artisan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Ok I know,I'll post some pics when I can 😁 Just been to see Drew at GBBL to trade my stingray classic for his beautiful USA G&L JB. Finished in 3tsb/rosewood + tort' By 'eck it's lovely,So easy to play compared to the stingray & sounds really good. They really nailed that vintage J bass tone & the build quality is exemplary,I mean it's perfect. Can't wait to get home a play with it (I may even play my bass too 😁) So chuffed Edited August 15, 2017 by artisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Congratulations, can't wait to see the pics. Drew sold me my lb100 a few months back and I can't put it down still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 lovely. Love my old L1000 and are craving for a better Jazz Bass. How is the neck profile on those compared to a Fender American Professional (which I feel very confy with)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very nice neck though,G&L #8,it reminds me of an overwater jazz bass I had a while back.( except the G&L has a perfect body to neck joint,unlike the shoddy amateurish one on the overwater "hand made" bass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to you on your lovely bass [/quote] Thank you. She's on holiday with me now, we're merrily playing through standing in the shadows of Motown again. Agree about the neck joint on G&Ls, that's one of the first things I noticed picking it up. And after hearing a will lee performance the other day I have GAS for a jb now.

artisan Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm glad I got this on Saturday then,otherwise you may have nabbed it first 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just got back in from rehersal & my word this thing kicks ass,where some jazz basses can sound a little thin this baby has a really meaty punch,you'd almost think it was active. For me it just blows my old stingray classic away & I can now hear every note I play,including the G string. Happy me. I'll try & post some pics tomorrow evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gthyni Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 lovely. just wonder why they removed the neck tilt mechanism from the newer basses. It was a really nice feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
