***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

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 :)

Thanks Nick - yes that's the one; it's hard to do the finish justice in photographs, it's quite an unusual colour

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.

To my ears there's a really nice, growly sound to the bass... 😊

Totally subjective of course but it sounds great to me.

Cheers Nick, circumstances force the sale now, but I'm absolutely buying another in the future

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

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
