I just received a G&L LB-100. It'll be getting the same treatment as my Squier: a Dimarzio and Pro Steels. The Squier is already gone.

And you have one extra fret. Imagine the possibilities!

[Paul S]

My mistake, I thought this was about a girl I knew once.

[Guest]

I don't think I ever had the need to go beyond the 15th fret...

It's a shame the Squier has already been sold. I would have very generously offered the option of you keeping it and selling the SB1 to me 😃

 

The LB100 looks ace and I'm sure it plays like a dream too!

[Paolo85]

I have happily done one in, one out for the most part last year but now it gets tricky. I could do that for upgrades, as you did. Sell a P for a "better" P. But say I wanted a J, which I don't have, am I ready to sell for example one of my Ps for that? They have flats, rounds, tapes so I would argue they are completely different basses, not interchangeable. Maybe I could let one with tapes go?

That would be an excruciating decision to make!

[Jonesy]

I did one in one out for a while just as a self imposed rule........I ended up regretting a sale though so now it's one in then, maybe 6 months later once I'm fully on board with the new bass, it's potentially one out if I need it. I've also decided to put my basses on wall hangers as that sets a limit on how many I can have 😁

I bought a Mike Lull Jazz bass that was the best bass I'd played. A few weeks later I bought a Sadowsky Jazz and sold the Lull. One in one out. Now the Sadowsky is too heavy for me to gig and the Lull would have been perfect at just over 8lbs. Ho Hum!

You can always add floor stands later  .

Back in the day it was the only option, actually more like one out, one in.. If you fancied, say.. a Rick and you had a P bass, you had to flog the one you had then buy the one you wanted.

Unless you could con your mum into lending you the dosh until you sold the outward one of course 

[Guest]

Having two basses both with Model Ps and Pro Steels would be beyond even me.

So, for now, my two basses are my SB-1 and this LB-100

Why remove the stock G&L pickup for an inferior aftermarket version?

Inferior by whose standard?

 

Si

The LB100 doesn’t come with the MFD I don’t think

It's not an MFD in the LB-100 - it's G&L's take on the common or garden P pickup. FWIW I like G&L's alnico V P pickup, but it's no MFD.

Don't worry, it's just my stalker trolling my thread

I've taken to putting some of my basses on wall hangers as it keeps them out of cat range. Currently I have three unused wall hangers to put up. Just trying to make sure where I want them before I get out the drill.

Already checked for buried cables.

[2pods]

Between having crap, almost hollow walls, and the chance of hitting a cable or a pipe, wall hangers are off the menu for me.

 

Back on topic, I'd have to do a "one out, one in job". The trouble is I can never make my mind up which one I want out
