Edited my 2 posts to this one...
thought i would add mine, all USA.
great story for the one on the left.
I got it from a shop in birkenhead about 20 years ago it was 2nd hand then but as new.
about 2 years later i sold it to a chap in manchester, for the cash to get something which was pants... so then all the time i wished i had never sold it
then about 3 years ago i spotted it on ebay, when i contacted the seller it was the chap i sold it to, he never used it and it sat under his bed all that time, so it was pulled from ebay and i got it back £100 less than he paid for it in the same as new condition with tags and original G&L fender type case also as new, its the 3 bolt one just as they changed from having the plate on the front with leo fenders sig on the head stock, its going nowhere this time.
The black Beast...
Iv been after one of these for years, i have a wanted ad on here from years ago still running
and bagged this 1981/2 not long ago and am positively BUZZIN,, Very powerfull defined sound,
I just need an EBONY fretless (pref with hog body) and an all natural necked one now.... (another 5 years of lookin,)
anyone got one for sale ?
The translucent red is one of the best basses i have ever played its heavy at 8.3kg which i love
this thing is as powerfull as my wal and it will growll spit and fart if you dig in hard and the slap sound would pin you to the back wall, mr king or mr johnson would love it im sure, to me its the ultmate funk bass, super low action great neck and is now with the wal my main bass.
The one on the right has a quilted maple top which is a custom order ( you can order this top from the web page), which is one of the best tops i have seen on a G&L along with a few on this page ( photo does not do this one justice) its lighter than the other two, 6 bolt wider fast neck again great clear slap tone but not as much body or punch in the sound as the other three, a bit thinner sounding in the lower mid and again in the low end.
to sum up, i think the G&Ls are amongst the best production bass on the planet, there is nothing they wont do, and what ever they do they do VERY WELL, an all time great all rounder.
am i waffling now.... ..... ok al shut up.
brace yourselvs
