gary mac Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) A stunning example of Leo Fender’s G&L P bass. It’s a proper U.S. model built in 2016 at the Fullerton, California plant. Hang tag, warranty card, certificate, spec sheet etc is included. Alder body. Finish is cherry burst. The three ply guard is more like the lovely old vintage looking tort. Saddle lock bridge. 9.5 radius dark Rosewood fret board. Bone nut. Width at the nut is 1.5/8th”. Frets are medium/jumbo and all seated and finished perfectly. G&L Alnico pick up G&L ultralite tuners. Weight is 9lb 12oz. Original hard-shell, black tolex case, which looks almost as new. This bass has not had a hard life, the first owner only used it at home, I’ve gigged it twice. Although I believe it left the factory, with round wound strings, the previous owner fitted a set of flats, so there is no fret wear. Condition is near perfect, with just a little swirling/signs of use to the pick guard. Lovely tight, neck pocket and with six securing screws, the neck/body joint is rock solid. I love this bass, it’s comfortable to play seated or standing, looks amazing and sounds great in a band setting. My reason for selling? Well a near miss last night, on a crowded stage, when our drummer knocked over a heavy cymbal stand, made me rethink gigging with a pristine instrument like this. I’m going to use my old G&L and a P bass that I built for myself, both of which sport war wounds and genuine road wear. Hopefully the photos will give a good indication of the condition. Anything that looks like a blemish or damage to the body finish, is purely down to my photography. Price is £950. I’m in Hoddesdon, Herts. Would really prefer collection but we can discuss shipping if necessary. Edited May 25, 2020 by gary mac 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Lovely basses these - I have a black and maple one and it’s my main gigging bass these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 As above, I have one and it sounds monster with flats or rounds, really woody tone and super comfortable to play. Hope it finds an appreciative home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaggyMan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Love US G & L had a Sb-2 and rather foolishly sold it. Got a Tribute Kiltoton now. G & L are really stealth basses, deserve more attention than they get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjv Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I once had CAR LB100. Great bass like G&L's are. I don't know why I sold it. Regrets. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 C'mon guys, I cannot believe this beauty is still available. Can someone please buy it? Otherwise, I have to do it and then have to explain to my wife why I had to buy yet another bass even though I will never have a career in music? 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I can't buy such a beautiful bass. I have one expensive (to me) instrument and I never use it for fear of damage. This is even more stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
