I just received this in the past month from my buddy at G&L and as much as I love it, I can't get used to the 17mm string spacing of the G&L's. All my Spector 5's are 17mm but they get played strung very low and a totally different bass. I guess I am just more comfortable with a 19mm Wide 5 string Jazz Bass.

Soooo, ill be posting more pics shortly but here are a few for starters.

G&L JB5 Left Handed Bass - Made in Fullerton, CA
Finish: Piano Black
Matching Headstock *upcharge
Light Ash Body *upcharge
Hard Rock Maple Neck (Satin Clear - this neck is stable and fast and 9.5" radius)
Med Jumbo Frets and Plek'd at the factory
B/W/B Pickguard (still has protective plastic on it)
Black Pearl Face Dots
34" Scale
Bone Nut *upcharge
G&L Mass Aluminum locking bridge
HipShot Style Tuners
G&L Custom Alnico Pickups
Passive Electronics (Vol/Vol/Tone)
G&L Tolex Hard Fitted Case (great case)
note: Dunlop Straplocks will be removed and originals put back on.

Absolutely Mint condition. Only selling to put funds away for a wider spacing Jazz Bass. Wait time on these can vary but this one is ready to go.

$1425 Shipped Lower48 Only.... This bass new would run 1800+ Shipped.

There are some interests already but thought I would put it up here for a bit. I also reserve the right to come to my senses and pull my listing.

Times like these I really wish I was born into money, invented something that made me millions, or had married a Sugar-Mama! :)

If that was a 4 without the matching headstock, I'd be all over it.
