USA made, Mid 90's G&L SB-2 Good condition. Some scratches and player wear but still looks good. Functionally in excellent condition. Custom made bone nut, old Gator hardshell case. $575 + shipping firm. Unique, hard to find finish, no longer produced.

Whats the weight? How are the frets? Any deadspots?

Dude...why are you selling this? SB2's are hands down my favorite basses thus far...they just kill.

It's a great bass, but I just got a new Lakland Darryl Jones 4-string and I have to let something go. The DJ4 is it for me. It was a tough decision, because the SB-2 is so cool, but it doesn't get much play.

On my non-digital bathroom scale it weighs 8 LBS, it's very light it may actually be less.

I can detect no deadspots, all the notes ring the same all on strings and frets.

I can detect no fret ware, just rub marks.

The truss rod is functional according to the used store i bought it from. The neck similar to a Jazz bass neck. 1.5" at the nut, C shape, a little thicker than a Jazz bass.

The body wood is Alder I'm pretty sure only because it is so light. Other than that I don't have a way to tell.

I would like payment via PayPal. Shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 will be $35 packed well and insured.

...and last question--What strings is it set up for? 40-100, 45-100, 45-105?

Thanks,

...to the best of my knowledge, most BBE-era G&Ls with solid color finish have alder bodies btw.

I would guess the radius is 7.5" as it looks similar to my DJ4, but I can't tell for sure.

It currently has 45-105 strings, and the nut was cut for that gauge. Had to have the nut replaced because I put some huge Fender flats on and it broke the nut. Had a local luthier custom cut a new bone nut.
