SOLD!
REDUCED TO $800 shipped/insured in the continental US.
Comes with the original case that's in "ok" shape. One latch needs fixing.
Serial#: B001835
The bass itself is in fantastic shape for a nearly 30 year old instrument. See the extensive pix for all the beauty marks. I did a quick setup so I know everything is working fine including the truss rod. Frets are still in real good shape (probably redressed at some point, possibly recently as they're not very worn).
To get a price I've been watching these on eBay. A more worn version of this exact bass just went for over $860 + $80 shipping for a grand total of over $940. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I'm going to offer this one on TB for $800 shipped/insured in the Con. US.
Partial trade credit for: EMG 45DC's, 45CS's or a 45P & J set. Markbass amp.
Don't know what I would do if the right Spector were thrown at me (no more Legends please).
Thanks

If anybody would still want this and we can come to a deal, it will have to be before the eBay reserve is met. At that point I'm commited.

| | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | I just got a PM saying these don't look like the original bridge saddles. They do look different than some of the others I've seen on G&Ls. They don't look like they're wrong or functionally incorrect, just different.
They are fine and I don't know what functional difference there would be, but if I find anymore info I will post it.

| | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | | I've been asked, via PM, how much this weighs.
All the others I've seen in this color/configuration seem to state between 9 to 9 1/2 lbs.
My bathroom scale seems to agree with about 9 lbs.

| | | | What's the nut width on this? Closer to a P Bass or a J bass? I know they offered both... Thanks! |

Actually, I'd love to see something factual about it. Then we could actually put it to rest. But all I'm getting are a couple of opinions...
....and you know what they say about opinions.  Quote:

Went back and researched:
1980 to 1984 they list the nuts as 1 11/16" (an 8th of an inch slimmer than 1.75" which must be what mine is. Sorry.).
1985 they list the nut as 1 5/8" (1 10/16"  ).
1986 they list is as 1 1/2" (probably what you're looking for).
1992 & 1993 it's back up to 1 11/16".
I'm not sure if they offered both widths throughout the run, or if the 1 5/8" (1 10/16") listing is just a mismeasure/misprint.
I'm guessing it's either 1 11/16" (mine) or 1 1/2" nut widths that were produced.

| | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | In the interest of full disclosure and for those of you that didn't see the original for sale thread on this:
When I received this bass, unbeknownst to me at the time someone had replaced the normal 3 way switch with a two way. It was wired correctly by G&L schematic but was simply the wrong (non-original) switch. Through research and a rather "lively" thread about it here on TB I was able to determine, acquire and install the correct 3 way switch (Even has the cute little red cover. That was harder to find than the switch.  ).
I retyped the text in this thread (when I lowered the price) from memory (I forgot to "copy" when I deleted the other thread) and just didn't think it was an issue worth meantioning anymore (My analogy was: "If you get a bass with 1 wrong tuning key, and then find and install the correct one, then later sell, is it worth meantioning?").
Someone who's opinion I respect thought it was worth meantioning, so here it is.

| | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | So OK, I've answered every question I could. Posted tons of detailed pix. I don't know if every little set screw or whatever is 100% 1981 "Vintage". If you need to know something about this bass, as always before, simply ask.
I will do my best to give you the proper info (as always).
Thank you.

I recently started playing my P-Bass with flats through it and it sounds so freaking good - can do no wrong and fills the mix of any style of Music.
The L1000 needs to come East - even if it is for a visit : )
