LAG Sauvage BCE Natural Bas acustic

LAG Sauvage BCE — Eco-Friendly Acoustic-Electric Bass with StageLâg Electronics

The LAG Sauvage BCE is a jumbo-bodied acoustic-electric bass cutaway that brings Lâg's "Green Guitars" sustainability story to the low end. Built around an FSC-certified Pale BrankoWood top and smoked eucalyptus back and sides, this 4-string acoustic bass delivers the full, woody voice that fingerstyle and unplugged bass players look for, while the StageLâg preamp system keeps the signal polished for stage and studio use. The LAG Sauvage BCE ships with a padded gig bag and bronze bass strings, so it is ready to travel from the first unboxing.

Standout Features of the Sauvage BCE

What separates this model from typical acoustic basses is the use of tropicalized BrankoWood — a short-cycle pine treated with natural resins to control density and resist humidity swings — paired with smoked eucalyptus back and sides finished with a rough-sawn texture that skips the sanding stage entirely. The rounded back profile of the Sauvage series is engineered to project a fuller low end than a flat-back acoustic bass, and the iconic Lâg French Headstock ties the look back to the brand's heritage.

Body & Tonewoods — Acoustic Voice

The body is where the Sauvage BCE's character lives, and the tonewood choices reflect both acoustic performance and environmental responsibility. Pale BrankoWood on the top gives a stable, resonant surface, while smoked eucalyptus on the back and sides adds warmth and visual depth.

• Top: Pale BrankoWood — FSC-certified tropicalized pine top with controlled density for a balanced, resonant response
• Back & Sides: Smoked Eucalyptus Rough Sawn Finish — invasive-species tonewood with a raw sawn texture that reduces sanding waste
• Bridge: Black Brankowood — matches the fingerboard for a cohesive look and stable string transfer
• Finish: Satin — low-gloss coating that lets the body resonate freely

Neck & Playability — Built for Bass Players

An acoustic bass needs a neck that feels familiar to electric bass players, and the Sauvage BCE keeps the geometry close to standard bass territory. The Khaya neck sits in the mahogany family, offering a stable, comfortable grip for long sessions.

• Neck: Khaya — mahogany-family wood for a stable, playable feel
• Scale Length: 822 mm — long-scale bass tension for a defined, articulate low end
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable spacing for 4-string bass technique
• Fingerboard Radius: 350 mm — modern, slightly curved surface for smooth chord and lead work
• Frets: 20 Medium Silver Nickel — durable fret wire with a familiar playing feel
• Truss Rod: Dual Action — two-way adjustment for fine neck relief in changing climates

Electronics & Hardware — Stage-Ready Signal

The StageLâg preamp turns the Sauvage BCE into a performance instrument, with a control set that covers the most common stage adjustments without overcomplicating the layout. Die-cast tuners and a black graphite nut keep tuning stable through long sets.

• Pickup: Piezo — under-saddle transducer that captures the acoustic body's natural voice
• Preamp: StageLâg system — Volume, 3-Band EQ, Phase, Notch and built-in Tuner
• Tuning Machines: Die Cast — precise, stable tuning for live performance
• Nut: Black Graphite Wedge — self-lubricating nut that improves tuning stability
• Strings: Bronze Bass 40-95 — acoustic-bass gauge set for warm, woody tone
• Hardware: Black — understated finish that complements the natural body color

Who Is the Sauvage BCE For?

The LAG Sauvage BCE is the right choice for bass players who want an acoustic-electric bass that travels well, sounds full unplugged, and slots into a stage rig without extra gear. Singer-songwriters who need a warm, woody low end to anchor an acoustic set will appreciate the jumbo body's projection, while gigging players benefit from the cutaway for upper-fret melody lines and the StageLâg preamp for quick tone shaping between songs. Studio players looking for a sustainable alternative to traditional rosewood or mahogany basses will find the FSC-certified BrankoWood and smoked eucalyptus combination a credible, characterful option. Players stepping up from a beginner acoustic bass will also find the familiar 822 mm scale and 42 mm nut width easy to adapt to.

The Lâg Sauvage Story — Green Guitars Heritage

Lâg Guitars is a French guitar maker with more than four decades of history, and the Sauvage series sits at the heart of its Green Guitars initiative. By using FSC-certified BrankoWood, smoked eucalyptus from managed sources and an eco-friendly paint process, Lâg built the Sauvage line to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing the playability and tone the brand is known for. The series is named for its rugged, raw aesthetic — "sauvage" means wild in French — and the rough-sawn finish on the back and sides reflects that philosophy. Artists such as Phil Campbell of Motörhead have played Lâg instruments, and the iconic French Headstock design remains a signature touch across the range.
