mr.sibs Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 okay... so never really played these basses that much but they are starting to cause me to think... Is this like fender v squier, or musicman v olp, or are the tribute models as good as the standard?? any help will be gladly received ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.sibs Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 hmmm, okay i guess that makes it more clear, so pretty much the same hardware, different factories on different continents.. are the g&l tributes still pretty playable basses then? i guess i should try one... but where!

There may have been discernible differences in terms of construction, woods, finishing etc but I couldn't tell that in the dark rehearsal studio we were in that day. Both very nice basses!

dub_junkie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dave,you probably know now I wasnt lying when I said at the time, I had to get it out the house because after a fettle it played slicker than my USA ones I was a right twat letting it go so I'm glad you're still very happy with it.I'd definetely buy another Tribute L2K or hopefully a JB-2 sometime in the future.

machinehead Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Played a Tribute L2000 on Saturday. What a fantastic bass. If I'd discovered these a few years ago I would have bought one for certain. Now I have far too many guitars. The feel and playability are right up there with the best. The range of tones is enormous and the richness of the sound is just what I love in a bass. Top quality at a bargain price. I was offered about £100 off the price ticket right away. I was way too close to spashing out again on another impulse buy.
