GMR Soundboard custom 4 HSC 8lb price drop £650 £750 Bristol

Probably best if I link to the original owners ad from last year for the first of details:

It is a lovely bass, however soon after buying it I picked up an Ibanez ATK on a whim and arrived at the conclusion that nothing short of a USA sterling or older stingray 5 (for the ceramic p/up plus switching options) will do for me.

 

In terms of changes since I bought it, I've just raised the action and tweaked pickup height to my preference, removed glow in the dark markers from the neck and bought a hardshell case for it. It currently has Dunlop strap locks on, but will change it back to the schaller buttons it came with unless buyer wants the dunlops.

 

The only thing I'd add as a note to condition, is the slight raised top edge of the control panel cover which I've tried to show in photos, a few little dings/marks around the jack socket, and some slight shiny spots from player wear. All in all though, looks and plays great.

 

I'm Bristol based and would prefer pick up/meet up but I think if the case was packed out a little to stop movement internally and then boxed up, it would probably be fine to post, would just need to sort a box for it.

 

Asking £650 collected. Need the cash ideally, but conscious this is a bit niche so will consider trades if it's something I could easily move on.

Love how the pickup covers and control knobs are all made of the same maple as the fingerboard.

 

Good luck with the sale!

Whats the weight on this? I remember seeing this first time around a recall it being described as lightweight. Cheers.

Apparently a smidge under 7lbs, but I've luggage scales on the way to check!

Have just done a weigh in with my cheapo eBay luggage scales and readings averaged almost bang on 8lbs, 3.65kg.

It really is enormously versatile, like a more refined/polished version of my old G&L L2000. if finances allowed it would be a keeper, but my days of keeping a 'stable' are long gone (alongside the days of having disposable income 😁).
