“Godlyke Inc. is a music equipment distributer founded in 1998 by Kevin Bolembach and George Schwab. As well as selling other brands, Godlyke also distributes its own brand Godlyke Basses which are hand-made in Japan. They feature an ergonomically-designed body shape, dual SGC pickups with 18-volt active electronics and Gotoh hardware.”

apparently

They were hand made by Deviser (Bacchus, STR, Momose, Seventy-Seven, etc) to a really high standard. I've had this one for over 10 years, it came with stock US Bartolini pickups paired with the Godlyke preamp. I've had a few US Stingrays come and go but the Godlyke stays. The neck is really, really nice. Jazz width nut with an almost flat fretboard and one of the finest fret jobs you'll ever see.

I used to have a 5er twin but sold it on a few years ago after I realised 5 strings were not for me

Whoever buys Andy's one will be onto a winner.

Apologies for the old thread revival- been advised to say hi to Andy (I still have your lovely blue SR5 which is a keeper and I’ve already done a few shows with!). Just somehow ended up with (oops) an SGC deity prototype (I think) which is mint apart from minor fret end lift (a dry ebony board I think) and needing pre amp EQ tinkering with (deep cleaning or replacing the pots with a bit of luck). Just lack of use for 25+ years I think (batteries were from 2001!) 


Great build quality, even with minor issues
