TheGreek Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Ooops - I did it again. A G&L L2500 came up locally at a good price - maiden bid and I stole it. We getting to that stage again where I have "too many basses". What am I going to do?? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much bass for the money. I love them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't become the go to by accident. All the multi laminate fancy decorations on many modern boutique bases are just that. Makeup. So there mer 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

String it BEAD 🤣 If you couldn't use all its power before you certainly can't afterwards. Wimpish rubbish of course you can. I have wanted to experiment with bead for some while because I don't tend to use the g string on my 5 strings very much. So I've been looking for a cheap victim bass to do it to. Yesterday I woke up to the fact that I don't need another bass for this but what can I use. Something strong and powerful with big tone. It took me a long time to decide between my Blueburst and my clear coat orange. Blueburst is I believe ash over alder and weighs about 9lb 5 oz. Clear coat orange is solid ash and weighs 10lb 7 oz Not that heavy once you are wearing it on a 4 1/2 " Lekato strap. My 5 string clear coat is 12 lbs 2ozs including its strap. Anyway orange won and is so strong it didn't even need a setup afterwards. Lovely great big noise. I'm back in love with it.
