Either seliing singularly or a pair, brubaker brute 5 string Musicman style closed pickups. Five wire so tapping and serial/parallel switching. £70 for the pair, £40 each In used condition but still very smart.

Parts list Bone white Fender 2010 vintage USA made body (through strung so ‘may’ be Elite or professional series) Lindy Fralin pickups. Bridge pickup rewound by bare knuckle pickups to LF spec. CTS pots and cloth wiring Mighty Mite Fender licensed neck, ebony board with additional fret position marker on upper side. Generic through strung bridge Story: I started this bass about 10 years ago, building it up, and swapping in/out choice parts as they become available. I have had a couple of necks on there and it has never disappointed, great playing bass. In the last couple of year it has been set up with a mighty mite fretless neck. The neck is second (third..maybe fourth who knows..) hand and seen some action, I refinished it in Nitro and it plays really nicely although the truss rod is now quite tight. So not perfect but good to go. Doesn’t affect playability or setup, but pointing it out for clarity. The fret position markers have been added and ar only visible from the top The body is in good overall condition, few dints but nothing major. The Lindy Fralins are classic jazz style (as opposed to super hot). Cavities are shielded etc and there is no discernable 60Hz issues. All in all a lovely instrument Selling at cost of parts price basically (these trying times being what they are …) as a playing fretless, or whip the neck off and go fretted, both would give you a great playing bass.

PM also sent ..

sure ...but its through neck

x series BB's great basses, punch well above their price point.

Thanks, It plays well, and has more to give for someone with tinkering in their hands perhaps. All good materials..

Bloody Typical, just ordered one like this..

It is a very nice instrument, Jazz like neck, lighter body than a fender, well balanced. The pickups on G & L are great, as is the hardware (love G & L bridges). In kinder times this would be staying put.

is this still available?

Weight is 3.8Kg, G & L's are slightly slimmer than Fenders

Hi Here is a rather unusual build I did for myself from parts from all over the place. First up is the through neck 'V11 guitars' body. Quilted facings, five piece laminate neck. The pre amp is an Audere Z unit. Pickups are Wilkinson. Machine heads are superb quality N.o.S Schallers, now out of production. When I chose the body/neck I decided on a hi mass bridge which meant dropping it into the deck of the body. The cavity is fully copper lined and the bass as a whole is tonally very wide ranging and quiet in terms of noise etc. Price reflects the cost of the parts only (in fact the schallers and the audere and pickups are worth the asking price..) Its not perfect but I have built it well, Its intonated pefectly and action is good. Few knocks and dints that came with the body (bankrupt stock i believe). Great project to take further ( i was considering routing out for humbuckers for example, or to drill through for the through body stringing that is already waiting on the bridge..) or it plays great as is. Balances well on the strap, currently strung with Fender Nickels. Width at nut: 45mm String spacing at bridge:18mm Scale length: 34" 24 frets Weight: 4.2 Kg Questions/queries welcomed, will ship using UPS insured, or meet and swap using safe distancing.

Bought new late last Year from Andertons here we have my G & L Kiloton in root beer translucent finish over a Mahogony body, with Maple neck. Additionally I have added a hipshot detuner. This is effectively new (few light scratches on the scratchplate). Spec is: CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on SCALE: 34" PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD™ Magnetic Field Design humbucker made in Fullerton, California NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Maple fingerboard NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 1/2" NECK RADIUS: 12" NECK PROFILE: medium C FRETS: 21 medium jumbo, nickel TUNING KEYS: Traditional open-back BRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock™ ELECTRONICS: 3-way series/split/parallel mini toggle, volume, tone This cost me £500 to buy plus the hipshot so £395 is a fair price i feel. Ungigged (cant think why....sighs) . These are lovely basses but as I have 12 last in first out i'm afraid. More to follow i suspect. Trade wise I would be interested in a Geddy Lee pedal if you've bought one and it wasnt for you plus some balance, or a sterling ray34.. Will ship using UPS insured (at buyers cost) or safe distance managed meet up.

wow thought is saw 1075 as the asking price...was a little surprised...and unobservant it appears.

Love US G & L had a Sb-2 and rather foolishly sold it. Got a Tribute Kiltoton now. G & L are really stealth basses, deserve more attention than they get.

pic links dont seem to work??

Same you aren't trading, beautiful beast of a bass, so well made.

i bloody love this and the newer x series of BB both the 5 string and four string , especially in white, i have owned both. Just fabulous instruments. The newer series after these doesn't look as classy as these do imho. GLWTS if i had cash or something to trade...sighs

Couple of things, yes the market is hard work, and a lot of folk dont know how good the fenix stuff was and that they had a hand in early squier production etc. A bit of spiel about that might helps move things along. I have a fenix jazz bass, excellent wish i still had it.

Looking straight trade of my Sandberg TM5 for a nice dingwall combustion 5 ( i had one and wel...miss it). Condition etc obviously a component of the deal. Anyone??? Nope cant do it. Just restrung her and she is singing her little heart out. WITHDRAWN. MAny thanks for anyone who considered this.. Admins please close.

ok PM me and we can do deal etc. Thanks!

I recently traded this lovely beast but cant afford to keep it, which is a real shame as I have a build in progress and need funds and parts. This is a superb example of the ibanez blazer, serial number gives it a birthday of March 1982 at the Terada factory in Japan. Build quality is excellent and is one of the best sounding and playing p basses that i have ever played. For a 38 year old bass condition its excellent. Bridge/truss rod are fully working, the bridge and controls are tarnished as you would expect. Around the body there are a few little marks but basically its in amazing condition. Fret wear is all but non existent. lacquer on all parts of the neck is excellent. There is a little bit of scratchplate lift but nothing out of the oridinary bearing in mind its vintage. A rare colour to. I cant recall ever seeing a blazer in sea foam green. Previous owner did some shielding, no noise at all, so good job well done there. Recently restrung, its a plug and play bass. Beautiful. Kicks butt to, very powerful. Happy to post to the UK, insured at buyers expense. Or meet up to exchange in the home counties sort of area. may PX (although cash needs to be involved somewhere). small portable bass cab (15"), I have a build in progress so decent five string bridge, a decent pre amp (aguilar, john east, glockenklang, Delano).

looks like my old bass..its lovely

All of the g & L's i have owned or played have been excellent, Kinds of even more sorted Fenders...which if you think about it makes sense..lol
