    Thoughts on the G&L SB Basses?

    HI all. Am really thinking about an Sb1 with the split MFD. I am wondering, I keep reading positive things about this and have loved every G&L I have ever picked up, but is there a reason these are at the bottom level of G&L's price wise? I see nice ones for $700+ all over. In fact I just...

    Unhappy with Dunlop SB Steels - Alternatives anyone?

    I've generally used Dunlop SB Nickels on MTD Z5. But they seem to lack just a bit of that "zing" that I like for an active soapbar bass. I've upgraded it with USA Bart P25CBC (Classic Bass) pups and an HR-5.2/918 preamp. I tried Dunlop SB steels but all they seemed to have was the "zing", but...
