SOLD USA G&L JB2 (Beautiful Flame Top, light Swamp Ash Body)

I'll start by saying this bass is beyond incredible. The look, the weight, the balance, and the tone. It's has a vintage tint maple neck and fingerboard, a swamp ash body, and flamed maple top. Passive design, with original g&l pups and pots. The nut width is 1.5in, I know that question will come up. The bass weighs under 8.5 lbs, I'll get an exact weight soon.

This bass would have been perfect, save the neck profile. It's just slightly thicker than I'm comfortable with. Along with the vintage tint, it has a vintage carve on the neck with is just a little beyond my comfort zone. With that said, I like the bass so much that I did investigate having the neck re-profiled, but couldn't justify the cost. So, I'm putting this on the selling / trade block.

I'm seeking 1000 shipped. Trade wise there are a few options I'd consider.

Trades: JB-2, swamp ash body but with a modern Jazz neck profile. I'd also consider a Sandberg with a J / MM pickup configuration. Also would consider USA G&L Kiloton, again swamp ash body preferred. L2500 or M2500

Trade down options: Tribute equivalent of what's listed above with cash to me.

I'll also listen to other offers, but most likely the above options are what I'd be after.

Any question feel free. Oh, and it comes with a G&L hardshell case.

 

Added new trade, USA Kiloton.

 

More open to the trades listed. USA Kiloton especially.

 

Other US JB2's, Kilotons, or Sandberg California 2 Jazz/MM config. All high trade interests.

 

Open to cash offers or possibly trade downs plus cash to me.

 

Price drop.

I don't have the skill set or confidence to even attempt that. I appreciate the suggestion though.
