gargouill Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Hello, [u]for sale only[/u] is my new G&L Mj4 purchased this year on January on ebay.com. Cost me 1700 $. Bought at a time where i was still hoping that a jazz neck pickup could sound like a pbass pickup. The fact is that's not the case, even if pickup are humbuckers on this model ( coils side by side ) According to me, it sounds nearest a pbass pickup than a single coil jazz pickup would do. Nevermind, now i have accepted that and this G&L has to go because i prefer my passive Roscoe Beck which is a little bit more agressive on the rear pickup. So active only with bass, medium and treble boost/cut. Vol/bal. The particularity of the Mj4 is the "pbass" neck. I let you look at the custom build specifications ( not to my request ) Comes with a spare neck ( Value 600/700 $, tuners are not included ) I explain why: when i received the bass, i had difficulty to adjust neck ( truss rod access was difficult and i was frightened to force to put in the adjustement key in the nut ) So i call back seller and G&L send me another new neck. ( Since 2006, G&L truss rod process have changed and it arrives that truss rod acces is difficult..) The fact is that once the fear has passed, i succeed to adjust neck. Bass is perfectly playable, truss rod is a little bit hard to turn but works ( the tint is not exactly the same on the neck apart, the dots are black and not abalone and model logo delete ) With original hardcase, paper, tools. I can ship internationally. I'm used with shipping so it's well packaged and protected. Contact me for shipping cost. No trade please.

dmckee Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just out of curiosity, would you sell the spare neck separately? And possibly with the tuners? Cheers, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargouill Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) No because it's sold as an insurance. I could have sold the tuners but there are only 3 now because i used one to replace on another bass. Regards.
