Pinball Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) [color=#3C3241]Back up for sale as it is too nice to drag around as a back-up. It has had a recent set up.[/color] [color=#3C3241]G&L arguably represented the pinnacle of Leo Fender's R&D. This is a great playing and sounding bass with plenty of thump. [/color] [color=#3C3241]This is my back up bass and is in superb condition for it's age. It has a couple of indentations in the body-great for a late 90's bass. [/color] [color=#3C3241]Note: The pervious owner made a reversible mod. : "I have fitted 5 machine screws into the through-body holes, secured with nuts and washers that sit flush in the ferrules on the rear. They are easily removed if you want to string through-body". [/color] [color=#3C3241]The bass sports one monstrous MFD (magnetic field design) pickup with adjustable pole pieces, a volume control, and passive treble and bass controls. There are also 2 switches: one selects series or parallel coils in the pickup; the other brings in the active circuit, which effectively takes the sound of the bass from vintage to modern. Current draw for the circuit is incredibly low - my batteries go out of date rather than running flat! [/color] [color=#3C3241]Any trial Welcome [/color] Trades? A nice quality short scale? [color=#3C3241]Thanks for looking.[/color] Edited October 31, 2017 by Pinball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That would be a well spent 650. Super basses, I don't see why this has not been snapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
