G&L Bass ForumAddicts of Leo Fender's latest basses welcome here, as well as those interested in what drives the addiction to the basses from Fender Avenue.
It's not even an apples and oranges comparison since the basses are so different. A more fair comparison would be the SB-1 and the P-Bass, but I believe there was another model that's even closer to a P. (LB100 I think? I forgot since they're not that common.)
G&L bass are generally hard to find except on ebay. sb-1 pops up every now and then, but not as much as sb-2. You can always get a sb-2 and mod it to add a tone control instead of the original vol/vol. In fact, there's one for sale right now on "For Sale" section.
Yeah, you can't even begin to compare them. The L2K is a sonic monster, I still can't believe how aggressive it is when I plug it in. A totally different animal than a P-Bass.
With the neck pu soloed, series setting, and preamp off, I can, in my ears, closely cop a P bass tone with the quintessential middy bark and booku warmth (treble rolled off of course )
Since I like to tinker with different tones, the L2K is my laboratory of choice.
