1983 G&L SB-2 Excellent Condition

Post by bhunt1 »

This is a rarebird - 1983 G&L SB-2. First generation SB-2 w MFD jazz style pickups. Excellent condition, nary a mark on it. Maple body with a white finish that has yellowed slightly for that vintage look. It's a little on the heavy side as are many early G&Ls. Maple neck is stable, nice low action. Old but functional hardshell case - not original. $900 plus shipping. Pics here:

Great looking bass, I always think the early MM and early G&L have a cool "Prototype" look to them.

Thanks guys!

I know a couple righties who play first-gen SB-2s and they never shut up about them. I had no idea that a lefty even existed. I'm pretty excited to try this out.
