goblin Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I've had this for a good few months now, and it's been a joy to own and play, but I ended up with Warwick lust again, and snapped up one I've always dreamed of, so sadly, I've not got the space (or money) to keep two, so I've got to let the G&L go. So the bass itself. It's a 1997 model CLF serial code, USA model in Blueburst, with chrome hardware. Sadly the previous owner lost the cert of authenticity, so date wise I'll be taking his word for it, but he's a trustworthy guy who knows his gear well! It's a solid Alder body, with a hard rock maple neck and fretboard. Passively, it sounds absolutely great, but given the amount of switch and knob configurations, there're so many sounds available from the preamp and pickups. The pups are all standard issue G&L Humbuckers, with their trick electrical circuit. The 3 knobs are volume, treble (cut) and bass (cut), and in passive I believe one of them becomes tone... The switches are pickup select (3 way), series / parallel (2 way) and then passive / active / active treble boost (3 way). The only real blemishes with it, which don't bother me given the age of it, are there are a couple of chips on a bottom left edge (covered by forearm when playing), but they're just before the burst, so should touch in without too much issue, and there's some buckle rash on the back. Other than that, the action is great (for my taste anyway), the neck is nice and fast, and also arrow straight. I'm after £800 for this beauty, and I'll really miss it, but I've got more outgoings than in at the moment too, so it needs to go. I'm based in Rochdale, Lancashire, but I'd be willing to meet someone with it within reasonable distance, or if you PM, we can discuss courier, but ideally, I'd prefer collection! It also comes with it's original hard case, which admittedly has seen better days, but still works!

goblin Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Cheers, bud. If I could afford to, I'd keep both of my 5s, but sadly I can't, and it's too good to keep as a backup. If someone wants to trade a Vintage Modified Jazz 5, with cash my way - that'd also be acceptable! Edited September 23, 2014 by goblin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
