If I were a J-bass guy, this would be a NBD and not a Southpaw Spotted.

That's close to half from a new one and this is less than a year old!

Holy crap, that's a smoking deal. Well below cost with the included features (PG upgrade and matching headstock)

I'm not usually a big fan of metallics but that is a real beauty.

Eeekk! Look at the bridge alignment and where the strings are aligned over the pickup poles. That could be the reason its cheap.. blem. You can't adjust the saddles horizontally on a G&L bridge.

Between April and June there may be a story. But even here it looks a little off.

G&L is generally really good about quality control. Surprised this skipped the QC. I had a new 2017 JB5 that was absolutely perfect that I unfortunately had to sell to Johntheleftybassist due to some incoming bills..... he claims he might be selling it. If so and you need a good 5 string, snag it!!!!

I'm impressed by how faithfully they're copying the Fender Jazz Bass.

Did they leave a gap in the neck pocket, too?

For that price you can still MacGyver it up and it's gonna be great! :P

Honestly that looks to me like a badly assembled neck joint. There's a good chance you'd be able to loosen the neck screws, tap the neck over to realign, and tighten it right back up.

* Not sure bout that but worth a try. Its not a Fender. The tolerances are much better on G&L's. Someone here buy it and let us know :D
