Light, punchy, more bass is an SB-1 all the way

Cato - SB-2's are nice basses for sure, and pack a lot of punch and bite. So far as tribbies go in general the necks are a littl thicker on the L series, so just check on the SB's what they are like, but they are definitely quality instruments. Considering you use a Jazz bass already I'm interested in tonally what you are looking at (no disrespect meant in the question). The G&L Jazz basses are different to other Jazz's with G&L's pick ups being just awesome. There is the JB and the MJ which is wired and wound differently and is noise cancelling compared to the JB. If its more of a passive P sound, but modern and aggressive then the SB-1 may be a good compliment on its own without the J element. If its traditional P, then LB-100 is your go to. Whatever you decide, G&L is the way forward

It is essential G&Ls are in pairs though in case they get lonely....

That's fair I may be going to 2 as well

What, only 2 G&Ls...... You are letting the side down!

Can't believe no one has put G&L in the mix, awesome basses, well within the price range for a custom build choosing colours, neck etc. And really good second hand prices. JB series and the MJ series for a different flavour but still a Jazz

Man, that is majorly poor, sorry to hear that. All good things come to those who wait, if I were you I would be pushing for a sneaky set of extra strings or something. Fingers crossed it pans out and can't wait for the real photos

+1 for MXR Totally depends if you want chorus to run the song or sit back and add 'something'

Do these let me join the Club? Got to love a G&L ASAT!

More than any one man can handle, but giving it my best shot!

Cheers for that Convinced me just to be happy with the LH1000

If you have a good Luthier, pick up a tribby and de-fret? Maybe a Frankenstein bass

EBS Octabass is pretty good and simple. Got mine for £50 second hand. I had a POG, just wasn't for me

Yep, tinkering with L2000 circuits is so much fun. I thought I have my ASAT figured and then i got a semi hollow version and it's opened up even more avenues. Between the solid and the semi ASAT, I am very happy and can get most sounds from a P type sound through to very modern deep bass and brighter sonic territories. A G&L is for life, not just for Xmas

I'm a big G&L fan, but you are correct they are difficult to source here in the UK. I took a punt on an ASAT solid body and got it shipped from the states after seeing it on Talkbass and doing a bit of research. All in including shipping and tax etc. It worked out either cheaper or the same as the prices here, but of course they did not have one like that over here. Best thing i ever did, i have gone on to own an L1500, which is their take of a stingray and now and ASAT Semi-Hollow. Like Gaz says they are some of the best made and sounding instruments you will find for the price anywhere in the world, yes he moved his on as he preferred a Fender sound which is cool, but its not a love or hate type of bass, you will either love it or really love it and not want to let it go. Quick look on the internet there are a couple on gumtree and ebay, and to get the neck specs then its on the G&L website. If its a defo P Bass you want LB100 is the classic sounding one, SB-2 PJ but you still get a Ptype sound, but with versatility, SB-1 is a P bass on major steroids. If you are going to take the plunge bear in mind they are 'hotter' pick ups than most other basses and the controls both volume and tone were designed to sit around 75% at max. The only negative side is that if you do make a purchase from wherever and you want to move the bass on, you my have to be patient because of the reason you stated that its not big in the UK, despite being fairly big across the pond and fantastic instruments. Good luck and let us know how you are getting on

Well this is an LH1000 with a Barefaced Supertwin. It's plain Evil!

No experience with the Genz but I think it would. I know someone who runs a tecamp puma 900 and with the supertwin the cab enhanced the amp no end
