ped Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Hi folks G&L SB-1 from 1991. Has some nice wear to it - but all cleaned up and with incredible low action. Neck is dead straight and truss rod works well. Currently wearing Labella flats (760FX) but will also come with a set of D'addario Cobalt Flats which have been on for 10 minutes. Beautiful sounding P bass - the MFD pickup jus sings and the tone control can take you from vintage thump to snappy sizzle. When I bought it the shielding was poor so it's been fully reshielded and a new jack installed so it's now quiet as a mouse. Collection only from York or nearby (can deliver to a reasonable distance of halfway point). No case but can include a brand new Fusion Urban Gig Bag (black) for an extra £120. Any questions please let me know - there's a clip of it here (played with Cobalt Flats) Cheers ped https://soundcloud.com/chris-hiscocks/cams-jam 14
hooky_lowdown Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 What????? You can't get rid of the SB1 - you'll regret it! 😥 3
silverfoxnik Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 That's such a cool bass @ped, And it sounds fantastic (to my ears at least).. Didn't this used to belong to @gareth, or have I got that wrong.. Anyway, its fab, mojo-rich bass so have a BUMP on me! GLWTS 😊

Love the wear down to the wood on the body - proof that the bass has been used rather than hung on someone’s wall Try another passive G&L Ped Maybe an L1000 or an L100 1
ped Posted March 14, 2020 Author Posted March 14, 2020 No but Gareth sold one recently, a sunburst one. I bought this from Chicago Music Exchange. Back to one bass for me. I’m definitely a one bass guy but always enjoy trying others now and then for fun. Someone will be very happy with this bass. Along with the Smith I sold recently it’ll hopefully go on to make glorious music with someone else. As long as you don’t play punk with it or I’ll take it back. 1 1
CameronJ Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Such a cool bass! I’m honoured to have had that sound clip named after me 2
ikay Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Lovely bass. Out of curiosity, why is one of the pole pieces covered with a strip of black tape?
ash Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) To stop the magnet ‘popping’ against the bottom E when you dig in I reckon. My Precision does that. Edited March 15, 2020 by ash
ped Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Yeah that’s it. I’ve removed it now, but can include it if you like 🤪 Let me know if you want any particular pics!

ClassicVibes Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 You know with G&L you are getting a quality instrument.
ped Posted May 23, 2020 Author Posted May 23, 2020 Hi folks I haven’t been pushing this due to meet up restrictions recently and I’m not in any rush but now that meeting within reason is possible then I’ll just bump it to say it’s still available if you can travel to York to collect. Postage may become an option but not for the foreseeable. Thanks ped
ped Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 Reduced to £900 collected or met somewhere within an hour ish of York! 2

ped Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 Just now, Ariston said: Can you shipp to France ? France isn't 1hr from York unless you charter a jet for me 1

What is the one bass that survives this and your Smith, if we may ask?!!! 😄
