Amazing! They're all superb😍

The 55-02 that Paddy was selling? Yes I got that in June and it's since become my main gigging bass. Planning to share the love between it and the blueburst StingRay.

And mine. Finally after 30 years I've got the bass I used to gig with all those years ago but sold when I moved to Australia (not the exact one but the same) I did have four including the two Specials above but those and an '05 have been traded away as this blueburst is the only one I want to pick up. This bass has calmed my GAS down a lot 😁 The Specials are fantastic. I'm not going to knock anything about them but I guess I just like the old contours and signature clanky treble

Finally managed to source an all maple neck for my '94 blueburst.

Diamond blue Cutlass

16.5mm (which I don't mind/in fact quite like on this bass)

Thanks. Traded away my pharaoh gold/rosewood wunkay three years ago and missed it so when I got the heads up on this from Paddy I didn't want to miss out

this one? I bought it yesterday with help from Paddy777

Yes passive which suits it brilliantly imo

Great looking bass. The figuring on the fretboard is insane!😍

,I had a Tribute M2500 which was smoother and a bit more bright sounding than any two pickup L series/Asat bass I owned. I think there are so many other options out there with two pickups and 3 band EQ. G&L have a well thought out, original and familiar concept with the L series. If I was shelling out money on Fullerton made G&L it would be a L-2500. I'm not saying the M-2500 isn't a valid option but if it was selling it would still be in the line up. I really like the USA JB-2 (discontinued) I think they did make 5 string JB-2s and iirc the active equivalent was the MJ-5. They always seemed really thin on the ground when I was looking. The JB-5 Fender Jazz derivative... I'm not sure about this one but I'd probably love it if I owned one. Kiloton 5 - I owned a 4 and liked the different tones off the single pickup. Being passive it doesn't have rather nails down blackboard treble of the older L-1500/1505. Another 5 is the L-5500 which was only made for a year or so before the L2500 was ready. The L-5500 had EMG pickups and preamp and a 4+1 headstock. Those are an aquired taste. I owned two and kind of miss them. I hope your three serve you well. I don't have a G&L at the moment and feel poorer for it. Keir

Lovely! Tort plate with that finish and black pickup covers every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

That looks lush 😍😍 I had a Tribute M2500 which I really liked but not long afterwards I had to sell it on here as part of a cull to get a bass I coveted a while.

2022 Raspberry Burst and 2023 Smoked Chrome

Ah cheers Mike yes I now see the one for $500. Will have another look. Have you placed an order? Keir

Newly aquired 2022 Raspberry burst Special. Also pictured is my 2023 Smoked Chrome.

Prices for the five are showing as starting at almost double what it cost me for my Apollo 4 string including import costs. Bit gutted as was told these would be a few hundred more. Ah well one less thing to worry about having to save for. Every cloud....

Parallel - more transparent, open sounding than series. Like a Stingray but with a little extra grind due to the ceramic pickup and voicing of the preamp Single coil - more focused, thinner sounding, actually found the more I used this the more I liked it. Series - biggest sounding of the three with more low mids? Just never felt it worked for me as such because the almost smiley face EQ curve in the parallel setting was what I liked about musicman from the off. Deep bottom with almost clicky top 🙂 All of the above goes for the Stingray 5. Old habits die hard.
