4 Strings

Bump again. The sale of this bass is to raise money for aid in the Palestinian West Bank, every penny.

Bump: Still here, needs to go. Price reduction to encourage sale.

Will try to get some indoor pics of this to better represent the lovely rich warmth of this colour.

Just (at last - Merry Christmas!) got to weigh this bass - it weighs in at 4.45kg.

This bass has now *SOLD* Thanks all for your interest, I'm very sad to see it go...

It does, but tbh, I'd have to say it's the Sire head looks like the old G&L!

You're going to start arguments with that! I think a lot has to do with expectation, the Fender head shape is so familiar any variation looks a little odd. (I think you can apply the same to sound too, albeit any variation from the Fender sound will be 'different').

Hi, Al, been away for the Cristmas break, back on earth, will reply by DM when I get organised!

This Wunkay weighs in at a solid 4.85kg. Balances nicely.

Thanks, fretmeister! Have to say though, while this is an unusual and pretty amazing colour and looks gorgeous, it's not the only thing that defines this bass. It's a lovely player too! (Hence the sale, it keeps saying 'play me!'

Great question, thanks fellas, should have put the weight in to start with, will do so in the morning.

Good luck! Price increases by 10% for each million you win!

Yep, the early ones are paddle shaped. Might have been a bit too similar to the Fender shape?

Thanks, Pete. I have to say the colour is more pinky/orangey/bronzey and less red than it looks in these photos, and, imo, set off beautifully by the sepia-ish scratch plate. This Bongo photo is better lit; https://reverb.com/item/63553271-ernie-ball-music-man-bongo-hh-4-string-2003-lava-pearl

Thanks for the love everyone, it has a couple of little nicks, and has def been out the house(!) but treated like a princess! Did you note the G&L 'birthmark' on the back of the headstock - the tiny dowel insert from the manufacturing process?
