Cool stuff, I've done the same. Only just realised your up the way in Pontypridd!!

[quote name='tattsyrup' post='781175' date='Mar 20 2010, 09:23 PM']I've just found a website for hoyer guitars (who have been brought back to life) I e-mailed them about my different model Hoyer (pics attached - battered and bruised but still fantastic) and they got straight back in touch asking for serial no. and pics and promising to see what they could find out.

Here's the site [url="http://www.hoyerguitars.com/Hoyer_Guitars/Hoyer.html"]http://www.hoyerguitars.com/Hoyer_Guitars/Hoyer.html[/url]

Good work!! Thats awesome!! We made it to 3 haha What did they say about yours?

Malekko B:assmaster Fuzz Pedal (silicon version).

Bought this recently, its in perfect working condition and looks brand new. Quite a wide array of Fuzz tones from mental (Muse) to subtle. Bought it for the whole Chris Squire Fish out of Water transcription. Reason i'm selling is a mix of not currently at the stage to be able to afford and experiment with pedals - gimme a couple o years perhaps.

Good luck with the sale![/quote]

I agree, I'd just strip it down to the wood. Then get someone to take a look at the electronics.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='779355' date='Mar 19 2010, 06:21 AM']I don't want to be a dreadful pedant (well maybe I do), but the stretch is down to the scale length not the number of frets. It's just how far up the neck they gave up adding frets I found that, although at first glance quite chunky, that these G&Ls have amazingly comfy necks for a five string.[/quote]

Do they add the extra frets past the 12th?? It is a very comfy neck, I'm a lil unsure now. I've had a few basses where the 1st to 5th frets have been awful for my hands to manouvre around (in this case its the bottom 3) but it ain't too bad, getting used to using my pinky for octaves.

I always heard G&Ls were heavy and had poor access to the higher frets - I disagree! I prefer a fretless (in ebony!), although getting frets put in wouldn't be a waste of funds, I think they're very underrated both renown and value.

Its because of the Funky Weird Green finish, more basses should be green I feel. I've got a Zebra Skin Strap Locked on it at the moment

USA G&L L2500

34" Scale
21 Frets
Figured Hard Rock Maple Neck
Ebony Lined Fretless Fingerboard
2x George Fullerton Magnetic Field Humbuckers
G&L Tri-Tone active/passive electronics, 3-way mini-toggle pickup selector, series/parallel mini-toggle, preamp control mini-toggle (off/on/on with high end EQ boost)
Swamp Ash Body
Chrome Hardware
Transparent Forest Green Finish
Ultra Lite G&L tuning pegs
G&L saddlelock Bridge with through body stringing
Neck Width at Nut 44.5mm
Moulded G&L Branded Hardshell Case

The USA model uses higher quality materials, resulting in a much lighter, more resonant bass than the Indonesian Tribute series. Leo Fenders final say on the bass guitar. I was expecting it to be a lot heavier but I'd guess 9lbs but don't have the means to weigh it. Reason I'm selling is that I need 24 frets instead of the 20/21 fret stretch found on most basses - I have guitarists hands. A shame as its fantastically versatile - Motown, Rock, Jazz, Metal, Funk, Country, RnB does it all. Never seen Green and Ebony on a G&L (Incredible Hulk )and the US models are getting quite hard to come by in the UK.

This bass is professionally setup with new roundwound strings and I can't see a mark on it - looks as new. You can use roundwounds with minimal scratching on an ebony and slap if thats your thing. The bass does anything from Jazz to Musicman to Precision tones through my Genz Benz 750. The fretless Precision tone can be set to passive with a vintage tone to die for, especially with the clarity of the Ebony and the extra boom from the humbuckers. I've not had an issue with the B string as I string through the body preferring the higher tension. Theres also plenty of access to the higher frets of the neck for the jazz guys, but for those of us who aren't its quite easy to whipe out that fretless mwah and keep the depth and rumble.

And heres the link to the original thread with some pictures:

I'm looking £695 which is roughly double the price for a tribute L2500 new and this is in mint condition, so a good bargain I think. Worth at least £850 this condition second hand. I will consider all trades offers as well.

Ahh gotta love the EB3 style . I wish we had some more Hoyer examples on here, tempted to collect them when I'm older and have more funds! Saw one go straight away here in Cardiff, semi acoustic guitar just went within a week. You probably have to try b4 you buy though as not many ppl have heard of them. Rare gems.

[quote name='karlfer' post='764727' date='Mar 5 2010, 08:12 AM']Collection absolutely no problem if the time comes.
Will be within couple of days.[/quote]

Sounds great! Just say when, still available.

The sunburst is the best finish possible

Mods, if this picture breaks any rules, apologies, just trying to clarify for a couple of members. Please remove if not allowed.[/quote]

Hey Karl, looks close enough for me!

I think ebony fretless precision is possibly the best tone out there. Get the jazz pickup in the bridge just in case though, balls to cosmetics. Possibly get a five string and you'll have all bases covered, although the learning curve for me is a lil steep - you'll need the lines or you'll get lost.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='772844' date='Mar 12 2010, 03:17 PM']Hopefully not Sunburst, for the sake of The Bank of WoT...[/quote]

But but but.....I like sunburst , I like the jazz with block inlays just need to change the pickguard n add the shiny things....

I've tried both and i'm going to back G&L, finally found a P bass sounds with enough umph to cut through and stay nicely within the mix - perfect combination. Fretless Precision tone is probably my fave, but its gotta be active i'm afraid, adds definition without the loss of vintage character. G&L has other options of course I'm just happy with this one for now and I like the look and feel of it. Its a USA version cos i'm a snob. Plus I couldn't miss an oppurtunity for winding my Indonesian girlfriend up

Bought a USA G&L L2500 from Tony, extremely quick delivery and in mint condition. Brilliant price and very quick response to his PM's would love to do a deal again. Cheers Tony

Does it have the rickebacker truss rod cover?

Photo of the electronics added, can you see the Gibson 001?? Managed to do it via a webcam as I'm unable to get a camera, can do a few more upon request I guess

Can I see a pic of your custom shop?? That finish is pretty hard to find (above) its really nice!

Bargain indeed! Heard a lot of good things about the Peavey Cirrus - loved these basses since I saw Verdine White playing one. Cracking finish even the back looks fantastic.

I think I'd loathe a 36", a Rickenbacker gave me a hard time

Beautiful, calling Happy Jack!!!

Sounds awesome if your a jazzman! If you can get it headless, all the better - I love those shuker singlecuts.
