American made, authentic G&L Bass.[/color] [color=#000000]SN# CL07648 registered with G&L.[/color] [color=#000000]This is not a cheaper foreign-made Tribute model.[/color] [color=#000000]In 1997, G&L basses underwent an improvement in build quality by going to a much stronger 6-bolt neck design which this one has. The headstock has the classic "bump" design.[/color] [color=#000000]This bass is all original, with the exception of a really nicely done MUTE switch which has been added below the other micro switches. SEE PHOTO…it's really cool and blends in perfectly with the design...[/color] [color=#000000]The controls on a G&L are as follows: [/color] [color=#000000]Master Volume knob 3-way pickup selector switch[/color] [color=#000000]Treble knob active/passive switch[/color] [color=#000000]Bass knob Preamp Off/On/On w/ treble boost[/color] [color=#000000]mute switch (custom)[/color] [color=#000000]This is a very sweet sounding and playing bass. The only wear mark is a slight discoloration spot on the end of the headstock. It is nicely balanced and very comfortable to wear.[/color] [color=#000000]Includes hardshell case. Also has matching Schaller Strap-Lock buttons.[/color] [color=#000000]£1000 - Please call me on 07795 116666[/color]

    Ooh, and Charic - I'll have my Eden WT300 there, a Warwick 8x10 and some other bits and bobs. Are any other left-handed players coming along to the bash?

    [quote name='pikeman' timestamp='1331369190' post='1571888'] I did some recording last week at Sham Studios (and forgot to pick up my guitar stand Biggsy ) It's a great place to hold the Bash. I'll be along with a JV Squier Precision, Barefaced Compact and whatever amp I'm using at the time. Looking forward to it and meeting fellow BCers. Steve. [/quote] Just spotted this Steve! A mystery guitar stand has had Carl and I confused all week - case now closed I know Carl was interested in doing a deal with you on your Selmer; next time you're down our way we can return your stand and talk valves! (P.S, the mix's are turning out well - should all be finished by Saturday evening )

    No probs! There's a good hog-roast company locally too if you want me to get some details.

    Hi guys, my wife and I are expecting our first child in July so I'm thinking of selling my nicest bass to raise some cash. It's an '89 USA made G&L L2500 5 string, and an absolute beauty. Here's a link to the original owner's for sale post: [url="http://www.leftybassist.com/viewtopic.php?p=12042#p12042"]linky[/url] I'm in for a grand, and that's what I'd like back. Any interest?

Would you consider a P/X against an active 4-string fretted Warwick Corvette Pro-Line by any chance?

    [quote name='Basshoofd' post='1104726' date='Jan 27 2011, 08:39 AM']It seems like you're not getting my messages. I'm offering full price + all additional fees. Could you please message me?[/quote] I have been offering the same, with a local pickup - I have since received a friendly warning from a concerned (and upstanding) basschatter who objectively described his dealings with 'thesomething' as less than favourable. One of the reasons being poor communications - and he's not wrong! For that reason - I'm out.

    [quote name='the someone' post='1099318' date='Jan 23 2011, 08:47 AM']yep still for sale[/quote] PM'd..
  14. Biggsy
    I'll come! Happy to pay in advance if it'll help at this short notice. I can bring my Hellborg amp and an Eden WT300 if anyone would like to try them, but won't be able to bring a cab. I'll probably bring a couple of lefty basses too P.S, Dood, I'm really keen to see your TC effects!

    [quote name='Bassmonster' post='633673' date='Oct 22 2009, 07:11 PM']not the best listing, almost looks suspicious[/quote] Almost, would definately be a leap of faith purchasing on the description alone. It's pointlessly elaborate to be a scam I think, found this picture; Seems a bit expensive though, considering it's missing parts and needs work. Did the LX5 ever go for £2500? Warwick prices seem to have gone up over the last few years and it's RRP is currently £1700, even though you can buy them new for £1300.

    [quote name='metaltime' post='630359' date='Oct 19 2009, 01:53 PM'][code][/code] He means he started a thread in basses for sale as well as the post in our thread and could the other thread be deleted as he has now posted in our lefty thread i think.[/quote] Ah, my bad. Carry on!

    [quote name='Rob Kittler' post='627998' date='Oct 16 2009, 03:47 PM']..if you are a person who knows how to do it, get rid of this thread from the normal basses for sale section please![/quote] Erm.. Why? and to where?

    [quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='626114' date='Oct 14 2009, 03:45 PM']I'd feel gutted if I listed mine and it went for that, but good on you for staying positive! [/quote] Maple's more desirable and I'm not greedy - I made a little money and passed a bargain on to another lefty, where's the negative?!

    [quote name='LeftyJ' post='625986' date='Oct 14 2009, 01:39 PM']Biggsy's Stingray sold for just a mere 620 GBP It's just amazing what these go for in the UK lately.[/quote] I thought that was pretty good! A bit more than it owed me anyway

    [quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='620421' date='Oct 8 2009, 11:45 AM']Sadly, you can't edit the title once you have bids. Good luck with it! [/quote] This is true. Plenty of bidding watchers though, so the omission hasn't been to the detrement of the auction thankfully. How much are you asking for yours out of interest?
  21. Biggsy
    [quote name='PaulWarning' post='619811' date='Oct 7 2009, 05:43 PM']Can I suggest you put the word Bass in the description, it doesn't come up when "Left handed bass" is entered in search, might get you a better price[/quote] Good call, many thanks Edit; Do you mean the title?

    [quote name='leftybassman392' post='615951' date='Oct 3 2009, 06:53 PM']Ooh, that's tempting. 2 questions:- would you consider an offer? do you have any more pics?[/quote] No worries, let me know what pictures you'd like.. Happy to consider offers but no P/X I'm afraid.

    [quote name='Leftbass' post='615491' date='Oct 3 2009, 09:14 AM']Nice looking bass but you need to work on your sales pitch Biggsy mate ( sweaty hands! Euch!) [/quote] Ha, drunk post; I found it funny last night! Just a light-hearted jibe to all the previous owners about the surface rust on the pole pieces. Rest assured it's a nice clean bass
  25. Biggsy
    It's certainly had a sweaty hand or two over the last few years!
