  1. Yes. Can arrange shipping anywhere at buyers cost or split costs perhaps.
  2. GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Check out my other listing for my SB-2 or take a look at this... NOW £450 Anywho. 3 TSB Jazz bass, the G & L version, spicier pickups than your average J type bass in this price range. Beautifully finished and in 10/10 condition. Vinyl wrapped plate easily removed . I have been after a nice example of this since seeing Ritchie Kotzens 'riot'. I finally pulled the trigger on this new one in the early summer and very pleased i am too or was until i fell for 'another' way more expensive J beast. As with the SB-2 i'd love to keep it but needs must. I love the bridges on these bad boys. Fully set up with fresh EB slinkies. Can ship at buyer expense, pickup from Rochester or exchange somewhere near to the M25.

  3. I bought it from a guy who bought it new and never used it. Where are you based?
  4. Now £395 GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Here is my surf green SB-2. Without question a bass out on its own, spicy MFD pickups (with their trademark adjustable pole pieces), Twin volume control which on other SB-2s i have found to be really easy to dial in a volume/tone needed. That said the modder in me has purchased the dual concentric knobs ready for a stacked volume tone per pickup (like the early Jazz basses). I can throw those in. This hasnt been gigged (one jam session tho..) so is 10/10 perfect. Vinyl wrapped black plate (easily removed if needed..plain black underneath). I know i'll regret letting this go, they are going to be a cult classic imho. This was bought literally a week before G & L went out of business, so one of the last out the door. Fully set up with EB slinkies set on all fressh and ready to go. I can arrange shipping at buyers expense insured (or uninsured at buyers risk).
  5. I get that. For years i have shyed (shied?) away from SR's. For 'a while' i had a rare SR535 just didnt float the boat. Recently taken a part time job in a music shop (remember those?) and been exposed to other basses again that i wouldnt normally go near... Ok. so i am NOT promoting the shop directly, but some things i have found (personally as well in the shop..) for note in your serach if that helps.. SX do a range of warwick-a-likes that have set necks and are amazing vfm easily sub £500 The new range of ibanez Sr's are a very good buy. If i hadnt just bought a Cort A5 single cut i'd bee eyeing up one right now.. I tried a M6 sire and sent it back..poor QC and kept snagging my index finger on the nut. Sound great tho.. V7's are the standard, V3's have cheaper hardware and suffer from a bit of neck dive. Still have the that cool pre amp thoiugh. Cort A5 series, well made and sound really good. Cort space 5 series, great basses, light and well made (actually anything cort tbh). I have owned two the green/purple and the narural one. Excellent instruments if you like the modern sound. I am a certified bass magpie so nothing stays forever! Full disclosure mine is for sale. Squier 5 string. Awesome VFM. Something like £240 something from various places. Play and sound great. We had one second hand in the shop..Literally flew off the wall, gone within the week. For something more unconventional try an Ibanez BTB. Some great 2nd handers out there especially the quilted maple versions. I have owned 5 or 6. Great instruments. Hope that helps. GF
  6. I am in a selling frenzy atm due to some weighty purchases. I have a cort space 5 for sale on here as well as an cort elrick. That aside there are some seriously nice ibanez Srs out there in the sub 500 bracket..new. love this one the sr305.
  7. Sure. Will get you that as soon as I get in from work...
  8. I have posted a few basses for sale and found that the file size for pics is massively different depending where you attach/copy and paste from. To keep the file size super low, take a picture in Whatsapp, send to yourself and copy/paste from there. same picture 1.6Mb vs 144 Kb is quite a saving. If you already knew sorry. If you didnt, you're welcome Have a great '26.
  9. Now $475The clear-out continues. I have two G & L's listed as well. NOW £475 Here is an excellent example of a Cort space 5. Two colour way for this model the green and this one a more natural look. Excellent build quality, a nice weight. Hardware is good taking conventional strings being secured at the 'headstockless end' by an allen bolt. They receive rave reviews and are really an excellent for when stage space is tight. Beautifully figured poplar cap. In 10/10 condition. Comes with fitted gig bag.
  10. Thankyou. I retired from the city late August and started part time at guitar tech as the bass tech. Quite a career change at 63! Joe the owner is passionate about running a shop that he wanted music shops to be like. It a rare thing. We try really hard to make it a place worth coming back to..
  11. Pm sent
  12. I am not sure I should be doing this but hey, needs must. This is a totally unmarked 40th Anniversary precision in matte Red. These are highly regarded and worth the second hand values seen....EXCEPT I bought this as new and it had also been plekked, so this thing plays like a dream. The set up up is literally amazing. Also I have added Dimarzio DP 122 pickeups and a Babicz bridge. I also changed out the scratchplate screws to gold. aesthtic i know but looks good. This really is a future classic imho. Will ship at buyers expense, happy to meet up around the M25 or home counties for coffee money.
  13. NOW £525! Here we have an Elrick designed super Jazz, threee band active, maple neck, white block inlays finished in a deep almost unmarked black Set up beautifully, very light signs of wear. Frets and fretting are perfect. 6 bolt neck with a decent cutaway. A quality 5 string Jazz with a really usuable pre amp and a 35inch scale for a great low end B response. Alder body Bolt-on 3-piece maple neck Maple fretboard White perloid block fretboard inlays Scale: 889 mm (35") Fretboard radius: 305 mm (12") Bone nut 24 Frets Pickups: 2 Cort Voiced Tone VBT-ST Bartolini Elrick NJS Special Preamp Volume and blend controls with 3-Band EQ MetalCraft M4 bridge Hipshot Ultralite machine heads Chrome hardware Strings: Ernie Ball Super Slinkys Colour: Black, high-gloss Includes Deluxe Soft Case New, these are just a smidge under £1k new, this one is pretty much perfect for £400 less. I am happy to meet up Kent, or M25 and the surrounds, happy to ship at buyers expense, I have the boxes etc so will be shipped safely. Extra Photos of course available by request.
  14. Dammit getting all nostalgic and bought a Tribute sunburst Jazz... And the video that did it for me...
  15. G & L are the Saab of the guitar industry. Maverick to a certain extent, quirky, historically significant a bit...I love 'em (i own a m2000 and a SB-2). The MFD pcikups alone should have hailed as a classic design Yet, always the stealth brand, with no big name endorsees, always a bit to far off the general path of things. And we'll miss them when they are gone, or bought. Aparently the tariffs have something to overload their costs...conjecture maybe, who can tell these days. Those who knew...knew i guess, just not enough of us. I also owned a Saab..lol
  16. Went to the SireUSA sight and found this... (copyright SIre obviously)
  17. Yeah knew to do that, but neither switch position deactivates a coil..
