Blue Metal Flake G&L JB-2, $950 shipped

BKing · #1 10-05-2009, 08:03 AM

I received this bass about 2 months ago from Rocket Music (great, great place to deal with, btw) - custom ordered Blue Metal Flake G&L JB-2 with birdseye maple board and GOT neck. Weighs in just under 9lbs. Below is a link to the "new arrival" thread from Rocket Music, which contains pics. Since I originally ordered this bass in Feb., life changes (bigger family!!) have brought me to the point where I'm just not playing anymore . . . no time to 'cause family comes 1st. So, this bass has been played ONLY twice in my home since I got it. It's in pristine, like-new condition. I paid $1600 for it, but I'll let it go for $825 shipped, CONUS. Thanks for looking!

Is it ash or alder?

I requested light ash, but I haven't checked the neck pocket to confirm - I'll check that when I get home this evening. Thanks,

Finally got around to checking the neck pocket, and, to be honest, I can't tell what type of wood was used for it is. I assume its ash given that's what I requested, and G&L uses ash for all of their premier finishes. So, I feel pretty positive that its ash, but I can't visually confirm it.

Thanks,
