maut Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) GBP 600 EUR 685,- This one is rare, not many of these made it to Europe. It was a fretless with ebony fingerboard, later it was converted to a fretted bass. That´s why the side markers on the neck are rather ON the frets, not inbetween. These are amazing and underrated basses! The pickup is located at the sweet spot like on a Precision. The electronics are passive with volume, trebel and bass controls. The switch is parallel/single coil/OMG. The OMG position features a unique option, it´s single coil plus the low frequencies from the second coil. This really sounds amazing, fat and loud, many players only use this. The bass sounds like a P bass on steroids! This is an early lawsuit one, Fender sued G&L because the headstock reminded too much of a Fender and they had to change te design in late 1982. It has been played a lot, there are many sings of use, some checking on the black finish, please check the pics. The back of the neck is still perfect. There are two extra holes between pickup and bridge from a thumbrest. It´s not a lightweight, it weighs 4,5kg like an early Stingray. I´m in Berlin, shipping is no problem.

LukeFRC Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I believe the correct response in German to this is "Geil" i picked up a '81 L1000 last year and it became my main bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have a strange compulsion to collect an instrument from each of Leo's companies. I am strong enough to resist it, but it is there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumnote Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 How wide is the neck at the nut please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maut Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 The width at the nut is 43mm. The shape of the neck is D type and not very fat, so the neck plays comfortable and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
