Tone le Bone Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) [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.

Bernmeister Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited May 7, 2008 by Bernmeister
martthebass Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) 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.

NickThomas Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 That's the tastiest cherryburst I've seen in an awful long time !! Good luck with the sale she's a beauty!

aido43 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Thats a beauty--Ive a L2000 in black but thats the nicest G&L ive seen yet----Id have snapped it up but just got a Lakland 55-02----dont suppose youre interested in a Warwick Corvette Double Buck as a trade?

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. T le B.
aido43 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 If I can sell the Warwick Ill be back---good luck with sale its a great bass
Tone le Bone Posted May 11, 2008 Author Posted May 11, 2008 A weekend bumpety bump Otherwise its going to have to go on FleaBay
Golchen Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 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.
Sean Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 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!
