ead Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Found this lurking around th nether regions of evilbay. Couldn't find masses about these on line but it was made in 1989 in France, American Walnut Body, Maple neck and rather nice 24 fret Rosewood board. Bartolini p/ups and passive V/V/T electronics. Altogether a very nice 24 fret J bass, 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Very smart. Ibanez meets Fender in shape. Good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The Lag Collection basses were their flagship models back in the days when Lag was still a little luthiers shop. These were high priced instruments with top specs. Sadly Lag bankrupted in the mid to late nineties after a production delocation in Asia. The new Lâg has nothing in common with the original Lag quality wise. Some clever guy named Michel Chavaria, who was the guy that started it all, just put an "^" on the "a", using original Lag brand lustre.

ead Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thanks for the info, very helpful. I think this bass predates the accented A judging by the decal on the headstock. I've had the neck off and both neck and body are stamped 1989. It certainly seems very well made with nice quality woods and hardware. Details like the finish on the frets being of good quality too.
