Price reduction to £900. I'm thinning out the herd and this is a reluctant sale of my 1989 G&L L-5000 5 string bass guitar. Open to reasonable offer or trade for 1980s vintage Yamaha basses or Lakland 44-64. Description: The serial number, B018549, suggests it’s from early 1989. A real supercharged P-bass, only 400 of these L-5000’s were made. This was also Leo's last production bass design for G&L, and the only 5-string with a low B he ever produced. The bass plays and sounds great! It's light-weight and very ergonomic and comfortable to play. The tone is exactly what you would expect from a G&L P bass - everything from warm and smooth to edgy and aggressive is available. This is a vintage bass that has seen some action and has been PLAYED, with all the usual dings, scratches and marks you'd expect to see on an instrument that's almost 30 years old (please see pics). Strung with Thomastik-Infield JF345 Jazz Flatwounds at a cost of £85! Comes with well used Hiscox case (one lock is stuck and bubbling to the exterior top) The G&L L-5000 has a compact neck made with special wood that was selected and sawed in a specific way to obtain maximum strength. Sickle headstock Black crinkle pick guard bridge and neck plate Three-tone Sunburst Maple Neck/Fretboard Please note: Please check the pictures. I can do personal collection from Camden Town NW1 or courier to UK for £25. Item comes with Hiscox case and will be securely packaged.

Just a quick note to thank Umcoo for the sale of this bass. I've been looking for a vintage Yamaha BB1600 for ages and it was a pleasure buying from you. The bass arrived safe and sound, packaged very securely. Quick and helpful responses were much appreciated. The bass itself is in great condition for a 30 year old instrument, and the slimline neck makes playing nice and easy. Thanks again Umcoo from a very happy new owner.
