Continuing my bass sell-off with this early 1981 G&L L1000 in very good-to-excellent condition. It is all original with zero functional issues. It has a fairly rare (I’m told) combination of one-piece mahogany body, maple neck and ebony fretboard. I am the second owner, having purchased it from...

Up for sale is a 1983 G&L L-1000 (Wunkay) Bass in excellent, all-original condition, including its original, fully functional hard-shell case. This vintage beauty was built at the Fullerton, California plant while Leo Fender was still actively involved in G&L's production. In fact, the body...

My family is looking to downsize so I'm selling off all but my core 4 basses. In the next few days / weeks, I'm also going to list my 2003 Epiphone Elitist Thunderbird (currently having a pickup re-wound) and a one-off prototype Fret-King Dave Roe hollowbody. My other ones that will be sold...

Here is a first year beauty I’ve had for 10 years. I’d even say it’s one of the first 500 made, according to the serial number, body date, neck date, no birthmark on headstock, large hex pickups, and switch tip color. No black or crinkle hardware here. Ash body/ ebony board, lawsuit...

Well, not one of my many Empress G&L’s, but Empress adjacent as I've just ordered an Empress Wunkay from Greg at Rocket Music and this one must go to make room in the music room and budget. This is a near mint G&L L-1000 from the recent CLF Research series. Please forgive the reflections on...

If you're so inclined, make an offer of cash... or trade me a late 90s/early 2000s (non-sunburst) American Precision Deluxe 4-string. Or try me with something else!

This a beautiful Himalayan blue G&L L1000. This was built for a small run prior to G&L re-releasing the model. All specs in the the picture. It's an incredibly light bass at 6lb 14oz and balances well. It's been in a case for a while now as I play my L2000 for virtually everything nowadays. One...

Up for sale is a 1981 Clear Forest Green G&L L1000, all original with no modifications. Maple fingerboard, Swamp Ash body. Has slotted pickup pole pieces. Weighs 10 lbs. 13 oz. ***NOTE*** Just to be clear, my asking price includes shipping within the US. The neck is straight and the truss rod...

Well, I went a little crazy with build to orders from Rocket Music right before the price increase, so it's time to thin the herd. If you're here, it's likely because you're a G&L fan. If you're a G&L fan, you know what you're looking at so I'll spare you the details. Just know that this...

Not gonna lie. This one hurts. Up for consideration is my personal "Holy Grail" of G&L basses: a 1981 L-1000 in a clear finish over a beautiful mahogany body with a gorgeous ebony board. Everything is original on this bass, right down to strap buttons and red switch tip. This one is not a museum...

Well, I didn't plan on selling this ever, but another must-have G&L has caught my eye. This was a special order from Rocket Music, and as I understand, was one of only 10 or so 5-string versions of the iconic L-1000 ever produced. It sounds amazing, and Fullerton Red (aka Fiesta Red) finish...

Serial # B0155XX, which I think dates it to 1984. Early version of Leo's redesigned headstock. Great shape with some actual finish wear on the top of the body (not artificial relic). The finish is a cool satin tobacco burst, but the pics don't really do it justice. This bass has THE nicest neck...

I'm so bummed to let this one go. It is the ultimate bass, but I bought it for "nostalgia" as I played one as my only bass for many years, but this time around I'm playing my fretless more. So, it's only 8.1lbs, everything works, and it's in GREAT shape. No Ski Jump. Truss adjusts! Tilt screw...

1983 mahogany G & L L-1000 with maple neck and fretboard. In "pretty good shape", maybe "VG +". Some scuffing at the back. Massive sound, characteristic of the mahogany-bodied L-1000s with the pickup in the sweet spot. I consider this "The Holy Grail" of 1980s G & L basses. Set up with pretty...

4-string L-1000 reissue from 2008 or so. Plays great, no blemishes to be found. Includes the regular switching -- I believe controls are series, parallel, OMG, with VTB control knobs (all passive, but with the MFD pickup). Neck is 1-1/2" at the nut, maybe a #8 neck if I recall the numbering...

For sale only: G&L Limited Edition L-1000, which was made in the USA in a limited production run back in 2009. Unlike the original vintage ones, this comes with a jazz width (1-1/2" at the nut) neck. Controls are volume/treble/bass plus the three-way toggle switch with the "OMG" huge bass...

I took this in a trade with the intention of selling her.... but knowing good and well that I wouldn't want to. I mean she's a wunkay with a jazz neck. Win win in my book! TRADED - G&L L1000 Limited Edition Lovely bass. Classic burst. Some figuring on the maple board. Hardly a mark on her...
