Members Thunderbroom Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 He's asking for $750 shipped, but seems to be open to negotiation. I've got the cash but am thinking that I can get him a bit lower. I've been pushing the "pimped" look, but I've always love the look of natural finishes ever since I played a natural jazz bass the very first time I performed in public. This is an older model with the three bolt neck. The newer ones I believe are six. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 Do it. Natural on maple is the sexiest. That's what my bass is going to look like when it's fisnished. Try $650 and then $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vinny D Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just from looking at the picture of that bass I can tell it's not for you, don't even waste your time thinking about it....better yet just tell me where it's located so I can dispose of it for you;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wanderlusterer Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 Give it up mang, just jam. Put some electronics on the duct tape bass and have a laser show! Strong as you're becoming drawn to the darkside, the GAS it is. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't tryin' ta force yer hand man, but I seriously gotta get that car fixed! I'll probably regret it later on down the road giving it up, but the slow season is kicking in at work....

Members Captain Fathead Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 To be fair, most ASATs that aren't on the bay go for around $750. I'd see if you can get $700 for it. If it's not a local seller, $700 shipped would be amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm thinking of this final G&L layout:ASAT: Tuned BEADL-2500 Trib: Tuned BEADGL-2000: Tuned EADGI'm actually thinking of selling the L-2000 and getting maybe an SB-2. The L2K is way more versatile but the SB2 has some serious mojo going on. If you do get an SB2 I would say try to find an older one and try to find one ith the tone modification already done...although you could have Kindness do it fairly quickly I would imagine.

Members DevilRaysFan Posted October 28, 2007 Members Share Posted October 28, 2007 Bottom Row 1 That is my #1 Pride and Joy and I will part with all else before I ever part with it I highly recommend it T-Broom ( But you already have a G&L: the tone difference is negligible except that I do find ASATs to be a tad brighter than L-2000s/2500s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SB-2 would work fine for you, but since you have an L-2000 you like and an L-2500 you like, perhaps there is something about the pickup/preamp config that you like? Regarding your posting in the other thread, maybe the ASAT is the way to go and not the SB-2 , simply because the tonal variety on the L's and ASATs are greater. You also aren't a fan of pick guards, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted November 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2007 The guy that owns the bass in the orginal post isn't budging. We're only $25 apart. If he drops the price, I'll likely get it it. It seems neither of us is really willing to deal. I'm now looking at this one: From the description: "light blue finish with with cream binding and matching headstock was a custom color made for a NAMM show, and may be one of a kind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frunobulax Posted November 1, 2007 Members Share Posted November 1, 2007 the blue one doesn't float my boat, but to each his own. i did like the orangey one you posted a few days ago. the natural one, however, is a beauty. (i nearly bought a L-2500 in that finish and neck arrangement) if it was me, and i really wanted that bass, i wouldn't want to lose the deal over $25.
