Graham Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've got a hankering for a G&L SB-1 or SB-2 really liking the sound of them on Youtube, but have never tried one in the flesh - who lives fairly close RH19 (East Grinstead, West Sussex) have one I could try out? I can bring beer / wine / doghnuts with me and any of my gear you might want to give a go. I really like the idea of one of these, but want to see if it's "just" GAS or if it will be right for me, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have an SB-2 its the mutts lovely sound lovely feel nice weight but I think I am much to far from you to try it but it is a fantastic bass I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah, probably a bit too far Hhow do you use the dual volume controls and what sort of tone do you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I set them both at about 12 oclock I find that good for me its hard to try and describe the tone as everyone has different ideas on it but I would say I get a nice warm punchy rock sound with the settings I use mine also has an upgraded seymour SB1 pickup but I just love this bass I have tried a lot of other basses similair to this and they don't come close to the G+L for me maybe I am biased but all I know is it is just such a joy to play and sounds great looks pretty good too Edited July 1, 2013 by Thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have an old SB1 and love it. The pups are hugely powerful and with DR highbeams it growls in a very pleasing way. You're welcome to visit, with doughuts , although I'm about an hour and a half from you,in Herts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Cheers Garry, I'll keep that in mind, see if I can persuade the wife that disappearing for a few hours one evening is a good idea (feel free to make a whipped noise). But here's a couple of videos that set off the SB2 GAS in the first place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d-TWBj46tA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqZsWYcjEzk Apologies for the Matchbook Romance song - sh*te band, great tone.
