I like them a lot.
both my G&Ls are 1.5" at the nut.the L2000/L1000 are wider 1.75 at the nut,all 12" radius as standard,L series 4 strings can be ordered with the 1.5 neck too.I think all models come with an optional vintage 7.5" radius fingerboard.I'm not sure about the 5 string necks.
the necks on both mine are like jazz bass necks,quite rounded and deep at the back,Asat especially so,the Asat also suffers from a bit of neck dive but I dont even notice it now. they're more fender than musicman neck wise imo
The bottom end on G&L's is huge,the cherryburst Asat semi hollow I traded on these boards a few months ago was a bit of a beast in this respect.If tonyF chips in he'll confirm this.
other things I like are the saddle lock bridge,active or passive modes,and some really great finishes and options.
their other basses are both passive : the SB-2 which is G&L's hot P/J and the JB-2 which is their Jazz bass with 2 alnico single coils (the only bass they do without the MFDs)
I miss that semi-hollow

I wouldnt, but as said previous,if you're not getting on with it why keep it?

strange youre not finding a sound you like out the G&L. is it too toppy sounding? do you have the treble boost on all the time?. if you havent tried already,run it in passive mode a while and back off the volume a bit.the MFD pups are fairly hot,but its more organic,woody and warm sounding with the preamp off imo.

not sure if this goes here or for sale section

[b]Got my Stingray 5 and this Sterling is staying put (for now)[/b]


Just got a USA G&L SB-2 yesterday off BB2000(lovin it!) I like new bass days and I fancy something new (to me) again and soon, so looking at my basses I realise I dont need 2 Sterlings,especially when the the only differences are in the colour and fingerboard material.I'm keeping the white sparkle one on account of the fact it took me such a long time finding one and I prefer the rosewood board on it so I'm offering this 04 CAR Sterling up in trade or part/ex against the following :

MM SR5/Bongo 5, something by Lakland with 5 strings,mebe a G&L 5. would consider others too but I'm pretty much a G&L/MM guy so a bit picky.I could also be interested in another 4 string

[u]In the unlikely event you have a G&L JB-2 you want to trade I'm absolutely all ears.[/u]

I'm not really looking to sell,prefer to trade at this point as the money will just go back out on one of the above anyway

Pics and details are on the basschatters review pages

these pics were posted up by a a member of the musicman forum,Randracula,they're his pics from the weekend.

the colour's rootbeer - and I'm wanting a Sterling 5 string like this one but with a rosewood board.

pics please?

I have SIT super hooks (no ball end) on my Axis - they're excellent tone wise and seem to stay brighter than Slinkys,D'Addario et al .I bought a dozen sets from The Guitar Store in Glasgow a while back back,not sure if they still stock the brand though

Now with pics

sorry I didnt like about the Streamer Std when I owned one - carolena body wood looked cheap and felt it too
I'd honestly save the extra for a LX or a ProM or a Corvette Std
I also think a SUB would be worth more than an extra 30 notes over a Streamer Std

I got an Alesis Phlngr thats just an "a" out

"New, they retail $1,999 so this really is a deal!"

looks better now than he did 25 years ago - he was just a wee fattie then with a perm and a bandana.

Numan carries a baseball bat around in his car so I'm sure he'd still say what he liked to his face

PM'd

bought the EH Nano Dr Q from me. thanks for that!

top bloke to deal with

my favourite by a mile was Jo Dworniak. he had a band in the 80s called I-Level which I didnt care much for but his work on John Foxx's The Garden and The Golden section was just stellar.incidentally I saw Foxx perform the Metamatic album in its entirety along with the B-sides and Burning Car on the 1st night of the tour in October.going to see Siouxsie in March as well. guess you never lose what you grew up with.

Barry Adamson was a great player in my estimation - he done all the Visage stuff too

Derek Forbes - vastly underrated - his basslines on Sons & Fascination and New Gold Dream are amazing.

Paul Gardiner - not really a great technical player but his basslines on Tubeway Army/replicas/Pleasure principle and Telekon were played with weight. shame he died of an OD in 83

Chris Cross's early work with Ultravox was varied,melodic and mostly on a P-bass. not so sure about the moog 8th note bass on much that followed

Fiction factory - cant remember the bass players name but the bassline on Throw the warped wheel out is memorable

Slimming down my 6 string collection a bit for more bass gear so this lovely electro acoustic has to go



[b]Model 1860 Custom Balladeer
1993 made in USA
Black,
solid spruce top,
shallow bowl cutaway,
2pc mahogany neck - prominent "V" profile -(dead comfy!)
rosewood fingerboard
diamond inlays at 12th fret only
Ovation FET-3 preamp
Ovation hardcase[/b]



The guitar is in superb condition.really looked after.there are a couple of small laquer splits by the bridge but these are purely cosmetic,and common to these guitars.everything works as it should and it sounds the mutts nutts through a PA or acoustic amp. I also will include an Ovation Feedback buster which blocks off the soundhole for live use.


heres the spec from the Ovation site

looking for 350 notes + postage
could be tempted to part ex for the usual suspects with me (MusicMan,G&L,Fender American Series etc)

welcome. snoop around!

just to say,if this is the Duncan STC 3M preamp the push/pull activates their "slap switch". theres a couple of trim pots on the pre amp board for bass boost and mid cut. going between the 2 sounds works great.

BUMP for a great looking/featured StingRay

[quote name='lukeward2004' post='114954' date='Jan 6 2008, 08:44 PM']Nice bass - looks remarkably like the Spector 5 that Alun (homerplaysbass) used to have a few years ago.

If it is indeed the same one then it is a real cracking bass![/quote]

'tis the one.

got this Spector from TonyF here on BC back in october.I believe previously she was the property of a few other basschatters as well.

lovely looking L2K

did you get my PM re the pedalboard?
