G&L family may have reached critical mass...

[4stringsjack]

I just wanted to share this pic of my G&L "family". I'll likely sell off a couple due to redundancies, but it's kind of cool to see them all together before I do. One pic is not so good- I took it with flash so you could see that the SB-2 on the far right is Bahama Blue (it looks black without the flash).

From left to right: '81 L2Ke, '82 L2Ke, '84 El Toro, '83 SB-2, '83 SB-2.

Pardon me for showing off the G&Ls. I'm just so freaking tickled that I finally (after looking at them for decades) discovered how awesome they are. I know a few of you (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) are in possession of far too many G&L basses. Go 'head and show them off!

Nice herd, but you need a 2nd gen SB-2.

No! No more basses! Lol

 

[metron]

Well done sir! Your collection makes me miss all my old g&ls.

No L1k, no family.





Just kidding, lovely collection!

How selfish. One day you will need to sell me an El Toro to be able to live with yourself.

Nice collection. Now add a new Kiloton!

My thought exactly, Jack!

 

[Clutchcargo]

Very impressive Jack. You have good taste sir. You'll never be outgunned at a bass shootout......

See, there's an L1k carefully hidden in that photo! (I added a 3 position coil selector to the blue L2000, so it has single coil, humbucking mode, and OMG mode... Put it in passive and select the neck pickup, and voila, pseudo L1k!)

dibs on the middle one!!!!

 

[seedokebass]

Sweet collection of the older ones! Does the middle one have an original neck with that headstock?

 

[mpdd]

really cool, I'm stopping with the L2k, Lynx, sb-2 pj, and LB100 unless of course an el toro falls into my lap for a great deal

 

[Crusher47]

Great collection!

 

[Doctor J]

I've a L1k, L2k and El Toro. I would love to lay my mitts on a Climax at some stage.

Yup, that's original. Somewhere around '83 the G&L headstock on some models changed from more Fender-ish to the bottle opener shape that is similar to what they use today. The El Toro is the middle one- it's from July '84.

dibs on the middle one!!!!

I agree--that is one sexy bass!

As someone who has no G&L family members myself, I'd like to pass along my admiration for your family, OP. I was about to ask the question about SB-2 being a PJ but I guess the PJ config is what's considered "2nd gen"?
