Currently waiting for @Cuzzie to send me my Go To bass π In the meantime, mostly running things through my Yamaha BBP34/35. π
-
I want to like them as my first Fender was a '51RE. Absolutely loved it but sold it on regretfully. A 32" '51 just won't be the same, perhaps a more 'clunky' sound? π§

30" / 32" / 34"... Although I'd say 35" is probably considered the "long scale" in basses.

I want to like it but being the build I am and having hands like baseball mitts, I just don't think I'd get on with a short scale. On the other hand, I really love the design and only wish for G&L to release a 34" scale for us man apes ππ Definitely seems like short scales are all the rage atm.

Oh god no! What have you started? I got you @Cuzzieπππ The pickups in this G&L are actually pretty good in fairness but MFD... Nope! It's commonly known about Leo Fenders hearing loss and how he'd overwind pickups to compensate for it. Well made instruments, granted I've owned a few G&L guitars and basses but mentioning MFD's, I can only hold Cuz back so much before he lets loose π

Wow! Looks incredible but for that price point, I think I'd have to sell some body parts on the black market π π

On paper it speaks for itself as a quality item, I'd just hunt one down and try it in your own hands πππ»

Location: Eastham, Wirral. NW, UK. Condition: Used, some minor wear. Reflected in price Price: Β£509 Β£485 inc UK mainland postage Trades accepted, Trade Value Β£500 see comment. Obtained this awesome bass earlier this year to go alongside my late Yamaha Attitude 25th Anniversary bass as a more functional gigging bass- however I never got to take it out of the house in the end but still sat proudly in my bass collection as a fascinating "one off" instrument. It's foundations are on a Fender Squier Classic Vibe 51 neck on a Fender Squier Mike Dirnt Pbass body (inc neckplate and pickguard) However it's been modded with some Hipshot HB10 tuning machines which are solid construction, quality tuners and a matching Hipshot BT7 D-Tuner. Fender American Deluxe bass bridge- grooved and plated brass saddles. Neck pickup: DiMarzio Will Powerβ’ Neck Middle pickup: DiMarzio Model P Custom electronics: Volume for Will Powerβ’ Neck pickup Stacked Volume and Tone for the Model P Middle pickup. An absolute rock solid bass in construction and sound: something not to be assumed for being a cheap alternative bass whilst armed with USA Hipshot and Fender hardware or sounding less than a Yamaha Billy Sheehan BB714BS with actual DiMarzio pickups and not Yamaha own made pickups and electronics.
