mcnach Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I bought this lovely bass from a fellow basschatter here back in January this year: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116690-gl-l2500-tribute-5-string/page__hl__g%26amp%3Bl+l2500__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] I paid £425 plus postage then. I am asking for[b] £400 including postage[/b]. I was amazed at the condition of this bass when I got it, it barely had any marks, and it still looks that way. A true sonic beast. It's a fantastic bass, but my 5-string needs are lower than my cash needs, and my SUB5 suits me better... so after much meditation, I came to the conclusion that this bass should probably go. I will add some more pictures later, but here's one to give you an idea: [i][b]Edit: MORE PICTURES FURTHER DOWN[/b][/i] Edited October 14, 2011 by mcnach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon1964 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This used to be mine! It really is an outstanding bass, and has the nicest five string neck I've played. I'd be tempted to buy it back if I had use for a five string! Have a free bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this man says is all true. I recall you sold it and wanted a 4-string version of it... That's exactly my plan for the future, once I get some finances in order. Really good bass.

mcnach Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 [quote name='magicbass' timestamp='1317547410' post='1391614'] Hi is the bass still 4 sale? many thanks Dino 07904 436 760 [/quote] Hi, yes, it is for sale although there's two other members of this forum who have expressed a serious interest and are discussing things. Have you changed your mobile phone recently? I noticed you used a different number in another thread recently. Just making sure [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/152538-yamaha-trb1005j-sold/page__p__1354883#entry1354883"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/152538-yamaha-trb1005j-sold/page__p__1354883#entry1354883[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 whilst I am not looking for a trade, as I can use the cash... there are some situations where I would consider a trade/part-exchange what situations? 1) White MusicMan SUB... although I don't really need another Stingray... 2) Natural + maple G&L L2000 Tribute. These G&L are delicious 3) Fiesta Red Fender Jazz. In particular the roadworn series are tasty (despite the "relicing", which i don't care for). Cash adjustment either way when/if appropriate. But I should not be looking at more toys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 ha ha I know the feeling exactly... nearly a year ago I succumbed to its beauty myself, and I'm very upset that I did not do it justice. If only I could remove one string and sand the edge of the fretboard to turn it into a L2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bass departed this morning, after I plucked it a few minutes for the last time... tears... This is not the last G&L I'll ever own, that's for sure. Somewhere, there's an L2000 with my name on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
