Thanks fella, friday BUMP

Yeah I know what you meant. I was having a think about what Basses I would be interested in but there really isn't a bass around that i want and havent got so I'm gonna have to say no to the trade..

Haven't considered the trade... will have a think about that

Victor recently purchased an 8 string Dean Rhapsoday Bass from me. it was a smooth sale with prompt payment and collection of bass as well as great communication!

Sell or buy from him with confidence. Enjoy the Bass Victor!

I have for sale my beautiful American G&L JB2 Bass guitar. This bass is one of a kind and I’m sure you’ll agree looks amazing… a real head turner!

It’s the American made model (not the Tribute) and the shop I imported it from in America said they had it Specially ordered in. I have never seen another G&L like this one and certainly not in this finish so it stands out as being cool looking.

This is my main bass at the moment and it breaks my heart to sell it but it has got to be sold! Cost me a fortune to import with all these taxes but it was well worth it in the end.

I have always been a big Fender Jazz Bass fan and after hearing good things about G&L I decided to import this beauty from the U.S. about 2 & half years ago. I was right to do so as it more than competed with the fender I played at the time in both looks, playability and tone.

This bass is extremely reliable & well built (6 bolts for the bolt on neck), a real work horse if needed and as with most jazz basses it’s very versatile.

A major plus with this instrument is that it is lightweight so no suffering from backaches when you play those long 3 hour sets ;-)

JB2 also comes with a Deluxe Hardshell Tolex Case w/Fitted Interior (Case has slight crack in it but this does not affect its use in any way).

Apart from a few minor scuffs on the back off the body from belt buckles this bass is in top condition with no chips.

It has great action, is currently strung with rotosound piano wound strings (also known as superwound) & has been extremely well looked after with set ups every 6-8 months since I bought it.

Beautiful bass. I have a Custom USA version and it's such a well built and great sounding bass. I think anyone that likes Fenders or Musicmans would be more then happy with one of these!

Good luck selling it!

That is one beautiful bass, Always been a huge fan of these but sadly don't have the funds to buy this. Whoeve buys it will get a bargain and beautiful instrument!

Interested in a trade?

[quote name='neilcoleman' post='1279155' date='Jun 22 2011, 10:28 PM']I have friends visiting next week from your neck of the woods so I may call in a favor how flexible are you on you asking?[/quote]
I'll be honest with you, £150 is about as low as I will go on this bass as its in great condition and more then a bargain at that price. Its just been sitting in a room for a while.

[quote name='neilcoleman' post='1279143' date='Jun 22 2011, 10:18 PM']Where are you located? Are you able to arrange delivery?[/quote]
I am located in South London (Bromley). Ideally it would be pick up or I could meet locally (In London) but I can look into getting an idea on postage costs if you give me details!

[quote name='gemdids' post='1279124' date='Jun 22 2011, 10:05 PM']Ooh that's a looker! [/quote]

This bass is basically as new and hardly played....tuners still have plastic cover on them! I imported it from the USA about 3 years ago but never made much use of it apart from the odd recording.

Dean designers equipped the Rhapsody 8 with a pair of EMG-HZ Pickups and a custom Dean 3D Preamp to accurately reproduce the wide range of tones that come from an 8-string. You'll love the swirling grain pattern of the African Bubinga top and the great dynamic range that comes from select Mahogany body. The bolt-on neck is made of Maple and paired with a 24-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Intonation and tuning could be a nightmare on an 8-string but the Dean 2 Piece Anchor Bridge System and a set of Grover tuners keep the Rhapsody 8 in line.


I have had this bass for about 3 years and with the exception of using it on a few recordings I have hardly used it. Its a beautiful bass and in more or less mint condition but I don't really have no need for it for the bands i'm in.

The bass was has been set up and is easy to play with plectrum or fingers. With this bass who needs a guitarist in the band? ;-)

Bass now sold on ebay!
