G&l sb-2 tribute pricing please.

[DevinWard369]

Hey I need advice on a bass.. I know I know, I hate these threads also, but I've never owned a G&l..
It's a tribute. That means it's a lower model correct?
Anything I should look for?
Fair price if you were to purchase this bass used?
Any help is appreciated.
I've talked the seller down a considerable amount.
Just wanna know from the G&l experts if I please could, and I didn't want to seek out a club to ask,, I've googled and around 500$ is what I'm coming up with..?
Appreciate any and all help guys!

SB2 Tributes are $599.00 new online. The most I'd pay would be $350.00 or so, if its in great shape. The pickups are great in this bass.

that seems pricey, you can get a used usa one for between 675 and 750
tribute has usa pickups and bridge, not sure about everything else
my demo 2011 usa sb-2 was 865 from mf with all the coupons and discounts

I think they are Korean made or they used to be. From what I heard they are a decent buy. $500 may be a little high maybe between $400-500. They are a decent mid range priced bass, well made.

What you have pictured looks like an older, Korean-made Tribute. The new Tributes are made in Indonesia, and are arguably not quite as nice as the older Korean Tribbys. The Tribute line uses the same pickups as the MIA G&L counterparts, but the rest of the bass is local content. Also, Tributes are not Plek'ed, as are the MIA basses.

I'd say the Korean Tribute is worth a bit more than a used Indonesia Tribute. For a nice Korean SB2, I think I'd pay $400 or $450 tops, if it played and felt great.
