I'm enjoying this new creation of mine so much, I thought I'd share it with the group. What you're seeing here is a 1988 G&L L1000 ash body that was originally Clear Blue. I had a body finishing guy on the east coast finish it in black/red or "Blackberry". The neck is from a 1983 G&L SB-2.. 1...
I'm sure there are discussions, but this is *my* discussion. I am saving funds and have some $$ to put towards a P, but then a G&L LB-100 caught my eye. Just a little bit more than the P but greater savings. Also, I love G&L.
Saw a pal at a show yesterday (matinee shows FTW), and he said, "why...
Super cool bass, first rendition of the SB-2 before they became a PJ config, this one was refinished at some point, but plays great, neck feels awesome, low action, playability and tone are just there. all hardware and electronics except for the knobs are original.
here’s a vid I made to show...

For better or worse I’m taking the jump to primarily fretless and since the one on the right is clearly that, the one on the left has now faithfully served its duty with honor. A 2017 SB-2T (factory volume / volume / tone) in classy Shoreline Gold, these things are, without taking the short...

Hoping to find a 3 bolt old G&L Neck for my 1991 L2000 to replace the #6 neck it came with.. It's bassically a Jazz bass profile. The nut is 1 1/2" and I think the radius is 7.25"? Also it has the satin finish.. Really nice neck but too small for me.. I'm really liking thicker more substantial...
I have an early 80s G&L that has become my #1. However, I've noticed on gigs where I'm playing for 2-3 hours the back of the neck feels pretty sticky about 1/2 way through the gig. I don't have super sweaty hands or anything.. It's a pretty typical early 80s (1983) high gloss maple neck...
Howdy,
Just picked up a 1982 SB-2 and may have a chance at a 1982 SB-1. Just curious if anyone out there has had both the SB-1 and the SB-2 (JJ) and can comment on tonal similarities? It seems to me that the SB-2 should sound exactly like an SB-1 with just the neck pick up selected right...
This USA G&L SB-2 is in excellent shape, recently outfitted with TI Jazz Flats. Otherwise, the machine is stock to my knowledge.
Exhaustive serial number research has confirmed a date of 2002. Has few blemishes though, some normal scratches but nothing really notable, and tuners and knobs are...

I am thinning the herd so you will see several of my basses up here. This is a sweet G&L SB-2. MADE IN USA. Great player. Electronics are great. Frets are probably 80%. Low action. Good maple neck. Great passive electronics. Some scratches that would be consistent with its age. Comes with a...

This is my "holy crap I did the math on what 3.5% down on a FHA loan is and that's totally attainable" gear sell off.
Prices firm. Including boxes and goodies (extra cables when listed!) I'd say everything is "very good" condition - a couple small scuffs but I like to err on the side of under...

I love these things as can be seen in the below picture, but redundancy is an opponent of retirement and the competing Belair Green one is an absolutely wicked (add “pisser” if you are from New England) machine. In excellent shape both cosmetically and functionally; no dings or scratches or...

I just came across this very nice clear pickup demo video which really showed me why I like the sound of the MFD split pickup so much.
The video goes seamlessly through a cycle of G&L -> Fender -> DiMarzio -> Ken Smith × 3 (finger/pick/slap) I must admit, I didn't pay much attention to the...
A few weeks back I ordered the same bass in black, then cancelled it the next day when I recalled completing a survey for Music & Arts promising a 25% discount on $100 or more. After waiting for the promised coupon I reviewed the limitations and exclusions and it said special orders and pretty...
Absolutely lovely G&L Tribute SB-2 from 2003. This instrument is in excellent cosmetic condition and plays and sounds great! Nary a mark on her.
Unlike the current Indonesian versions available only in frost black or light blue, this one is finished in G&L's honey over ash.
Only minor issue...

Hi all!
I have a G&L Kiloton Tribute that weighs 4.67kg (10.3lbs). It hurts... I have a G&L SB-2 Tribute that weighs around 4.2kg, with the same body shape and similar hardware (in terms of weight).
Ironically, I expected the Kiloton to be lighter then SB-2 because it's basswood, while SB-2 is...
Normally, I would just experiment with different strings and if it doesn't work out, oh well. Just buy a different set. But at the price tag these are, I'd like to know a little bit in advance from those that play them. It's for a G&L SB-2 with those hot MFD pickups and I just want to know if it...
G&L named it “Metallic Royal Purple” but my daughter calls it “Purple Nurple”, either way it is a very cool bass. Bound top and a matching cream pickguard, lightly tinted 1 1/2” nut width (9.5” radius) maple neck and board with a tasty bit of figure. Just under nine pounds on my highly advanced...

So yesterday I received a G&L Tribute SB-2 from Sweetwater. This was the first time I had ever purchased a bass going in "blind," so my fingers were crossed.
The Good:
-I didn't pay for the special setup treatment from Sweetwater but it was very playable out of the box. I'll be dropping the...
So I recently picked up this sweet SB-2 on Reverb.
Serial number indicates its from '96.
Three bolt neck design.
The curious thing as you can see from the pictures are the modifications.
A control plate added with one concentric vol/tone and a pickup blend.
Its pretty clear they cut the...
So I'm planning on giving the G&L Tribute SB-2 a shot. I play an Ibanez SR1800 with stock Nordstrand Big Singles in it, but play with the blend at 80/20 (neck/bridge) nearly all the time. I got to thinking that maybe I've really wanted a P or P/J all this time.
Since I can't really try any out...
What I’ve got here is the student model case from G&L. This would come with an SB-1 or SB-2.
I got it by mistake and after tracking down the period correct case for my bass this one is available.
One latch is broken.
Im open to trades, offers, whatever. Buy me a set of strings?
