Up for your consideration is a G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MDF bass in Silver Metallic finish. The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and it sounds fantastic. There is a little gap on the bottom of the top neck pocket but very minor and only cosmetic. Still has the protective plastic on the pick guard, super clean and ready to enjoy. This GL bass features an Alder body with a Rosewood fretboard and custom G&L "Ultra-Lite" tuners two G&L vintage MFD jazz pickups that deliver exceptional tone, clarity and versatility. Designed for players seeking advanced playability and classic style. This will come with the original Certificate of authenticity, and G&L deluxe gig bag.

When G&L closed its doors in October 2025, MIRC obtained the remaining inventory.  This instrument is one of the final production models to come off the G&L line in Fullerton, California.

The G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD combines the classic, highly playable Jazz Bass platform with G&L's powerful Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups, resulting in a bass that delivers exceptional tone, clarity, and increased output. These exclusive MFD jazz pickups offer a dynamic range far beyond traditional single-coils, suitable for virtually any style or setting. This model features a swamp ash or alder body and a Hard-Rock Maple neck with a comfortable 1.5-inch Medium C profile and 9.5-inch radius, ensuring smooth and effortless performance. The innovative Saddle-Lock bridge, another Leo Fender design, anchors the strings and efficiently transfers vibration directly into the body end-grain, maximizing both resonance and clarity for a powerful, articulate low-end.
