I'm nottrying to sell it, just px it. I really appreciate that BB!! The sound is one of the best I've ever heard (probably THE best) - it's so clear which allows me to wind up the bass eq up on the amp and get a lovely deep tone but still massively clear and cutting tone. I've only gigged it about 10 times but I get so many comments from other bass players and guitarists about the clarrity and depth of the sound. I just can't adjust to the narrow spacing on some of the faster more complicated songs we play so I'm looking for something in exchange thats going to sound great but I don't really care what the value of the replacement bass is and hence dont care (or more importantly know) what the value of the LAG is. I'm open to any offer from cheap bases with upgraded electronics to higher end jazz basses. As this is such an unusual bass it's hard to put a 'value' on it, the sound, build quality and materials used certainly make it equivalent value to the higher end jasses plus you've got the "wow never seen one of those before" factors.... Already had a couple of good offers but nothing that really floats my boat. Can delivery as I travel about a bit. Thanks all Nugget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
