G&L Club Part 7

View attachment 4015114 I paid $850 for this one on Reverb a couple of years back, original and correct with OHSC.

So prolly somewhere around a G-Note.

This may be my favorite color of the El Toro. Man, I wish I could play one!

Those El Toro's look great. Are they essentially beefy Jazz basses?

That works for a lot of us.

That sounds about right. I'd say it's about equal parts.

Hasn't shipped yet but previous owner promised to ship tomorrow,on brown truck. Glad he accepted my offer NBD,I think. El Toro's are getting hard to find in good condition. Actually ordered one back in 1984 trans blue. View attachment 4015126

Love the black control plate and bridge

Had an itch to scratch for an L2XXX. Found this one, 90s era. The pearl white is a nice creamy vanilla shade (impossible to photograph well). Anything but plain vanilla

Congrats! White L2xxx look so classy!

Is it vintage white? Definitely looks/photographs like my Vintage white L2500.

That looks great. I didn’t know pearl white was an option?

Beautiful! When it no longer serves you, send it my way.

I’ve often wondered why G&L didn’t put those pickups on the now defunct MJ-4. Would have been a more interesting bass.

 

[Holdsg]

I just call it Pearl White. Because that's what it looks like to me. If it's Vintage White, well, that works for me too.

 

[jmlee]

This is my Pearl White M-2500 for reference. I'd say that's a pretty good call on the colour.

 

[HELLonWHEELS]

What is the difference between pearl white and alpine white?

 

[Holdsg]

About 5000 ft?

 

[armybass]

Anyone know where I can get a black pickguard for a us JB4?

 

[HELLonWHEELS]

About 5000 ft?

lol but seriously, they are both white colors made available by G&L

 

[Holdsg]

I'm betting the pearl has some shimmer, the alpine more matte, and that's probably the main difference.
