2007 will be exciting.

any idea what the lefty 2000 will run?? Oh I am excited!!!!:hyper:

Well they are just being released at NAMM tomorrow. Contact your dealer next week and ask for details.

I've been waiting for a lefty....SB-2. :(

i got one of the new 2007 L2k tributes last week (right handed, though). natural finish, rosewood fingerboard. plays like a dream. the logo on the headstock is nicer than the old version, i think. unfortunately i don't currently have access to a digital camera, so no pics yet...

That black SB-2 is freakin' awesome! Think i found my next bass!

damn! no SB2 with maple fb...

Why no tone control on the SB-2?

That bass is meant to keep things simple. So only 2 knobs (like a P bass).

Why no tone control on the SB-2?

The bridge pickup acts somewhat like a tone control. Often folks have a P type bass and always leave the tone full on anyhow.

If you do that with you P type bass an SB-2 will shine for you.

Jim

Anyone know if it'd be possible to get that black SB-2 with maple fretboard through local dealer? Wouldn't matter to me if decal said JB2? Or should I then buy both, swap necks and sell JB-2?

I recently got the US version of that bass- all black w/ matching headstock + unmarked Ebony board. It kills!

Matching headstock would be effin' killer. I wish I could afford a US. But the tribute is more in my price range right now. I need a back-up bass for my SB-2 sunburst.

Mind if I ask where your purchased it from?

If I had the money I'd buy the black SB2 and the burst JB2, then swap necks!

The SB-2 would be my metal axe and the JB-2 for personal practice and taking to lessons.

I got it from a place called "NitroTone Music" on Ebay. It was one of those "Buy it Now or Best Offer" auctions and I offered what I thought to be a ridiculously low price ($925 I believe- and with free shipping, their Buy it Now price was $1200!) because the bass was so hot! They took the offer, and now I have the most badass SB-2 on the block!

Karl

I noticed that the link siad the Tributes are now made of Basswood- I wonder how that would sound compared to my Alder SB-2?

So I asked my local G&L dealer this, he said he can't. Fair enough.

Or should I buy both, swap necks and sell JB-2?

I asked this too, and he replied: 'I doubt that those necks are interchangable. This strikes me as odd, 'cause the neck dimensions are exactly the same!?

What do you guys think. Can they be swapped out?
Man I hate G&L for not bringing out a tribute SB-2 with a maple fretboard!!!:mad:
I swear I have had dreams of me playing that black tribute with a maple neck!:help:

I got it from a place called "NitroTone Music" on Ebay.

They actually have a store in Cambridge, MA right near Harvard. The guys that owns it seems like a pretty nice person. If I ever get a a Tribute it will be from NitroTone.

Congrats on the new bass!

I can't find any pricing on the Tribute JB-2 anywhere on the web. Anyone know anything?

street price should be under $500

I can't find any pricing on the Tribute JB-2 anywhere on the web. Anyone know anything?
I've heard from a couple of dealers that minimum advertised price will be $449.99. But confirm that with your favorite G&L dealer.

can someone please PM me with their email?? i cant seem to find, and i need to contact them

You can't easily swap the necks between the SB-2 and JB-2 Tributes because the SB-2 has a 4 bolt neck and the JB-2 has a 6 bolt neck, IIRC. Too bad, I also wanted an SB-2 w/ a maple board though the rosewood one is working out quite well for me.

Does anyone know if the necks can be swapped if 2 extra holes are drilled in the SB-2 neck and mounted on the JB-2 body? Similarly, can the JB-2 neck be mounted on the SB-2 using the 4 outter holes (that is, are 4 of the 6 holes on the JB-2 neck the same spacing as the holes 4 on the SB-2 neck)?

my lefty l2000 should be arriving tomorow :bassist:
cant wait.

I have an older model Trib sb2 that I will never get rid of----it has a maple neck and fretboard----I wonder why they discontinued it ?

NOTE: I tried to gingerly scratch out the "tribute" on the headstock, ya know, to pull off a "real" g&l" but butchered it, so I stuck the number PI in glow in the dark numbers. (Hey, I'm a science geek...)

another note: I sold the Roscoe on the right----very rare woods, and incredible bass....worth so much that I used the money to buy a bargain-priced Modulus Q6 I was/am in love with.

If the price is right on the JB-2's then I think I might just have to get myself one. I'm really liking that natural one, if only they made it with a maple board...
