Is the green artwork on it removable? Lovely bass.

Yes that is removed. It was a Predator sticker. I’ve just put it up for sale. It’s a good one!

The G&L L2500 Tribute is one of the most versatile 5 string bass out there. They're difficult to find in the UK these day though as nobody stocks them.

 

Second hand ones do occasionally pop up from time to time.

A lovely natural one of these turned up on EBay earlier this week for not a lot of £.

 

I was just on my way out when I saw it and when I returned 30 mins later to buy it, it had gone 😞 Gutted.

I clocked it too.It sold within hours of being listed. That's how you price something to sell in my opinion,no messing about. I miss that about the secondhand market.

I've seen used basses online sitting about for months without any interest but some of the sellers won't seem to budge on price as a result. It's like a stand-off in a western movie.
