Hi everyone, I finaly got around to registering on this forum. I have posted pic's of my new SB2 fretless over on the Dudepit but just figured I would post them here as well on case somebody needed to GAS for a SB-2 Fretless
I know there has been some concerns on how the build and quality of the newer G&L's would be and I have too say this bass is perfect in every aspect, It plays and sounds like a dream and the finish is spectacular. |

|  | needs to spend more time on music and less on gear | | Join Date: Jan 2000 Location: Spring, TX (Houston metro) | | Nice toothless SB-2! I thought I'd try to add to the GAS flames. I ordered mine new last year (since used ones are rare as hen's teeth) and it is perfect also. I just wish my intonation was better so I could play it more often (I know, I know, practice more . . . )

I just thought I discovered a missing musical scale when I heard all of those bass notes that don't seem to fit with what anybody else is playing
By the way it was the pitcure of your bass that I had seen over on the Dudepit that made me decide on the SB-2 as my choice for a fretless. I love these basses! |
