TRADED - G&L ASAT bass USA £850

[claustra]

NOW TRADED

 

Hello,

Up for sale is this American made G&L ASAT bass from 2005/2007 (original invoice from 2007)

It is in excellent condition, with only the not uncommon little marks on the bottom (see pics), and set up with new DR Hi Beams.

This is basically an L2000 with a Fender Telecaster shaped body and a Jazz Bass / musicman Sterling neck proffile (38mm at nut) :

1 volume, 2 tones
3 switches :
- Active / active with high boost / passive 
- Series (fat bottom) / parallel (more sociable)
- Neck pickup / both / bridge pickup

This bass does a lot of things, sounds and plays pretty good.
I am selling it because I do not get used to the thin 38mm neck, I prefer the larger ones.

I am based in Northern France, but come once in a while to London and shipping is not a problem in the excellent original G&L hardshell case.
I have dealt with a few members here, no worries.

Shipping cost will depend on insurance, but would range from £25-£50
Paypal accepted, but the gentlemen do charge a lot and I prefer direct bank transfers or alternative solutions.

(here are the scratches at the bottom, notice how horrible the specs of dust look on this picture)

These are top notch basses, i’ve had a solid and a semi hollow version.

May help the folks out there if you post which number G&L neck it is and dimensions.

For the reports out there of neck dive, it’s overstated IMO

Thanks,

Neck dive is not a problem indeed, there are two factory-set up strap locks on the bottom of the bass to choose from (see pic with the scratches).

The neck on this one is the thin version : 38mm

[Cuzzie]

If this is the #8 neck, it’s one of the best on the market, really slim. If it’s the #12 it’s like a PJ and also decent

[claustra]

Not sure about this, I'll check.

[claustra]

The neck is (approx) 38mm at nut, 54mm at 12th fret and 62 at 21st fret.

What reference is that @Cuzzie ?

[Cuzzie]

It’s looking like a #6 or #8 jazz neck.

They are very nice, they are the usual ASAT specs.

Thanks for the details, you seem to know your ASAT specs !

[Cuzzie]

I had 2 ASATs and an L1500 and have played a #7,8 &12 neck

All different, all great, brilliantly made instruments, only reason I sold was to move to a fully passive bass, and have a pedal form my tone and not the nice Preamp, I am too simple for all those dials!

I still miss my ASAT’s though

Beautiful. I've had the semi hollow version with on the body edges. One of the prettiest basses i've owned.

Great bass indeed, and you don't see them often.
