SOLD: £240 - Cheap li’l G&L ASAT/Tele/Schecter Baron bass copy £325 Dumfries and Galloway

[PunkPonyPrincess]

Price includes EU shipping. 
Weight is 5.2kg - too heavy for me now. 
Partial to offers/trades  but not Basses. I’m downsizing.

This isn’t one of my builds but a bass I impulse bought in Seattle in 2015 and lugged back to Scotland. Its a copy of a G&L ASAT but with a proper G&L heavy bridge. Its pretty in all black, vintage thick gloss finish and Pearl binding.

I was going to fit a Kickass 4 bridge, rehape the headstock (to a Telecaster), remove the decal, make it more like a Fender/ASAT/Schecter Baron Tele Bass — hybrid but I never bothered & left it untouched. It plays great with a really gnarly punk tone. I would keep it but I really dont need the number of basses I own. I simply want to get back to two.

Pots are vol/vol/tone: 
Neck is long-scale Maple
Truss adjustment at headstock
21 x jumbo frets. (Feels like a C profile, quite agile).
42mm at nut
The Fingerboard is a hard rosewood or ebonite
Neck is bolted on with stainless steel bolts
Wilkinson Tuners
The neck has pearlite bindings and the body has a matching pearlite binding.

The Body has a Fender neck pocket, looks like mahogany with ash top and back. 
Ibanez Bass Pickups (look like Ibanez PFR N4/B4s unlike Alnico — but possible, it has quite a high output)
It has no dents but it has small paint scratches  between the rear pickup and the middle control pot and on the back top, easy to fix..(highlighted  in pix.)
Its a live playing bass. One to go nuts with. Nothing too fancy or foo foo.

This is not a G&L ASAT but that bridge is a proper G&L Bridge.

It’ll come custom-crated with a fresh set of rotosound roundwounds.

I think it would make a good basis for a modding bass or a gift or a standby or as an all rounder.  If no one buys it I will donate it, but I have a few bitsas in progress already while i empty my bits box. 

Here’s a shot of me with it live.

Perhaps overpriced at £325.

£250? There you go.

Lovely looking thing - I wish I could justify an impulse buy...

That was the primary reason why I bought it. Gotta look the part.

Just a fabulous looking bass. I'm sure it will sell before I'm solvent again, sadly

I've got you booked in bassbuyers anonymous on Monday!

BTW: I don’t ship in cardboard and bubble wrap but I make custom packing crates for each and every bass i sell which you can reuse, repurpose or dismantle or sell  *your* bass to make room for this one in. You may want to get a screwdriver (even screws can be saved and reused).
