FT Feeler: G&L Fretless SB-2 w/ tone mod GandL

krovx · #1 11-06-2010, 03:24 PM

Picked this up from craigb, it is awesome! I think I have found the 'p-tone' I have wanted, and it is from the SB series. Here is the info from craig:

G&L SB-2 fretless
- unlined ebony board
- 1.5" nut width, satin neck
- 8.0lbs
- Lake placid blue
- 3-bolt neck
- stacked master vol/J-pickup vol and tone
- some wear (small dings, dents, etc.) but looks good and plays very sweetly
- hard case

A very nice fretless SB2. The lack of frets gets rid of a lot of the "clank" that an SB2 can produce (one of the reason I always put tone controls on my SB2s) and it can snarl/mwah nicely. I just don't play it very often and would rather have greater fretted variety available to me than a fretless right now.

Link:
FS/T: 2 G&L SB-2s (USA, narrow neck, light)

I rewired it to stack P vol/ J vol, tone. Great tones all around. Currently strung with Thomastik flats and sounds great!

Looking for a fretted version SB-2 or SB-1. Hope it has the tone mod, if not it is simple wiring for me. I have debated about getting another neck so I can have both fretted and fretless but I don't see myself playing the fretless as much. Straight sale I am asking 670.00 shipped.

Updated trade bait:

I am really looking into venturing into the Line6 stuff. I mostly play at home and the modeling will give me the flexibility I want. Really interested in a variax bass, variax guitar (preferably the 300) and a Pod HD500 or Pod X3 live. Always into a great SG as well.

Out of town until the 29th so I might be slower to respond. Feel free to submit OBOs!

How's the thump with the treble rolled off?

Hey Mike,

It is very thumpy because these pickups are very powerful yet very clear. Have you ever played a SB-2 with the tone mod? A P is the only instrument I need to have a passive tone control on. I dig it but I think I am more of a fretted guy.

I had a pic of this bass or one just like it for my desktop image for a while - I think it's a beauty. Have you pondered pricing a fret job for it?

I think it would be hard to justify the cost since it is a bolt on neck and I could get a different neck for it. It is beautiful though! There has to be some fretless lover out there that wants to add it to their arsenal
