[center]1986 G&L SB1[/center] [center]Sunburst, Tort & Maple.[/center] [center][b]Priced dropped to just £695[/b][/center] [center]Leo Fender’s brilliant 1980’s take on the Precision bass.[/center] [center]I’ve been gigging my other 80’s Sb1 now for the last five years. I got this one a while back to take to gigs as a backup. It’s a bit of extravagance though, when I have a homebuilt P bass that I can use for that purpose, so to release some funds, it’s up for sale.[/center] [center]These SB1’s are brilliant gigging instruments. The magnetic field design pick ups are so powerful, much hotter and more aggressive than any other passive bass that I’ve gigged. You certainly won’t get buried in the mix with this bass.[/center] [center]The volume and tone controls really have an effect on the output and tone, giving plenty of variation.[/center] [center]As can be seen in the photos, it can’t be described as museum quality, it’s an instrument that has been gigged and has picked up wear and tear over the years.[/center] [center]No structural damage though and everything works the way it should.[/center] [center]The neck is nicely worn, smooth and fast.[/center] [center]The jumbo frets are still very good.[/center] [center]Details:[/center] [center]Weight 9lb 3oz[/center] [center]Width at nut 42 mm.[/center] [center]Fretboard is maple with a radius of 7.5”[/center] [center]Neck dated October 86[/center] [center]Body dated November 86[/center] [center]Original MFD pick up.[/center] [center]Original tuners and the substantial G&L saddle lock bridge.[/center] [center]The old headstock shape with Leo Fender signature decal.[/center] [center]The lovely tort pick guard is not original, although it is from Chandlers the G&L USA supplier.[/center] [center]A previous owner had installed an incorrect flimsy input jack, it can be seen in one of the photos below. I have since replaced it with a Switchcraft unit.[/center] [center]I’m not sure whether the pots are original, but they are good quality and function perfectly.[/center] [center]Strap buttons are G&L but probably not the originals to this instrument.[/center] [center]No shims required as this bass has the very efficient micro tilt adjustment system.[/center] [center]Currently wearing round wound DR Highbeam strings.[/center] [center]Price is £[s]725.00[/s] now £695.00 collected from my place in Herts.[/center] [center]If collecting I can supply a Warwick Gig Bag.[/center] [center]Or for a little extra a G&L hard case.[/center] [center]I would prefer collection but willing to post.[/center] [center]Posting options:[/center] [center]I can supply a G&L case for an extra £40.[/center] [center]It is not actually an SB1 case but quite a good fit. Externally, the case is scruffy, with a couple of the chrome domed feet missing. Internally it is very good and offers a high level of protection.[/center] [center]The courier fee for overnight delivery will be an additional £15.99.[/center] [center]Insurance is extra, please advise if you want insured shipping and I will get a quote.[/center] [center]If you don’t want the additional expense of the hardcase, I can still post, although I will detach the neck, bubble wrap everything and send via courier overnight, in a sturdy cardboard box at a cost of £15.99.[/center] [center]Once again insurance will be extra, please advise and I will get a quote.[/center] [center]Pics below.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/qN1Ngx"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/vMH44V"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wHSfUq"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/vMyNw5"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wK5TVi"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wHSF3f"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wGgGyb"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wGgUjf"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wrZbu3"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/vMzTcA"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/wJBchc"][/url][/center]
