Up for your consideration is a custom option G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB in Jet Black finish. The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and feature the G&L Vintage Alnico Jazz pickups that sound fantastic. This Deluxe JB has an Alder body with a maple neck that features uncommon an black Block fingerboard inlays and tortoise pick guard that still has the protective plastic on it. This will come with the original Certificate of authenticity and 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 is all about refinement, merging the time-honored feel of a classic Jazz Bass with modern improvements and superb, USA-made craftsmanship. This model features two G&L vintage Alnico jazz pickups that deliver the familiar, articulate single-coil tone but with enhanced clarity and depth. Built on an alder body for rich, traditional tone, the bass features a slim, Hard-Rock Maple neck with a comfortable 1.5-inch Medium C profile and 9.5-inch radius for silky playability.

The tone and resonance are further maximized by the innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge, which efficiently anchors the strings and transfers energy directly into the body end-grain, resulting in an incredibly resonant instrument that projects a time-honored yet subtly progressive vibe.
