Post subject:  G&L JB2 USA w/ Nordstrands For Sale
Up for sale is my USA made G&L JB2 which has Nordstrand NJ4 pickups installed (professionally). I custom ordered this bass about 1 1/2 years ago from Greg at Rocket Music with these specs:
Ash body with Clear Forest Green finish (really pretty color)
Maple fretboard
#6 neck (1 1/2" nut and 7.5" radius)
I have the original pickups which I will ship with the bass. It has the original plastic hardshell case. The bass is in near mint condition - I can't find a mark on it. It is average weight - 9 lbs approx by the bathroom scale method.
Reason for sale - I might be relocating due to work so I need to thin out my collection.
This bass sounds and plays great - nice vintage jazz tone from the Nordstrand pickups.
G&Ls don't have great resale I know so I am trying to price realistically:
$650 plus shipping (I live near Albany NY USA). I am not opposed to international shipping but I have never done it so you will have to explain to me how to do it. I usually use UPS when shipping within the US so I would prefer to do that but I could be persuaded to use someone else. New the bass was $1250. Quality is first rate!
PM me if interested. Thanks for looking.
Pics (sorry about the poor quality, I am not a good photographer as you can see). Best pic first:

The green looks great against the maple neck! Good luck on your sale....

Nice bass, good luck with the sale.

I too am a lousy photographer. i found that a $30 tripod from Best Buy improved my skills exponentially.

What difference did the Nordstrands make to the sound?

The Nordstands have a sweeter sound; the stock pickups were to harsh and clangy to me. It sounded like the stock ones had too much high end. the Nordstrands have a more even balance between low, mid and high, they have nice low end but still snappy on the top end.

I'm betting G&L build quality plus Nordy pickups adds up to be one mean bass.

Is it possible to purchase just a g&l lefty neck that fits and is fretless?

Not sure about that, from what I've read at the bassesbyleo forum the G&L company will sometimes make replacement necks but you have to send them the bass and it takes a while, and think it's pricy. Could be that you could get a replacement neck but I am not sure what neck would fit. Sorry.

You could defret the neck on this or have a fretless board put on it for cheaper than getting a replacement from G+L.

Wish I had a buyer for my Hohner that's listed on here. I'd buy it. Are you sure you dont want to consider a trade? It's a lefty 5 string. And since it's headless it takes up a lot less room. :D

would you trade for an Ibanez 300dxl + cash? The Ibanez is actually a pretty sweet bass, very fast neck

also, i'd buy this for $500, if i didn't just pay 1,100 for my carvin.

Sweet deal!

Where are you located? How much is shipping to Battle Creek Michigan?

Also, are you including the stock pickups in the deal or are you willing to sell them separately?

Peace.

I am near Albany NY shouldn't be too expensive to ship to MI I can get a quote if you want. Hadn't thought of selling pickups separately, I guess I could if you are interested. PM me if you are :)
