gary mac Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) [center]G&L SB2 1989.[/center] [center]Didn’t think I would be doing this but circumstances change and so I’m selling my Vintage U.S. SB2.[/center] [center]I honestly think a better example would be hard to find. Twenty seven years old, in amazing, almost as new condition.[/center] [center]With its original hard case, key and tools.[/center] [center]Hang tag and registration card.[/center] [center]Completely original.[/center] [center]Ash body with sunburst finish.[/center] [center]Black crinkle coated aluminium pick guard.[/center] [center]Maple neck and fret board.[/center] [center]Radius: 7.25”[/center] [center]Width at nut: 38 mm.[/center] [center]Weight: 8lb 14 oz.[/center] [center]Magnetic Field Design Precision neck pick up.[/center] [center]Magnetic Field Design Jazz bridge pick up.[/center] [center]This is a very impressive gigging bass. The MFD pick ups ensure that it can always be clearly heard, every note is articulate and clear.[/center] [center]There is no tone control on this bass, just a volume control for each of the pups.[/center] [center]I thought that this might be a problem and that I would need to have it modified. It wasn’t the case though, as the amount of tonal variation and volume on offer, by just blending the two pups, is huge. It can go from vintage Precision or Jazz, through to full on aggressive modern (I know, not the best description of a sound). Just a little tweaking of the controls really does impact on the tone/volume output.[/center] [center]Bodywork/finish is almost pristine, there are a couple of slight blemishes not significant enough to show up in the photos.[/center] [center]The fretwork is very good, no wear, no sharp edges, no buzzing, no dead spots.[/center] [center]Neck has the micro tilt adjuster, so no shims ever required.[/center] [center]All the hardware is top quality.[/center] [center]Everything functions perfectly.[/center] [center]The hard case offers a high level of protection and is also in excellent condition.[/center] [center]I haven’t as yet taken any under the hood shots or with the neck off. I’m reluctant to as I don’t think anything has been disturbed since being built. I wouldn’t want to lose a sale over it though, so let me know if this is a problem.[/center] [center]My asking price is £995[/center] [center]Cash or Bank Transfer.[/center] [center]Sorry but not interested in any trades at the moment, other than a Barefaced Cab, maybe.[/center] [center]I would be much happier for the buyer to collect from my place in Herts but I will post if necessary.[/center] [center]If posting is required please advice and I will get a quote to you.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zwCzX4"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/yyJhdU"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zvKTyx"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9VGQ"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9Qo3"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ztriLS"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9gz7"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7tqN"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7gVU"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7bNQ"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/yyGn3h"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zefJ2z"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zefDnV"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zuFVtq"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zvHii2"][/url][/center] Edited April 19, 2016 by gary mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Gorgeous bass, better than my 85 SB1 in both condition and it has the 2nd pickup. Someone will get an outstanding bass with the original smooth headstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_Taylor Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Man, if I hadn't just blown £700 on a computer for work, I'd have bought this without a single question. It looks like it's brand new! Would you accept a kidney as a down payment? I can see this selling quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumour6 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have an L-2500, so a convert; that said... if you play a four, can't decide between a Jazz and a P and like to 'be there' live whichever you choose.. this is it... bar none. I love what the G&Ls do at low volume but when you're live, in a mix and trying to 'get through'.. 'tis the dogs. can't believe the condition/ I'd always been a Fender man... take the punt, well worth it. Leo was right!!!! GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
