bassmayhem Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) No - it's not Geddy's old; however, I bought it from the UK before Brexit (Those were the days) ... The condition is excellent, everything works, everything is original except for replaced wear'n tear parts in bridge/tuners, which are sold as original parts from https://www.headlessusa.com/bass-jaws I think Babicz is the maker of these... The old worn parts are included for those who are interested in such things. The detachable leg rest a memory from the previou- s L2 model - remains. The newer XL2's have that ugly hinge support permanently mounted. This one is called a "transition model", due to some DNA from the old L2 as well as from the XL2... String holder/adapter for single ball strings is included. The original bag remains and is in a condition like fly infested mummy; it can be used if you get a new zipper and are a little good at sewing. The bass also has an original Steinberger hardcase. ] Note that the tuners are at a bit of distance from the string holder / string jaw holder, due to use of washers in the new mechanics... I have checked prices on all XL2s that are for sale around the world and see that the average price of these is just over £3400, the condition not taken into account, and without considering any cost for shipping, customs and VAT. This one is in pristine condition, no dings and scratches, just a little black worn off on the string holder up on the neck. (Sharpie pen fixes it ...) Since the bass and I are in Sweden, I set the price to 30000 SEK (£2550 / 2950€) plus shipping. Since I bought it, I have spent about 4000 SEK (£340 / 400€) in renovation and extra accessories. Now open to partial trades! At least £1700 / 2000€ in cash! Serious bids are considered! Can be shipped at buyers expense. I use Wise (former TransferWise) - not PayPal, since they charge a LOT. Or bank transfer! My feedback page: Edited September 12, 2021 by bassmayhem 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Extraordinary basses, I have a 1986 model. I might have considered another one (they're only going to increase in value, after all) but Boris's Brexit Bonus adds about another £900 to the price! ☹️ GLWTS.

Cairobill Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) While I can't jump into buying this back right now (it's my old bass) I have to say it is a VERY nice one and in fantastic condition. Sounds absolutely stellar and has an incredible straight neck, low action etc Not only a modernist melding of art & design (ooh get you), it's a FANTASTIC bass GLWTS!

Cairobill Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) And the original gigbag has just the right amount of olfactory 80s studio funk. Legendary. Edited August 1, 2021 by Cairobill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
