A very nice example of an Indonesian Cortek-made G&L L-2000 Tribute that has had some pro modifications. It's trans-blue sunburst ash body and has really nice figuring. It also has the sunburst on both sides, whereas the later ones don't. The neck on these is similar to a modern P. A fantastical versatile instrument that has some very useful pro mods. The original pre-amp has been replaced by a John East MMSR unit and the switching has been modified. It has upgraded tuners. The originals have been replaced with good quality GB500 units that are an upgrade from the originals. It's had a lot of neck work that was done by John Shuker including; replacement Black Tusq nut, full fret dress and set up. All electrical work was also done by John and the switching is as follows: Three-way pickup selector (Neck/Middle/Bridge). Pickup Switching Selector: Up Position = Both Pickups in Series, Mid Position = Inner Coils in Parallel, Down Position = Both Pickups in Parallel Active/Passive Note: The mid position on switch 2 gives an "almost Stingray" sound that gives the bass an extra voice and has been one I've used a lot. In that mid position the pickup selector can be used to give single coil neck, both, single coil bridge options. Great bass and I'm selling just to get some space as I've had a recent addition. From the John East website: The MMSR 3 Knob 3 Band has been designed with characteristics very similar to the original MM Stingray? 2 Band EQ, in order to retain the same interaction between the MM pickup and the electronics, crucial in creating the original pre EB sound colours. The Bass and Treble are stacked which allows inclusion of a Mid Sweep, along with original MM style bass and treble using a 3 knob plate. When the Mid boost/cut is centred, its effect is neutral and the EQ is purely late 70s MM style. This week this bass has had a full set up, fret polish and deep clean for the sale and is fitted with new Rotosound 45-105 Nickel strings. Condition is very good. Weight is: 4.4kg Collection in Gloucester or meet somewhere or I can deliver if not too far. Also, happy to ship.

A Seymour Duncan Vintage Hot PJ set that I’ve for a while. I always meant to put them in my Valenti but am more than happy with what it’s got. I don’t want to split the pair. Lots of tails left and the J has the original box. SD Website says: P - If you are a fan of P-bass tone but need a little more push, the Hot P-Bass pickup gives you a the tonal and output burst you need. Built similarly to our Vintage model, the Hot for P-Bass uses a custom high output coil winding for increased low-end response and a fuller sound. What exactly does that mean? Basically your P-Bass just got a whole lot better. Its aggressive attack makes it a great pickup for heavier musical styles. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Hot for P-Bass pickup uses hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, forbon flatwork, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation. Comes with black cover. J - For this pickup we used the classic jazz tone foundation and added some punch. These pickups are voiced a little lower than a traditional jazz, with a hotter output and fuller low end than the original, giving you boom without too much top end sizzle. The hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, and custom coil wind deliver a warmer, fatter Jazz Bass tone with a lower midrange growl. The more aggressive attack from these pickups make them great for all things rock. The neck pickup is wound RWRP so that it will hum-cancel when used together with the bridge pickup. These pickups are drop-in replacements for any American Standard Jazz Bass. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Hot for Jazz Bass pickups use hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, forbon flatwork, and are wax potted for squeal free operation. Both pickups come with black logo covers. Collect from Gloucester or I’m happy to post Royal Mail tracked at buyers expense.

/ An Ibanez TMB30 Short Scale bass in Ivory. It definitely punches above its weight and a great instrument from Cortek in Indonesia. It's super versatile, sounds epic, cuts through the mix and is all standard sizes, so can be upgraded with standard size aftermarket pickups, bridges, tuners etc. if that floats yer boat. It's had a fret dress and level so it plays beautifully, its fret polished, set up medium-low and has new strings for the sale. The plastic is still on the pick guard and pickups! Weight is: 3.8kg Collection in Gloucester or meet somewhere or I can deliver if not too far.

Here's a nice example of an G&L Tribute JB1 in Lake Placid Blue that I bought for a project that didn't work out (we've all a few of those!). It's had fretwork (level and dress), a fret polish, a full set up and new strings. The pickups have quickfit solder-less connectors so you can change out the pickups easily. The cavity has been lined with copper and the fingerboard has been oiled with Crimson Guitars Fretboard Restorative (you should get some, it's lovely). This is a lot of bass for under 300 notes. I'm selling to create space for something else very different. It's a very good, great quality J bass built by Cortek in Indonesia. It's a cracking bass as it is and is also a superb platform for modding. The bridge is fantastic, it's the full G&L design, loads of sustain and really easy to use. The back of the neck has been sanded a bit, this can be seen in the photos. Weight is: 4.3kg. Happy to courier, I've lots of proper packing. Collection in Gloucester or meet somewhere or I can deliver if not too far. If you have any questions, want more pics etc, please let me know. As far as trades go it'll be a quality 1x10 (cash adjustment if required) or anything Squier that can be sold on. Rescue jobs also considered as I am a trained guitar tech.
