I went to a Guitar Center while I was in New York a few weeks ago, and I got a chance to play one. I must say, I liked it a lot :) It was very very nice. The guy who worked there was telling me how it was the only G&L the store had in stock and that he was surprised no one had purchased it yet. It had a tele-esque body like the topic creator's G&L except it was in a cherry sunburst color. Very pretty!:)

darkstar02 08-11-2005 07:28 PM

good because I love my Tribute L 2000. I have gotten so many complements on my bass. The way it look and sounds. Great bass but I would love a G&L L-2000. But love my bass. I wish I could get pics but no camera

[QUOTE=JoeDaddio]To Lewis Therin:

G&L actually have 5 neck options to choose from. Mine is the baseball bat you speak of, but I've gotten used to it, and actually prefer it over Jazz style necks. As for the electronics, you can switch it in to passive mode (which is where it usually is set for me). Honestly I don't know why more G&L's aren't used for metal; their pups are some of the most "hot" out there. Some people complain of noise while in active mode, but I don't get any.


[/QUOTE]

wasnt aware of the neck thing, every one ive ever played has the baseball bat neck.

and I know you can switch them into passive, but that still leaves you with superfluous controls and electronics.

Where's PandaLicker?

I was >this< close to getting an L2500 but then went with Ric. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get an natural or Blueburst L2500 as my next bass.

G&L's rock my socks off.

Ikkir 08-12-2005 04:04 AM

Here's my G&L:-

That binding looks pretty sweet.

Those toes on the other hand, do not ;)

I was super close to getting a MM before the ASAT. The reason I went for the G&L was its versatility. I absolutley LOVE the MM tone, but when you buy a MM, that's really all you get. With this I can get quite a few different tones from it, though generally I don't mess with the tone too much after I've found a combo I like. I think they are both great basses, and some day I'd like a MM... but that's down the list after I get a vintage P ;)

[/QUOTE]

Whilst I do disgagree with that comment, especially with the Sterling and 'Ray 5, I can get a lot of different sounds out of my Sterling, it's alot of getting to know the bass. Still, if your worried about that, there's always the H/H Ray's and Sterling's now ;)

I'll have you know I'm very proud of my toes. :p

morpcat 08-12-2005 08:33 AM

Don't own one, but was playing one yesterday. They do actually club most things to death.


Even baby seals.

I love the MM tone, and you definately can get varying sounds. The G&L does a decent MM, but in order to get that true MM tone, you need a MM. And what are these new MM's you're tlaking about?

/runs to website

G&Ls are definately great basses. I dont like that I havent seen any neck-through models, but other than that they are cool, my friend owns one. I would never trade my spector for one though...

Jaded 08-19-2005 11:37 AM

I don't think they've come out just yet.

JoeDaddio 08-19-2005 11:42 AM

This retarded comp here at workl doesn't have flash, so i can't go to the website... lame.




joe

jollygiantchris 08-19-2005 04:06 PM

i love my G&L L-2000 iut cuts through everything and has a pretty powerful sound >:o i also like the fact that it weighs a ton because im a pretty big dude and it balances better for me because of the weight. all in all G&L makes a fine instrument >:o. only thing is i wish i had a camera >:(

Yman 08-19-2005 04:13 PM

mmmmm joe your bass is tremalicious.

JoeDaddio 12-30-2005 02:45 PM

With all the "Show me Yours!" threads starting up, I thought this deserved to be up here ;)
