SOLD: G&L L-2500 Custom 5 string bass: SOLD £775

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a recently acquired 1996 G&L L2500 USA Custom bass in Clear Orange over a flat swamp ash cap with cream body binding. I will learn one day that 5 strings really aren't for me!

The neck has a lovely figure to it, and is a nice shallow shape. It's in superb condition with only a few small marks on the rear of the bass near the bottom edge. Other than that it's in great nick. Weight-wise I would guess at around 9lbs. Action is low and the neck is lovely

The pickups sound huge and the preamp gives as many sound options as you're likely to need!

It also includes the G&L Case which is in reasonable condition (one of the feet is missing) and all the paperwork including the Certificate of authenticity. It has also just been strung with a set of DR Sunbeams. It has also just been set up this week to achieve a nice low action.

I will add some more pictures later. Price is £710

I've advertised this elsewhere too for a fair amount more Would consider trades for a Little Martin LXMe or similar plus £400 cash, a MM Stingray 4 string, a new series Fender USA Jazz with rosewood board, Lakland Joe Osborn with rosewood board, or Fender USA 75 reissue Jazz or Fender USA 62 reissue P bass

Do you have incredibly high action, or is it the picture?

[Old Horse Murphy]

It's the picture. Since then its been set up with a lower action as well

Those are actually the photographs I took just after I got the instrument, before it'd been set up for me, and before Nick got it.

Bump for new lower price. I'm not going to go any lower than this

I can travel

I'm a bit surprised too. It's a gorgeous bass but I really need a 4 string backup at the moment
