solo4652 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I have a G&L Tribute L-2000. I normally have it switched to "both" pups, sometimes switching to bridge for a more jazzy sound. In the last 2 days, the bass has lost it's smooth rounded P-sound no matter which pup I select, and is sounding very burpy. Major fiddling with the amp to heighten the mids and treble doesn't seem to improve it. I have fitted a new battery - no change. My other bass seems to be working as normal with no noticeable tone changes. Any ideas? Steve Edited July 8, 2009 by solo4652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of crispness and definition - normally not a problem with G&L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
