It is a very nice instrument, Jazz like neck, lighter body than a fender, well balanced. The pickups on G & L are great, as is the hardware (love G & L bridges). In kinder times this would be staying put.

is this still available?

Weight is 3.8Kg, G & L's are slightly slimmer than Fenders

Hi Here is a rather unusual build I did for myself from parts from all over the place. First up is the through neck 'V11 guitars' body. Quilted facings, five piece laminate neck. The pre amp is an Audere Z unit. Pickups are Wilkinson. Machine heads are superb quality N.o.S Schallers, now out of production. When I chose the body/neck I decided on a hi mass bridge which meant dropping it into the deck of the body. The cavity is fully copper lined and the bass as a whole is tonally very wide ranging and quiet in terms of noise etc. Price reflects the cost of the parts only (in fact the schallers and the audere and pickups are worth the asking price..) Its not perfect but I have built it well, Its intonated pefectly and action is good. Few knocks and dints that came with the body (bankrupt stock i believe). Great project to take further ( i was considering routing out for humbuckers for example, or to drill through for the through body stringing that is already waiting on the bridge..) or it plays great as is. Balances well on the strap, currently strung with Fender Nickels. Width at nut: 45mm String spacing at bridge:18mm Scale length: 34" 24 frets Weight: 4.2 Kg Questions/queries welcomed, will ship using UPS insured, or meet and swap using safe distancing.

Bought new late last Year from Andertons here we have my G & L Kiloton in root beer translucent finish over a Mahogony body, with Maple neck. Additionally I have added a hipshot detuner. This is effectively new (few light scratches on the scratchplate). Spec is: CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on SCALE: 34" PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD™ Magnetic Field Design humbucker made in Fullerton, California NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Maple fingerboard NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 1/2" NECK RADIUS: 12" NECK PROFILE: medium C FRETS: 21 medium jumbo, nickel TUNING KEYS: Traditional open-back BRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock™ ELECTRONICS: 3-way series/split/parallel mini toggle, volume, tone This cost me £500 to buy plus the hipshot so £395 is a fair price i feel. Ungigged (cant think why....sighs) . These are lovely basses but as I have 12 last in first out i'm afraid. More to follow i suspect. Trade wise I would be interested in a Geddy Lee pedal if you've bought one and it wasnt for you plus some balance, or a sterling ray34.. Will ship using UPS insured (at buyers cost) or safe distance managed meet up.

wow thought is saw 1075 as the asking price...was a little surprised...and unobservant it appears.

Love US G & L had a Sb-2 and rather foolishly sold it. Got a Tribute Kiltoton now. G & L are really stealth basses, deserve more attention than they get.

pic links dont seem to work??

Same you aren't trading, beautiful beast of a bass, so well made.

i bloody love this and the newer x series of BB both the 5 string and four string , especially in white, i have owned both. Just fabulous instruments. The newer series after these doesn't look as classy as these do imho. GLWTS if i had cash or something to trade...sighs

Couple of things, yes the market is hard work, and a lot of folk dont know how good the fenix stuff was and that they had a hand in early squier production etc. A bit of spiel about that might helps move things along. I have a fenix jazz bass, excellent wish i still had it.

Looking straight trade of my Sandberg TM5 for a nice dingwall combustion 5 ( i had one and wel...miss it). Condition etc obviously a component of the deal. Anyone??? Nope cant do it. Just restrung her and she is singing her little heart out. WITHDRAWN. MAny thanks for anyone who considered this.. Admins please close.

ok PM me and we can do deal etc. Thanks!

I recently traded this lovely beast but cant afford to keep it, which is a real shame as I have a build in progress and need funds and parts. This is a superb example of the ibanez blazer, serial number gives it a birthday of March 1982 at the Terada factory in Japan. Build quality is excellent and is one of the best sounding and playing p basses that i have ever played. For a 38 year old bass condition its excellent. Bridge/truss rod are fully working, the bridge and controls are tarnished as you would expect. Around the body there are a few little marks but basically its in amazing condition. Fret wear is all but non existent. lacquer on all parts of the neck is excellent. There is a little bit of scratchplate lift but nothing out of the oridinary bearing in mind its vintage. A rare colour to. I cant recall ever seeing a blazer in sea foam green. Previous owner did some shielding, no noise at all, so good job well done there. Recently restrung, its a plug and play bass. Beautiful. Kicks butt to, very powerful. Happy to post to the UK, insured at buyers expense. Or meet up to exchange in the home counties sort of area. may PX (although cash needs to be involved somewhere). small portable bass cab (15"), I have a build in progress so decent five string bridge, a decent pre amp (aguilar, john east, glockenklang, Delano).

looks like my old bass..its lovely

All of the g & L's i have owned or played have been excellent, Kinds of even more sorted Fenders...which if you think about it makes sense..lol

G & L in general aren't mainstream and surprisingly so as they play great sound great and out perform guitars of 'similar heritage' in my experience. MFD pickups are great. I have a kiloton 4 string and that is a monster of a bass and its passive.

Damn it pulled the trigger on a brand new one from Andertons just before this came up. Great bass lots of presence and plays rerally well. GLWTS the market is on it butt atm

Ashdown 210 cab modified with two faital 10FH500 1000w 16ohms speaker. Wiring in cab for a tweeter although there isnt one atm. feet on bottom and side. Good alround condition, belter of a cab that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Pickup from Rochester, or meet halfway with some renumeration for coffe and petrol for yours truly. NOW SOLD

thanks wiill correct

I don't know what it is they do at Sandberg to 'age' their rather nice guitars but this is a corker. I am generally not a fan of the road worn look but this is just lovely. Looks and feels genuine.The dinks and rash etc are tasteful without utterly trashing the bass. Cool as a four letter word. feel, not so 'aged' as to look like its been attacked by a rather dirty handed nutter with a belt sander. A fantastic brute of a bass. Great tonal range from the single coil and MMan style Delano pickups and pre amp. Bass can be run passive or active (pull/push on the volume) the bridge humbucker can be run full on or single coil, giving you a single coils jazz pickup option. Sandberg don't do this pickup configuration anymore or use Delano so if this is your thing then here she is..... Turns out they do ..d'oh Anyway, Tonally just great. My first ever Sandberg and impressive isn't an adequate description, these are great. Sporting a relatively recent set of round wounds, fretboard and fret polish. I have baulked once.. but many bills to pay so downsizing is a must..so here we are again. Comes with ABS flightcase. Will ship anywhere in the UK, will consider other locations, all at buyers expense. Might PX (with cash adjustment as necessary )against Warwick Corvette, bongo or nice stingray PRICE drop £1050

Three TSB with black back. Active/passive switching, coil selection pickup seletion back/both/front. G & L MFD pickups, rosewood fretboard, frets in excellent shape, no buzzes. A couple of very fine dints nothing major , in very good condition. Has been my standby but dont seem to be playing any 5 string right now and just isn't getting the love, so new owner needed. If you have a warwick corvette to trade lets chat.
