    Honestly the neck pocket was my biggest concern, even if it wasn't legit that maybe it could be damaged or something. Oh well, seems like it's fine!

    FlyGuitars says that the 82 and 85, the last runs of G3, didn't have a bridge plate

    Thanks! I was a little worried because it's in a bit too great shape... also there's some space where the neck is attached.

    Also, does this look legit to you guys? The price tag says 2500 because it's not USD, and the serial number indicates it's an 85.

    I actually use the D'addario XL pro steels, 55-110 in the long scale! I would also almost certainly go with the fretted one, and it's good to know the G3 gives a bit more clarity, our guitarist also plays in B standard, an SG through an Orange amp, so there's a lot of fighting for low end.

    If that's the case, it definitely won't work as we play in B standard.

    Thanks! I'll try and take the time to go see both, unfortunately it requires a boat ride to get to them.

    Hey! I'm the (very) proud owner of a '74 natural Ripper, it's the go-to bass for my stoner doom band (along with a '79 SVT and an Ampeg Heritage 810). There's two local sellers, one with a G3 ($1800), and another with a fretless G3 ($1600), but they're just far enough away where it's...
