NBD - Wunkay

Years ago i got to borrow a friend’s ‘81 G&L L1000, and it’s haunted me ever since.
I’m turning 40 tomorrow, and things have been rough the past couple years (as we all have experienced), so i decided to splurge. I couldn’t find a Birth Year Bass that was in my price range (that’s another thing that kinda sucks about getting older), so i bought a brand new (demo priced) L1000 in purple sparkle, because i decided to be extra like that.

It just showed up today. Plays well, sounds killer.
I’ll take it to my gig tonight and see what she does.
I won’t know if she’s a keeper until i put a few gigs on her, but so far, i’m really digging it!

I’ll keep everyone posted.

Worked for one of the OG G&L retailers, had the chance to buy one of the first Wunkays new and it's haunted me ever since.

Super nice - HBD!

I dig that color! The L-1000 was my 1st G&L back in 1980/81. Not keeping it has haunted me! I think I could own your bass and be very happy! They are one throaty instrument.
Enjoy!!
