G&L Jazz(Custom Silver Flake) and Musicman Stingray Classic 5 string

Sign in to disble this ad
Up for sale only are 2 beautiful basses. I love both of them but after practicing with them for a while I have discovered that they are just a little too heavy for me. I am returning to my cover band this weekend after a 6 month leave of absence to battle cancer. Fortunately for me I am in remission and my outlook is good. But alas my days of playing 9 1/2 to 10 pound basses are over. I need to take it easy on myself from now on so I have bought all new light weight equipment and all my basses now have to be under 9 lbs.

I have chance to buy a used Sadowsky Will Lee from a local TB'er that is the nice light jazz bass that I need as a back up to my Lakland 55 94. So these two basses listed have to go to help pay for it.

First up is a totally custom G&L Jazz bass. I bought this new from Jim at Atlanta Bass Gallery a couple of months ago. He told me that the G&L company told him that this is the one and only G&L Jazz bass that will ever be made without a pickguard. It also has an incredible amount of nice options on it. Here they are:

Silver Flake finish with matching headstock
Birdseye maple fingerboard
Quarter sawn neck that's nice and stable
Vintage frets. The action on this bass is so low.
Stainless steel fret wire
Gloss neck with vintage tint
Crome Bell Cover for the neck pickup(not mounted)
OHSC with all paperwork
I have a hipshot d-tuner installed on it that comes with the bass

This jazz bass sounds amazing. From funk to fingerstyle it covers it all. It balances nice and weighs 9.5 pounds.
This bass cost me well over $2,000.00 new.

$1,550.00 shipped in the CONUS. Price is FIRM!

No trades

The second bass for sale is a 2011 Musicman Stingray Classic 5. Here are it's specs:

Black with birdseye maple neck and fingerboard.
String through the body
Volume, Bass and Treble controls
10 pounds
34" scale
17 mm spacing
Strung with DR Low Riders 130-45
OHSC with all the case candy

This is one of the nicest Stingray Classic 5's I have owned. It has nice low action. Very even across the board on the pickup output. No weak D and G string on this one. I got this from AMS and it came right from the factory. It was never opened until I opened it. Black ones are getting hard to find.

SOLD!


No international shipping on either bass.

Payment can be made via Paypal or U.S. Postal Money Order Only.

I do reserve the right to pull this ad and change my mind about either bass if the purchuse of the Will Lee falls through.

Thanks for checking them out. I will post a link with more pictures of the basses later today.

Glad to hear you're in remission! Really wish you were looking for a trade. I've got an 8.6 lbs Valenti I'd love to swap for that SR5. Free bump though....and again, really glad to hear that you're in remission.

That G&L is sick. Actually both those basses are sick.

And by sick, I mean, well, that's how the kids say awesome, right?

Wow---that GNL IS sick! But glad to hear you are getting better. Keep fighting the good fight. I think that bass should belong to Bootsy!

Don't worry about it Tim. Thanks for the kind words. Bump for the day. The Stingray might be sold. I will let all know if it is.

I've never owned an SR Classic but every other Music Man I've owned has been top notch, so I'm sure this one is as well. I have owned a G&L JB and will say that it is the best 4 string Jazz on the market right now. IMO

Good luck with the sale and congrats in your fight with cancer!
