Shiiiiiiiiiiiii.... I was just thinking tonight that maybe I should consider a 5-string. This would be my first choice.

Oh well, I was GAS free for about four months I guess.

How about a Sting Ray?

Ha! I actually saw that one this morning, but didn't feel like posting it from my phone.

Someday I want to hack myself together an HH Stingray. I always play a righty when I visit the GC near my in-laws, and I love every position of that blade switch.

How about a Bongo? I figured the electronics are largely the same, but I don't really know, for sure.

They seem to be fairly different animals tone wise. Maybe if I tried one I'd like it. But I'm not really a fan of the look.

Snatched it (L2500). I was just thinking this afternoon that I would like a 34" 5 and preferably another G&L. I did a search and there it was. Trans red has also been on my list of colors I have had in the past that I miss so this was a nice fit.

Nice score! Reverb emailed me that someone had made an offer. Enjoy it!

If I didn't have to move some basses myself I would have TOTALLY snagged this when listed. Its an older one. This is a good catch.. Congrats!!!!

Thanks folks !! I know these hardware-wise pretty well so hopefully it will be in good shape for set up. If not off to the luthier for any major fretwork. They are heavy suckers but have such great tone and a great B.
