Graham Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) ***price now £800.00*** It pains me to do this, as I have no desire to part with the best four string I've ever owned, but, I mostly play five strings now and my house needs work done to it US built in 1995 Under-size body, so lightweight - 4kg G&L's proprietary ceramic MFD pickups - these sound huge; with a rich, clear, high output Jazz width neck Bolt-on with microtilt adjustment G&L Saddle-lock bridge Alder/rosewood Rare colour - "midnight blue swirl" Controls are volume/volume; there's no tone control but I never missed it - the two volumes interact more than you'd think Original hardshell case - this is a bit battered, but it is 23 years old Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection from Eastbourne BN20, though I'm regularly in East Grinstead and Crowborough so could arrange to meet up near one of those too; alternatively I can pack it for transport if you want to book a courier. Any questions, or if you want photos from any other angles, give me a shout Would trade for sorting out my bathroom, or replacing the floor in my hallway, but not for bass gear I'm afraid Edited November 14, 2018 by Graham 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Cracking bass, G&Ls are pure quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 SB2 = My favourite bass. Mine wears flats and sounds amazing. I love the colour of this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Think this one was on sale at the South East Bash last week... If so, it's absolutely lovely when you see it close up! GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLWTS Thanks Nick - yes that's the one; it's hard to do the finish justice in photographs, it's quite an unusual colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubster Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Mine is going nowhere! Controls, or lack thereof, do tend to freak people out but once learned - wow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I recorded a quick demo of this yesterday Whilst blaming it on the boogie: First time both pickups on full Second neck pickup solo'd Third bridge pickup solo'd general noodling and NIB are varying degrees pickup volumes The signal chain is bass/EBS HD350/EBS Neo 2x12, on the head the compressor was switched off and the EQ bypassed. I wasn't planning on staring at the camera like it spilled my pint, but I only had time for one take. Also, apologies for the slap, I don't know what came over me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 To my ears there's a really nice, growly sound to the bass... 😊 Totally subjective of course but it sounds great to me. GLWTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 It sounds great to me. Volume on 75%, favouring the front pup, with flats you get my favourite tone. I have a solo album coming out in a couple of weeks featuring my SB2. If this hasn't sold I'll put up a link. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 If anyone wanted to try this, I will be in Southampton this Sunday (22/10) and in Leeds between 02/11 and 04/11 so if that's closer to home we could arrange to meet. For the Leeds weekend, I'll be driving up Friday and back Sunday from Eastbourne, so could divert along the way if you live off the M23/M25/M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
