Some really interesting history about G&L here if you're keen to read up on it. I really enjoyed going down the rabbit hole with this bass. I will keep my SB1 forever and fully believe that the USA and Tribute G&L basses are one of the best kept secrets in the business. Those that know how good they are know!

For sale is this beautiful 1982 G&L L2000E. There's every reason to see why this bass was at the top of the evolutionary tree of Leo Fender's run of successful instruments. This bass is outstanding in many respects, with a fantastic EQ and switching system. You can read all about the bass and my research into the evolution of the L2K itself in this thread It comes with it's original case (which is a bit battered, but, like the bass, it's been used not abused - perfectly functional and looks great. The bass is strung with Elixir 40-100 strings and is set up for a low action with dead straight neck. The bass weighs 10.3lbs (4.6kg) which is pretty good for these mahogany bodied early E series basses. It balances really well and has a deliciously smooth and gently worn neck which has slowly turned a lovely dark amber colour over time. The electronics work perfectly and are incredibly flexible, whilst offering some great core sounds with very little fiddling. You can read more about them on the thread or the document I've added below which is also inside the case. Everything Is 100% original and unmodified (though I contemplated doing the 'K mod' to offer the addition of outer coil only mode, any tech can do it quite easily if you want to!) Any questions let me know. I'm in York and would prefer to meet halfway and deliver however postage could be an option if fully insured and added to the price if you're massively far away. I'm only selling because over xmas I had a real decent amount of time to compare and contrast my basses and rationalise what I have accumulated over the last few years. There will be more sales to come in a few days! Cheers ped

Boss Waza Air now available for bass. Personal Amp System.
ped replied to dave_bass5's topic in Amps and Cabs
The various amp models, effects and the way they work are as near as identical as I can tell to my VB99 - the difference being the headphones themselves (the WAZA have a slightly less flat response to my main headphone setup which is easily compensated for) I’ve never tried any other boss or Roland multis though at least not recently. I assume the core processing and COSM technology is the same. You can’t Improve on perfect! -
In fact, the very few people who are technically ‘banned’ are so because they asked to be!

I’m in York if you’d like to try my SB1 at some point it’s my favourite P bass by some margin!

I think it’s only right that you should and report back to us all

It took me years untilI realised that sticky backed plastic meant sellotape

I can’t get used to the scale length

I’ve been told to spend less on bass gear in 2022 so I’m buying a 70s P bass in parts! I was thinking about putting this in a stand as a shelf object in the man cave but for now I’ve hung it on the wall. Pretty cool I think! The tuners are original but the s/n has worn off so I don’t know anything more about it. I might have bought this whilst pissed over Xmas. ped

I always play in drop D and use 40-100 strings. No problem, I like the feel and tension.

These little bits are just the icing on the cake - I’m just so pleased that the thing sounds so good. Oh actually I also noticed that if I choose standby to be sound as suing rather than motion sensing (on the transmitter) it always ends up being motion mode. Maybe firmware updates will help. -

Yes I barely use the app now that I have my clean patches sorted. I’d prefer the side buttons to be assignable like on the VB99 that would be super cool -

ped replied to dave_bass5's topic in Amps and Cabs
Has anyone figured out the live set thing? I’ve got six slots (almost one for each bass) currently, all ‘clean’ and pretty flat. If I press the up/down channel buttons it might switch to a different one and it can be hard to tell and get back to the right one. What I’d like to have is six patches per instrument so each bass has a clean then five ‘effected’ patches. Easy to get back to clean if I switch by accident and if I switch basses I can use the app to open a new ‘set’ In my head that’s how it should work but the app is a bit weird layout wise so I’m not sure how to achieve it!! -
Ratio Machine Heads by Graphtech. Any thoughts?
ped replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Accessories and Misc
Does anyone know if they will be a drop in replacement for these (hipshot HB1 I think?) They look the same but they don’t provide any dimensions and on the guitar section there’s some guff about matching mounting plates https://graphtech.com/collections/ratio-machine-heads-bass/products/bass-ratio-4-in-line-classic-clover-leaf-button-chrome -

You can’t thru-charge. I have found my cans last longer than 5 hours I guess that’s the average. -
I like the original white. Sets the blue off nicely. Looks more chilled

I predict an Xmas of having to constantly remove your headphones and say ‘what?’ -
Still my fave. Pale flat green ones. Doesn’t have the massive sweep of the later ones and sounds more even.
