G&L L2000 Tribute In Action

[stingrayfan]

Just finished some new demos for my cover band using my G&L L2000 Tribute. The overall compression's taken a little bit of the edge off the sound but I think it still sounds great. "Chelsea Dagger" is with a pick, the other two tunes are fingerstyle.

Top playing, lovely tone and a very nice looking bass. A+++!

Love the bass tone, the guitar sounds like it's coming through a 10w practise amp though, way too fuzzy for me .

That's guitarists for you. You tell them to back it off but will they listen?

nice tone-
I've been listening to the Comsat Angels and I think Kevin Bacon (not the guy in Footloose...) used an L2000 on most of the tracks eg. "Island heart"- he's using one in the video for "Independence day".

Thanks for all the nice comments. We did them all in a day, so they're not perfect but good enough for us. We did bass and drums live (with a couple of minor punch-in repairs), then overdubbed guitar, vocals, b vox and some handclaps/tambourine. I got the engineer to add extra compression on the mix to make it sound richer but it's pretty much what we sound like live.

Ibanez guitars are horrible and should be made illegal.

Haha..not a fan of Ibbies? I've got a couple of six strings and they're fantastic. One's a Les Paul type and the finish is amazing. Sounds great too - nice and warm.

No, Ive always associated them with w***y OTT solos, funk/jazz/rock fusion nonsense and cheap first 'instrument' syndrome. Hardly a brand bias I suppose, just think they are tacky and have bad memories of buying my first guitar. I appreciate their basses are of a different quality.

I'm more of a Fender/Gibson man when it comes to guitars.
