GazWills Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I have been debating this decision for 2 months, since I first bought this bass! It is a gorgeous, custom order 2015 US made G&L LB100. 2-piece Alder body, 3 tone sunburst. The neck is a number 12, so it is 1 & 5/8 inches at the nut, same as the newer Us Fender P's. It is quartersawn maple with a rosewood fingerboard. Medium jumbo frets, pearl marker dots. Quick, smooth, plays really well. I don't have scales. It is not a heavy bass, but is slightly heavier than my (light) US Fender P. Bass is located in Bristol, the asking price is £50 less than I paid for it from Bassdirect, and I think it was a steal at that price, when you compare it to the spec of other basses out there. It is as new, in fantastic condition. Also comes with the G&L hard case, custom shop spec sheet, signed certificate of authenticity from Leo's wife, etc. [b]£950[/b] - Price doesn't include postage, would rather you pick up from Bristol, or arrange a meet, but not totally against posting. Pics below, they are not brilliant resolution, but hopefully do the bass justice! Edited August 22, 2016 by GazWills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 So that is where it went. I agonised over this when it was at Bass Direct and now I have to do it all over again. I don't really need a P bass having just bought an MJ-4, but then again... it's a G&L and looks a classic specification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazWills Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's mostly because what I really want is a custom shop fender, even if a fender may not be any better, I don't think I'll be happy until I have one. Not much logic to it. As I've not had it long or used it in a band, I don't (yet) have any emotional attachment to the G&L!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Fair enough, but it's a very lovely looking bass and you're a very naughty man for tempting me with it. And, just to make matters worse.... http://youtu.be/r6VIPCoJArg http://youtu.be/Vk96VlaynLA Edited July 28, 2016 by SICbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 yep - that second vid is something I watched a few weeks ago, makes me want to put flats on it, then I'll probably end up keeping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
