[font="Verdana"][size=4][size=5][size=3][size=2][font="Verdana"]I have a G&L Cherry burst 5 string bass for sale which is in absolute mint condition. I am gutted, as this is probably one of the best looking basses I have ever seen and owned, but sadly I dont play, or do this bass justice any more. :) I play a Stingray in my band, and my 5 string G&L has become redundant, but rather than keep her in a guitar case hidden forever, I would rather see her being played. [/font]
[font="Verdana"]I will offer a discount to BASSCHAT members, this bass was recently advertised for £850 on Ebay. However I am willing to sell for £750.[/font][/size][size=3][/size][/size][/size][/size]

This is a USA, fully authenticated, with a certificate matching the serial number of the bass together with the original sale tickets, G&L brochures and G&L hard case. it has the most fantastic wood grain I have seen on a bass, and comes complete with a burred maple neck and HIPSHOT tuners. The allround tonal sound you get from this bass is absolutely fantastic.

Please feel free to try before you buy, this bass is mint!

Collection in person prefered. I am based in Surrey.

Oh she's a beauty identical to mine :)

Just noticed on mine that it doesn't have the hipshot tuners, but the G&L ones.

My serial no starts with CL0

This is God's way of tormenting me.

Had £750 and wanted a mint G & L L2500 - unfortunately 2/3 of cash blown last week on Ray's MIA Fretless Jazz. Bugger.............
MIA P bass and £250?
Never mind - maybe next time.

'Fraid not TleB, just got rid of the DJ5 and the Bob Glaub and kept the MIA Precision - there's a lesson in there somewhere.

Afraid not, I have been down the Warwick road, had a fantastic Streamer Stage1, which I loved, but again too mellow for my band. The best thing about playing is buying and selling and trying all these basses out to see what fits your sound and feel.
Good luck with your sale.

If you lived a bit closer I may have come and had a look. Too bad you're too far away. I'm 90% happy with my current bass, but still maybe looking for that extra 10% bass.

Stunning! :wub: I've never gassed for a G&L before and now you've changed all that. "Six bass rule" forbids any more though!

Im not trying to start a piccy war, just a bump from a G&L fan, my L25 is an amazing instrument, if you want a great 5'er then thats gotta be the one. BUMP. :)
