Hey y'all,
I just discovered this new forum after bringing home my first G&L 5-string custom blueburst and visiting some related websites. Basically, this new bass had a buncha knobs & switches and no instructions - sheesh, I guess I was already s'posed to know how to use 'em...

Thank goodness for the G&L website with the downloadable instructions!
I learned how to play on an original purchase '72 Jazz Bass with a beautiful golden sunburst finish, ashtray, etc. that I had to sell in college when I was down on my luck and no money to pay the rent..
I replaced it with a remake many years later and now have 3 basses to play with!
I use vintage Peavey amps from the early 1970's for that classic sound, and I'm "anchor man" of a small combo here in the Dallas, TX metroplex. Weesa havin' fun!
