zeronyne Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve seen one of these posts, so I’m proud to be the one to break the ice again. And I’m doubly proud to announce that I acquired this new fish from Dr Sweet Willie himself! G&L Kiloton 5 in a custom config which I believe is no longer available. Matching headstock in satin black, ebony fretboard. Alder body, maple neck, modern C profile, bone nut. I’ve seen pictures of William playing it live, but I see no dings or even scratches. And with this purchase, I’m done buying basses. I have a 4 string P, a 5 string Jazz, and a 4 string fretless Jazz. With this MM style, I can now cover all the bases I personally want to cover. 3 Quote "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Nice! VERY nice!!!! Enjoy, G&L makes great instruments. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Awesome! That's the one I tried to buy while working temporarily in North Carolina last winter, but it became unavailable so I settled for a swamp ash body with flame maple neck and fingerboard instead. The one you got is still on my radar though, possibly as a fretless model. This bass records very well BTW. I used it on an album project a couple of months ago and was quite impressed by how it sits in the mix. I use D'addario flats on mine. It takes well to any type of playing.

wraub Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Congrats on the new bass, and good to hear Dr. Dubs is well. It's been a minute since we talked. Play that bass well and often.

Steve Force Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 "done buying bases"....

RABid Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My current rule, for every bass or guitar I buy I have to sell two. ... So far I'm holding steady. Quote This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I think those are great basses. I almost bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hey - keep an eye on the neck. At this point it's probably fine, but a luthier I know has said that he's seen repairs on warped G&L necks. Looks SWEET (as you'd expect from Willie).
