This is a really sweet bass but immediately after purchasing it from a fellow TB'er my musical direction changed and it hasn't really seen any use.
It's a super-early G&L bass, an L1000 model from early 1981. It is in immaculate shape for it's age with only very minor wear. The body ash finished in a very dark trans-blue, the neck is rock maple, and the the fingerboard is either really dark rosewood, or ebony, I'm not sure which.. The neck has some pretty cool wavy figuring. It's all stock with all the original electronics, and it sounds HUGE! 3-bolt neck joint with micro-tilt, and a "bullet" trussrod. Lawsuit headstock shape. The pickup also has the slot-pole pieces, which were only used in '81 I think. The neck is perfect and the action is medium-low, set up with old flatwounds. There are no lines or dots on the board, but there are side dots at the fret positions (3, 5, 7, 9, and so on).
For a sale, I'd like to get $775 shipped.
With trades, I'm interested in Stingrays and various Fenders. 4's and 5's are cool. I'm also into Ampeg amps, and maybe some others too. Lastly, I'd also look at various Gibson Les Paul and Fender guitars, and possibly some guitar amps too.
