FS: buncha G&Ls - shakin' it up sale

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey Y'all,

Not like I'm not in a constant enough state of flux but I'm feeling the need to shake things up more than usual. I've got 6 basses and two of those are off limits right now but even though I'm a big fan of the other four, some have got to go. I've got a new G&L exactly to my prefs on order so some have got to go. And I can't pick and choose between them so I'll put all four on the block and see what goes and what stays (if any - I could live with just 2 until my order gets completed and then decide what's next).

So here they are:



This is my Tribute "CB-3". It's a Tribby SB2 with a DiMarzio Will Power neck pickup added. Controls are vol/vol/vol/tone with extra tone switch that applies to the neck humbucker only (stole the idea from the Yamaha Billy Sheehan bass).
$645 shipped in the contiguous 48


pic of blueburst SB2

Beautiful SB-2 in blueburst with a very figured maple board and neck. Slim satin 1.5" nut width neck and reasonable 9.2lbs weight. Great SB2 tone and so new to me that it's still vol/vol. Hardshell case and COA. A chip on the point of the headstock and a few marks on the bottom edge of the body (same edge/area as the strap button).
$775 shipped in the contiguous 48 *** SOLD ***


link to pic of SB1

Gorgeous SB-1 in burst/maple (you be the judge of whether you think it's tobacco burst with no red or 3-tone burst with red) that could be a sibling of the blueburst SB-2 as the fretboard and neck is a great figured maple as well. Also a 1.5" nut width slim satin neck. About 9lbs even. Not much wear at all and a hardshell case included.
$775 shipped in the contiguous 48 *** SOLD ***





One of a kind semihollow JB2 prototype. Fullerton red with a rosewood board. As is usual for me a 1.5" nut width neck with satin finish. Nice and light at 8.2lbs. While I think the f-hole gives it a really classy look and probably contributes to the light weight it sounds like a JB2 to me (the same thing I read about the ASAT SH - sounds the same as the solid body ASAT). Not that that's a bad thing, mind you and it is one of a kind. Hardshell case and COA for this one. Excellent condition.
$850 shipped in the contiguous 48



OK, that's the lot. Potential trades:

- fretless G&L (1.5" nut width, satin neck, 9lbs or less and prefer L2K but will consider all)
- fretted US G&L L2K (1.5" nut width, satin neck, 9lbs or less)
- Carvin BR12 combo

I'm to the point where I think I'm ready to buy a couple of new G&Ls that are exactly what I want and call it good (famous last words ).

I did some sound clips a while back, don't really remember how good they are: Music page of CAB Fare - MP3 music page on SoundClick

It adds a lot of tonal versatility like you'd expect (especially if you've tried a BB714BS). The mudbucker alone can give some of that woofy 60s/70s sound, I really like it mixed with the P and there are some unique tones (that didn't work for me, but then again I'm not even a big J-bass fan so my taste is, well my taste) with the neck bucker and the J pickup. I find it to be lots of fun (I really like all four of these basses - I can't pick between them for what stays and what goes).

I was also asked for more pics of the blueburst SB2 so here are some

Curious to know what you ordered?
I've always wanted an SB2 with vintage frets and a birdseye board. I'd make it a V/T for each pickup as well.

I've come to the conclusion that an L2K with K wiring gives me everything I need (and then some) so I ordered a new L2K with my favorite options (K wiring, #8 neck, no face dots, matching headstock) in my current fave color (spanish copper metallic) in my favorite wood combination (alder/rosewood). I had the dealer beg for light weight and I've got my fingers crossed.

Nice specs Craig. Looking forward hearing how it turns out, and pics of course!

Thanks Erik, I was thinking of you as I'm learning a Trevor Hall/Matisyahu tune (Unity) for next month. There will always be pictures.

That said someone was having trouble with the pics of my modified Tribby SB2 so I'll attach a couple.

Two down, one or two more to go. I had closed this down but upon reflection I need a G&L fretless to complete the main lineup (solidbody, semihollow, fretless) with maximum comfort -- and that probably means ordering one after my L2K order arrives.

Rather than do price drops I'll just say prices are negotiable (but I'm not in any great hurry or need to sell so I can be patient)

I would probably go for a US L2K (see details in OP). It would mean both of these would have to go but c'est la vie. I'm also really digging my little Carvin BR12 combo and wouldn't mind another (to pull out the BX120 equivalent head and use as an extension cab).
