G&L Tribute Kiloton See Through Cherry over Mahogany £350 £350 Stourbridge

[Mykesbass]

Had this in a trade two years ago, and fabulous as it is, the poor thing hasn't been played, as no matter how many times I think I need another bass I ALWAYS go back to my Shuker, so this has been noodled on a couple of times and then just remained in a case.

 

I believe the see through cherry over mahogany was a limited run, and it looks really great. Previous owner, @BaggyMan has meticulously added a vinyl carbon fibre look wrap over the tort pickguard. I think it looks right on this bass but will easily peel off. 

 

There are a couple of tiny nobbles on the headstock, and a couple of faint surface scratches on the back - the one highlighting this was taken with a macro lens. 

 

Strung with barely played DR Hi-Beams for extra sparkle - my plan was to have something the complete opposite to my main 5 string, flatwound fretless. 

 

Collection from Stourbridge, or could meet up in West Midlands. Don't want to courier as I don't have a spare hard case.

Not really playing 4 stringers these days but I'd be tempted to buy this backif i was.  Excellent bass.
