G&L Kiloton Bass - Candy Apple Red

About this bass:
Weight: 8.4 pounds

G & L ceased operations in 2025.  My supplier, MIRC, purchased all of their remaining brand new inventory.  We gave it a fresh polish when we received it, these are the last of their kind made by G & L, when these are gone that is the end of the line.  Check out some of the reviews online, they rave about this bass, and after testing it myself I agree, this is a keeper.
All protective covers are still on the bass, ships in the original box with accessories.

Description:

The verdict became clear so fast it would have put that wry grin on Leo’s face: the Made-in-Fullerton Kiloton is a smash-hit. Demand from players and musicians alike for a Tribute® Series version thundered with the same visceral punch as the bass itself delivers. And the moment of impact is now: meet the new G&L® Tribute Series Kiloton.

Just like its Made-in-Fullerton brother, the Tribute Series Kiloton features the most comfortable bass body ever created by Leo Fender. It’s compact and pure, with every curve and contour perfectly executed. The Tribute Series Kiloton delivers maximum firepower from its single G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucker, planted right in the sweet spot specified by Leo Fender back when the G&L factory was still called CLF Research.

The Tribute Series Kiloton’s single Made-in-Fullerton MFD ‘bucker fires without the aid of a preamp, while a 3-position series/split/parallel toggle harnesses the coils’ power. Simple volume and tone controls are devastatingly effective, revealing a wide range of textures Leo’s MFD bucker is famous for. What’s more, the Tribute Series Kiloton is armed with a Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer all the energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.

FAQ, frequently asked questions

Why was this guitar sent to MIRC? G & L ceased operations in 2025.  MIRC purchased all of their remaining inventory, resulting in my ability to offer a brand new guitar at a great price

Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it?  All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box.  However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and  getting bumped around during shipping.  Also some players like to set up a new guitar to their own personal preferences.
