MacDaddy Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 bargain! what's the saying - [i]if it looks too good to be true, it probably is[/i]? hope is the curse of the human classes. Quote
BassBunny Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 [quote name='Machines' post='40163' date='Aug 1 2007, 07:41 PM']Looks about right price for a Tribute.[/quote] According to tha Ad it isn't a Tribute, it's a genuine American one with Certificate of Authenticity. Spoke to the guy, but there is someone going to see it at 8:30 tonight. Quote
smokyflipps Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Yeah, I spoke to him also. Lets hope its still for sale later on. Seems too cheap though.

smokyflipps Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Just phoned him again as agreed. It has gone. Not a surprise at all. He could have got a whole lot more for it. Well there is some lucky owner out there. [quote name='BassBunny' post='40198' date='Aug 1 2007, 08:45 PM']Agreed, if it is still For Sale, there must be something up....[/quote] Quote
smokyflipps Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Well done. I was in the middle of working out when I was going to get down there and see it, then find out its sold. Still, I hope you enjoy it. Photos, would be interested to see some, but it would make me even more sad......(must be quicker, must be quicker!!) If you find you don't like it after all.... Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) It's a bit orange and need a good clean, new strings and a service but it feels really nice. Really played in. Here's a pic to appease/encourage some GAS. Edit: there was no case which was a shame, but all the paperwork. And the nice guy selling it also did me a deal on top of the quoted price.

Geddys nose Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 Maple neck Luurvly great looking bass that.Si Quote
smokyflipps Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 That looks good. Why did he sell it so cheap? I'm sure at that price you could make allowances for no case. Enjoy. Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I think he just wanted it out of the way and wanted some cash. He said since getting a Ken Smith a year ago, he hasn't touched it. He's a pro who tours a lot and I guess basses become more like tools, you get a bit more emotionally detached than those of use who use them at weekends for a hobby. It's six years old. Quote
aido43 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Great bass --Ive a L2000 with maple neck/board--huge variety of tones. Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Ooh. Black and maple. Nice. Can't say I'd choose the colour of my new one but it's ok. Had my eye on Blueburst. Quote
aido43 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 The Blue sunburst is a lovely colour---yours seems very bright orange though that could be photo---you got a great bargain at that price. I find G&L are very underated in UK---the tones and bodywork are fantastic . Quote

Nice to see it went to a BCer and if he did a deal as well, what can I say. Enjoy. Stuart Quote
