    [quote name='Shaggy' post='51745' date='Aug 28 2007, 02:04 PM']Are the maple boards on EB MM's lacquered or oiled? Lacquered board on my Sabre still pristine after nearly 30 years. IMHO you can't beat maple on any Fender-derived bass aesthetically, never noticed any tone difference except on fretless (when it has to be ebony).[/quote]

    G&L ASAT Semi-Hollow

    in Gear Gallery

    Posted

    Sibob,the gold one I got from geddy's nose back in March of this year for £550 and with the cash difference against my Bongo the hollowbody worked out the same.I dont ever see them for sale with retailers here,maybe someone else here knows who sells them in the UK. I do keep an eye on ebay and a company called Nitrotone Music in the states,who do the odd G&L blowout deal.Buffalo bros are another US retailer who move quite a few G&Ls.I got my Legacy 6 stringer from them.

    tonewise maybe another ASAT or L2K/L2500 owner can chime in and describe them better.to me they're G&L and just different from most out there. big and bold and most definetely versatile I'd say :)


    and Si,I've no plans to move on the gold one.I've grown very very fond of this bass since I got it from you.It earns its keep.

    cheers

    G&L ASAT Semi-Hollow

    Sibob,

    The two sound further apart acoustically than they do plugged in, the MFD pickups and the electronics are the same on both
    Lots of different tones from them both,and its fairly easy with a couple of switch throws to jump from one usable tone to another. In a band setting they cut through much better than my musicman and sound bigger too. I prefer the sound of these basses and the L2000s to any other I've heard.
    They dont balance the greatest but if you play with the neck angled up a bit when standing then its fine.
    I just love the look,vibe,tone and aura of these basses.imo they are pretty special :)

    Musicman Bongo- your views

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I've got a 4 string Bongo with the humbucker and single coil and its a bit of a tone monster.

    good bits

    big big tone with a a lot of variety
    compensated nut for great intonation across the neck- harmonics pop out all over
    super fast low action on mine without any rattles or choking off notes
    24 frets (if thats your thing)
    feels indestructible
    neck single coil sounds great solo'd
    4 band EQ is well voiced imo
    did I say tone? this thing sounds huge,fat, and with a smooth hi-fi sounding tone
    (the sounds are the best thing about teh Bongo imo)


    bad bits

    neck pickup bit close to the edge of the fingerboard
    lower horn juts into my leg when playing seated
    possibly I hear more electronics than wood in the sounds(not sure this is necessarily a bad thing)
    looks still seem odd to me
    painted neck not everybodyd idea of fun


    I was going to offload mine but I've a project I'm using it on these days and it fits the bill brilliantly.It also compliments my Sterling very well.

    hope this helps

    Stingray vs Sterling

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    the SR5 is the only 5 string I ever held onto.it was a great bass but didnt sound as full on as any Sterling I've owned/played even though its got the same control layout.just seemed softer,more hi-fi than growl,the 5 sits great in a mix though
