It's minty except for a very small scratch on the back which does not show well in the overall photo.

Just curious, what's going on with the "D" saddle screw? It looks broke or not threaded, hard to tell from the picture. Thanks.

just gorgeous

Bones1450, My stupidity. When I cleaned her up, restrung and adjusted for intonation I must have backed the adjusting screw out and not noticed. Fixed now. Thanks for the catch.

Awesome! I'm particular fond of G&Ls and this is just another fine example of a quality bass. GLWTS!

Gorgeous bass. The neck looks to be quarter-sawn which is a great feature.

Fellow TBer's, Sorry for the oversight on the bridge. First posting and such...Here are a new set of photos of the corrected screw adjustment and bass overall.

Is the neck gloss or flat satin?

It's a gloss neck sort-of. I rub down all my necks with 0000 steel wool to remove the tacky feel then polish with Virtuoso.

So the original G&L finish has been removed?

Scubabuba, Sorry for the delay. No the original finish is totally intact. With all of my basses, guitars and some of my mandolins I prefer a silky smooth feel of the finish to the neck. I want a finish on the instrument for protection but do not want the maintenance of speed neck which exists on some of my mandos and my violin. Although some bass necks have a relatively nice finish which wears in over time, I prefer to speed and assist the process a bit. My goal is to decrease the tacky feel inherent most finishes (nitro or varnish) and rather than wet sanding with 1200 or better grit then polishing, I find 0000 steel wool perfect for the process followed by a buffing and polishing with Virtuoso.

Still available?

Sorry but no, I literally just sold the bass yesterday.

Curses
