Traded away this afternoon. Many thanks to those who offered trades, expressed an interest etc Keir

Thanks, the L-1000 is a really sweet bass just need something I’m going to use it for. Maybe if I’m successful with auditions for the Elvis tribute act I’ve applied for, I can maybe use it with that (thinking Jerry Scheff..) Ye seen your G&Ls as well as your SR5 and Dimension you had up till recently. Pretty much the same things I like!

Just watched the video for this. Very cool looking and sounding P/J. With this one and Charvel with their San Dimas pro mod basses, Fender have got some really tasty looking sans pickguard P/J offerings in their line up. GLWTS!

I had one of these at the same time as my SRFF806 fan fret. The singlecut Cerro was a lovely thing. With the benefit of hindsight, I know I should have kept it. GLWTS! edit: small world, before moving to Shropshire this summer, I used to pass through Galston from Mossblown just outside Ayr, on my way to work in Newmilns.

Trade I was after has fallen through Looking for a similar condition 4 or 5 string MusicMan, Fender USA Dlx Jazz or Precision, Sandberg Caifornia, Warwick Streamer, Spector Euro, Lakland 44/55-02 Dlx, WHY? Keir

Thanks for the info. Original post now updated. Keir

G&L CLF Research L-1000 For sale or trade is my 2018 CLF Research L-1000 ‘wunkay’ . Showroom condition, even still smells new, bedroom use only, great player which is very light edit: weight is 3.74kg/8lb 4oz Sounds huge for a passive bass when switched to the OMG setting. All three positions are highly usable. All in, a superb reissue of an iconic bass. Selling as its not the tone I need for my band(s) and it is just sat in its case. I’m ideally looking for a nice USA StingRay or Sterling or Fender USA jazz or Precision Deluxe. Prefer a rosewood board. Will consider other basses eg Sandberg, Spector Euro, Warwick Streamer, Lakland 44-02 WHY? Your bass should be in excellent condition with no issues. Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton, Shropshire near Stoke or can travel within reason to meet. Will post if buyer arranges their own courier and level of cover. Main Details: *Basswood body finished in Pharaoh Gold Firemist. *Gloss finished CLF slim C profile maple neck with Chechen (Caribbean rosewood) 9.5” radius fingerboard with 1.625/41.3mm nut width and bone nut. *Original G&L headstock shape. *G&L MFD humbucker with passive electronics (passive treble and bass) with three way toggle (Parallel/Single Coil/OMG) *G&L Saddlelock bridge and G&L ultra-lite tuners with tapered aluminium string posts. *G&L deluxe case. *G&L certificate of Authenticity and Build sheet. Specs and info on the G&L homepage https://glguitars.com/product/clf-research-l-1000/ ——————————————————— Ed Friedland plays an identical model to this with the Mavericks. Here he is reviewing a few of the CLF Research L-1000 options including the Pharaoh gold https://youtu.be/cB0fTDeRL-Y ——————————————————— My pics don’t really do the colour justice. The colour is more like in the following video thanks for looking Keir

BUMP for price drop

Fantastic! Looks super, wish I had either the funds or something you’re after. GLWTS!

Lovely example of a great bass.

I used to have one of these in the original blue dawn finish and it played and sounded great. I strung it both A to A as a baritone and E to E as a bass. In the end up I stupidly let it go cheap when I needed the cash. Sold it on the fretboard forum and then about a month or two later seen the music store Frets had it up for £1400 or thereabouts. Was right gutted then😞 I remember once taking the Silo bass into Guitar Guirar and they offered me £400 for it saying they would likely only knock it out for £800 as it was a niche instrument. I knew that was a bare faced lie so without saying anything, I shut up the case and walked out. They’re really great guitars and from my own experience they appeal more to guitar players than bass players. just imo and ymmv Joe Perry plays the Silo bass on Aerosmith's ‘Back in the Saddle’ GLWTS!

**NOW SOLD** Bought on here a couple of months ago. Has largely been my go to bass in that time but I am after another bass that has caught my eye and a couple of my basses will have to go to fund it. Ash body finished in transluscent white. Nicely figured neck with a bit of birdseye. Rosewood fingerboard. Lakland bridge, hipshot tuners, Lakland vintage J pickups. Lakland Levy’s deluxe gig bag. Bass is in excellent condition. Has a mark at the end of the headstock on the edge, otherwise very clean. The neck has been plek’d, plays beautifully and has the lowest action of all my basses. Guarantee that first to try will buy. Fantastically good passive jazz bass. Very reluctant sale. No cash offers or trades. I’m on Shropshire/Staffordshire/Cheshire borders. Could meet locally. Postage will be difficult as I don’t have a shipping box but I may be able to source one. Postage will be £25 to UK mainland though this does not include insurance/cover. edit: weighed the bass and it comes out at 4.26kg/9lb 7oz

**No longer for sale. Too nice to let go so keeping it ** edit : was asked for dimensions/weights so will put them here too Nut width 48mm String spacing at bridge 17mm Weight 11 lbs 1996 G&L L5500 in see thru red over ash body with quartersawn maple neck with carbon graphite strengthening rods and rosewood fingerboard, G&L saddle lock bridge, G&L stamped elephant ear tuners, EMG humbuckers with EMG BTC 2 band active EQ. Built in small numbers (less than 500 I’m led to believe) before the L-2500 appeared in 1997. This model was the transition model between the L-5000 which had a very narrow nut and string spacing and the L-2500 and used the EMG pickups and circuit while G&L were getting their five string MFD pickups ready. This bass is in nice condition for its 25 years. There is tarnishing on the machine heads, bridge saddles and most notably on the black crinkle neck plate, some buckle rash, some crazing in the lacquer on the back and there a couple of slightly duller patches on the front which can only be seen from close up and at certain angles. There are numerous small knocks around the bass (none which go through to the wood) commensurate with the age of the bass. No structural, electronics or playability issues though the pots could do with a spray of electrical contact cleaner. They are fine when set and cause no problems. The bass comes with the certificate of authenticity and user manual etc and has the original G&L hard shell case which though scratched, functions perfectly. Not looking for trades and no cash offers. This is a USA G&L made in Fullerton,CA and is priced to sell with no further price reductions. I am on shropshire/Staffordshire/Cheshire borders. Can travel up to an hours drive for a meet.
