***now traded***

***Now £375***

Up for sale is a great example of a five string G&L, a really versatile and powerful sounding bass.

5 string

Ash/maple

34" scale

2x ceramic USA made G&L MFD pickups

3 way pickup selector switch

2 way series/parallel switch

3 way passive/active/active with treble boost switch

Passive bass tone control

Passive treble tone control

 

I've measured the neck dimensions and string spacing with a vernier:

width at 1st fret 47.27mm

depth at 1st fret 21.75mm

width at 12th fret 63.58mm

depth at 12th fret 26.99mm

string spacing at 12th fret 19mm

string spacing at 1st fret 10mm

 

This bass has seen me very well over the last couple of years, but I seem to prefer 35" scale basses now and have seen something I want, so, you know, GAS.

The bass I was selling this to fund has now sold, so would certainly be intetested in trading for a Yamaha TRB1005J, Lakland 55-01 or possibly other 35" scale 5 strings.

I'm in Eastbourne on the south coast, I have a spare case, but it's a (tatty) gig bag, that is good to get you home and not a lot more, so would prefer collection.

At work, the despatch team work for me, so they can probably pack it if you want to arrange a courier. I'm also happy to discuss meeting up if you don't live too far away.

These are the only photos I have on my phone, more added below

Spoiler

It's a lovely day, so seemed like a good opportunity to get some more photos in the garden

I'm happy to discuss meeting up and am willing to drive a little way to meet you if needs be :)

Also, I have a (tatty) gig bag that I can give you with it, though it is very much a get-me-home case

Ooooh baby. I heard the necks on these are quite chunky tho?

Deeper than my Lakland certainly, not uncomfortable though, I'll see if I can look up some specs

From the G&L website, it looks like the neck dimensions should be:

1 ¾” Medium C 5 1 ¾” nut width, generous edge roll, medium taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.940” at 12th fret. Starts out just like the 4-string 1 ¾” medium C and fans out to a wider heel. These specs were part of the #10 neck. For 5-string basses only.

I'll try and remember to take it to work tomorrow and get a digital vernier on it and I'll get it weighed at the same time

Bump, I keep forgetting to bring it back into work to weigh it on the shipping scales; will try and remember tomorrow.

Don't have a 5 string but do have a Spector Q6 (6 string bass) to trade if you interest.

Tempting, but I've got my eye on something at the moment, thanks 😀

No worries, I'm testing the market as well as I decided 6 string is not my thing and I wanted a 5 string instead. I may part exchange this to the shop as well depend on what they got.
