lee650 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Holy cow!!!!! just checked out the G&L sound clips, thats an absolutely amazing sound, thanks for putting me onto these pete, i might end up selling my warwick after all, would love to try the all maple one, its got to be the one to have. all the best - lee In all seriousness, you won't be disappointed if you do. I'd not heard one myself either, til I heard a bass player who was gigging at the same venue as me. I thought it sounded fantastic, so I came home and started looking on the net. That same day, yorks5stringer was selling his. I couldn't believe the price they were selling for. It's now used as my main bass, ahead of my 91 Thumb 5 NT, Lakland JO5 and Fender Marcus Miller sig.

By 'heel width' do you mean from 'bass' side to 'treble' side, or from back of heel to the front of the fretboard. I've never been asked about heel width before!

Thanks[/quote] If it helps, the string spacing at the bridge is about 17mm, similar to a Stingray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if these figures will mean anything, and i measured then using a steel tape measure. The heel pocket looks about 70mm from bass side to treble side. The body wood is 25mm thick at the heel, and the neck wood (inc f/board) is also 25mm at the heel. Are these figures what you were after? I apologise if they're not. Thanks.

noisedude Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's unbelievable that this is still here when you think of the rate they were being snapped up a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's not a huge ammount cheaper that you can buy new off the 'net, but they're not what I'd call expensive new and I think any cheaper might be leaning towards giving it away. I'm tempted, but gotta play one first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You don't get them with hard cases new in this country unless you pay extra: £350 for an 'as new' seems a good price to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A G&L one?[/quote] Nothing that flash, I'm afraid. I was throwing the case in as part of the 'shipping deal' because it's mega-solid and will offer sweet protection whilst in transit. It's also pretty weighty. It's a black, oblong, ABS affair with a few stickers and if (IIRC) a bit of blue spray paint on it. If you wanted to clean it up it shouldn't be difficult. Structurally & fittings-wise it's A-OK. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spree Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks for the measurements guys, i was after the width of the heel opening, if that makes any sense to see if it would take a status neck. But the bass is too gorgeous to butcher methinks Random meandering bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
