SOLD: G&L US M2500 in Black Ice Finish- £850 £950

[Old Horse Murphy]

I recently got this superb bass in a trade with our very own Hazbeen, but unfortunately my need for a 5 Stringer is no more and my preference for passive basses has won again

For sale is a 2012 G&L M2500 (not a Tribute model) in limited edition Black Ice (part of G&L's NENA, or Near Naked paint finish.

The bass was factory ordered with a Birdseye Maple FIngerboard (with an additional 21st Fret), a Carbon trussrod to improve both sustain and neck stability/no deadspots.

Despite the thin finish on the body, the bass is in excellent condition an in fact the only mark I can see is near the trussrod access hole at the headstock end where the trussrod tool has left some very small indentations.

It is light weight (I'd estimate around 8.5lbs) and has a superb B String. It really is a quality bass and very eye-catching.

It can be picked up from either Bristol (weekdays) or Woking (weekends). I'm looking for £850. No trades please

Some info from G&L:

G&L has unveiled a new line of instruments labeled the "Black Ice Collection". The new basses and guitars feature a "Black Ice" finish, which incorporates the company's Nearly Naked (NENA) finish with a sleek matte black base and silver highlights in the body's wood grain. Introduced last year, NENA is a super thin finish the company says promotes body resonance. The instruments come without a pickguard in order to show more of the body.
