A great story...

Lost it. Much alcohol and stupidity was involved.

I thought it was stolen, but a transit driver had brought it to Lost and Found. I had no idea to look there.

Wow, you left it on a bus and didn’t realize it.

He did say alcohol was involved, so not exactly the dumbest thing anyone has done drunk—or so I've heard.

Love the color, but not sure why one would replace the MFDs with EMGs. The MFDs are pretty killer pickups.

I hope it is not haunted.

Christ's first miracle involved alcohol.

Thirty years…how’s that hair doing?

So, 30 some odd years ago or so, I lost a beautiful green G&L Bass I had.

Lo and behold, my friend Doc de Groot in Edmonton, who does (great) guitar repairs at Stang Guitars, happened to get it across his workbench today!

I've spoken with the person who bought it at an auction, and he is willing to work with me to have it come home!

Its going to cost me 800, which I dont have this second, but I never imagined I would see it again.

It was suggested I set up a GoFundMe, and ask for help.

It was funded in under 24 hours!

I'm so awestruck and grateful!!

I pick it up on the weekend!!

Awesome stuff!

Love G&L, but whoever changed the pups, the original MFDs kick butt. Also curious, how's the hair 30 years later LOL ?

Congratulations on getting your bass back!

It's a G&L L-5500. They came stock with EMG pickups.

EMGs were stock with this model. MFDs in this size didnt exist yet.

Still have most of it. Ponytails are a thing.

I was blessed by the DNA gods
