right on , so yeah SB-1 is gone ? It was never really listed before either like the other instruments , it was a special order from the factory and perhaps still is . Glad to have scored a killer one though , love that bass.

G&L's Facebook was talking about the SB-1, just yesterday. Apparently it's still around, just not listed. Here's a quote from G&L:

"We need to get one or two SB-1s shot and get them up on the G&L site. The SB-1 returned to the price list last year. So, yeah, we definitely dropped the ball on this one. - Dave"

M-Series inc. the JB's, Rustics, SB-1 and now the LB.

G&L suddenly stepped up their product-offering game.

One of the best bang-for buck instruments.

chances are it'll be right in line with the sb-1/2 models. im guessing street price will either be about the same, or less than an AS fender p-bass.

Call a Dealer; they'll hook you up. I'd estimate around $1500 WITH a lot of the great build options G&L does- TGN, neck binding, radii-

So cool.

does that P bass come in a 5-string flavor? Looked around and I didn't see it.

The LB-2500 and LB-1505 have, traditionally, been G&L's only 5-strings.

Many things have changed since Paul Gagon came aboard, though. If you told me 3 years ago that G&L would be manufacturing a set-neck mahogany-bodied, dual-humbucker guitar, I would have laughed at you...

...now, not only do they make one, they make TWO!

Slimmer profile than a Fender, amazing bridge, and the Plek fret processing. After I saw the video on Plek, http://www.plek.com/en_US/technik/
I got pretty excited about this bass guitar.
Funny - the body shape reminds me of a stratocaster!
Notice the upper horn...

And the bass looks smart - I like the bridge.

No affiliation, but for interested buyers:
GUITAR ADOPTIONS is hooked up very well with G&L; I've bought (3) G&L's through them; great prices & service.

Wouldn't take much for me to spec out an LB-100; they look great!

The G&L Saddle-locking bridge is about as good as a bridge gets IMO
