I had a quick play of this the other day while sorting out the sale post for my friend, and was surprised by how huge it sounded. A very powerful pickup, tight, full and loud. It also felt comfortable to play, the neck felt lovely.

I didn’t know that! Thanks

[Newfoundfreedom]

My word that looks tasty! 

 

Another great bass in my sweet price point. 

 

I wish the market here was anything like the UK (it's all massively overpriced crap here). Then again, maybe not. I wouldn't be able to move for basses. 😂

Steve's friend has just bought my Fender P bass, he might not be a member of BassChat, but he is a very genuine and honest person.

 

He came and collected the bass and we spent a couple of hours chatting all things bass, and a few other things too.

 

Deal with confidence. 👍

Makes me wish I was in the market for a 4 string StingRay / P Bass  cross

Bargain price - GLWTS!

If this was a fretless I’d be all over it. Oh, and a different colour. 5 string.

I 'think' this used to be mine.  G&L basses are hugely underrated and unjustly so.  Smaller than a P bass so light on the shoulder and the US pickup that is 'powerful' as in a bite from a shark is a bit 'nippy'.  Great basses and the build quality far outstrips the price point.

The detuner doesn't flap at all in drop D if its was mine/is the same as mine.

Thanks, that pick-up certainly is a beefcake and the detuner (which is rock-solid) is a really welcome addition. 

[TheGreek]

I agree how G&Ls punch much higher than their price point. I'm on my fourth - should never have sold any of the others.

 

A lot of bass for your money - you would have loved one of these as your first bass - still great basses as your 51st.
