Sean Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) 1 Here's a nice example of an G&L Tribute JB1 in Lake Placid Blue that I bought for a project that didn't work out (we've all a few of those!). It's had fretwork (level and dress), a fret polish, a full set up and new strings. The pickups have quickfit solder-less connectors so you can change out the pickups easily. The cavity has been lined with copper and the fingerboard has been oiled with Crimson Guitars Fretboard Restorative (you should get some, it's lovely). It's a very good, great quality J bass built by Cortek in Indonesia. It's a cracking bass as it is and is also a superb platform for modding. The bridge is fantastic, its the full G&L design, loads of sustain and really easy to use. Weight is: 4.3kg, 9lb 10oz. Collection in Gloucester or meet somewhere or I can deliver if not too far.

Paddy777 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I like that system of remember what strings you’ve put on & when 😁 I’ve had one of these and they’re absolutely class - really liked the pickups in them too, much better than Sire/Squier etc at the same money for me 2 Quote
TheGreek Posted January 2 Posted January 2 In years gone by you would have laughed your head off to get a bass of this quality for this amount of money... Bargain waiting to be had!! 1 Quote
BaggyMan Posted Friday at 14:53 Posted Friday at 14:53 (edited) I love G & L basses, had i not been on a diet bass wise this would be a killer deal. The G & L hi mass bridge is a design classic and the necks are super slim if memory serves. Not the bass to climb over to get to a squier or Sire for sure. Take looks at Rithchie Kotzens 'riot' video' for a G&L J in action...(and a stupifyingly tricky bassline) Edited Friday at 14:54 by BaggyMan 1 Quote

Always make the effort when he's in the UK. Quote
